Rider Remarks By Tim Hazlett, RHS Principal

Greeting from all of us at RHS! During the summer and prior to the beginning of this

school year I was really concerned about how this year would go at RHS. I mentioned some of

the reasons for concern in last month's newsletter and challenged our community to commit to

being a little different by emphasizing our togetherness as a community and taking on the, "We

are Roosevelt! We are one!" theme. The results and possibly the simple shift in expectation and

attitude have been exciting and obvious at RHS. We have had an outstanding start to our school

year and the sense of community and pride is growing every day. It makes me proud to see so

many people involved and engaged in what is happening at RHS.

Developing a sense of pride and togetherness as a learning community is very important and exciting,

but it is just one aspect of what we are trying to accomplish at RHS. Academic preparation and success for all

of our students is the main thing that we are working towards. This past year, we increased our overall

graduation rate while maintaining our desire to challenge students to achieve at high levels. We had eight

students achieve a very high honor of being recognized nationally as National Merit Semifinalists! They are

Chase Duffy, Hannah Fortin, Max Hawkins, CJ Irsfeld, Shikhar Kumar, Caroline Moriarty, Ryan Peters, and

Mike Schneider, these students have worked incredibly hard and are incredible students. Congratulations to

each of them. We are proud of you and you deserve the recognition that you have received.

In the month of October, we are hosting parent-teacher conferences from 4:00 to 7:30 on the 17th

and the 24th. We hope that you are able to attend and get to know our teachers and find out how your

student(s) are doing. If you have any concerns, please make every attempt to attend conferences or

communicate with us at any time vie e-mail or just give us a call. Another date to mark on your calendars is

October 21st as we do not have school on that day.

This year is off to a very good start and we hope to continue to improve and respond to student needs

throughout the school year. It is our privilege to work with all of our students and help them succeed and

prepare for their future after high school. We are always interested in hearing from you as parents and welcome

your communication. There are good things going on every day at RHS. We are Roosevelt! We are one!

About 1.6 million juniors in more than 22,000 high

schools entered the 2017 National Merit Scholarship

Program by taking the 2015 Preliminary

SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test

(PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen

of program entrants. The nationwide pool of

Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of

U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring

entrants in each state. Officials of National Merit

Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) announced the

names of approximately 16,000 Semifinalists in the

62nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program on

Wednesday. These academically talented high school

seniors have an opportunity to continue in the

competition for some 7,500 National Merit

Scholarships worth about $33 million that will be

offered next spring. Roosevelt is well represented this

year with 8 Semifinalists, the most in Sioux Falls and

the state. Please congratulate following students for a

job well done: Chase Duffy, Hannah Fortin, Max

Hawkins, CJ Irsfeld, Shikhar Kumar, Caroline

Health 101: Important!

Keep Your Children Healthy

NOTICE: The State Department of Health is no longer providing free flu vaccine to schools, which means the Sioux Falls School District will not be holding flu shot clinics in the middle and high schools this year. Families should contact their health care provider for the flu vaccine.

Seasonal colds, flu and other respiratory illnesses are unwelcome interruptions to our lives. Encourage your child to practice the following prevention tips:

Avoid close contact with those who are sick. Don’t share food/drinks.

Cover coughs and sneezes. Help keep germs from circulating-cover your nose with a tissue when sneezing and dispose tissues properly. When coughing, cover your mouth with your arm, not your hand.

Wash your hands periodically with soap and water for 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer when you’re not near a sink.

Avoid touching your face. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose or mouth.

Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, drink plenty of fluids, manage stress and eat nutritious foods.

Get a flu vaccine, it’s not too late!

Library and Computer Lab Hours – 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM

Recently Roosevelt freshmen and sophomores

had the opportunity to hear a presentation by a

noted and award-winning author of teen

mysteries. April Henry, who has twenty

published novels, spoke to the students about

her creative process, her research, and her

climb to become an acclaimed author. She told

the students, “If you want to become a writer,

you must be a reader.”

The following books were written by April Henry

and can all be found in the RHS Library:

The Body in the Woods - While helping the Portland

County Sheriff's Search and Rescue to seek a

missing autistic man, teens Alexis, Nick, and Ruby

find, instead, a body and join forces to find the girl's

murderer, forming an unlikely friendship, as well.

Blood Will Tell - Nick Walker goes from being a

member of Portland's Search and Rescue team to the

prime suspect in a murder.

Girl I Used to Be - Olivia was only three-years-old

when her mother was murdered and her father went

missing. For fourteen years, everyone assumed her

father was the killer. But when new evidence comes

to light that shows her father was murdered on the

same day as her mother, the realization that her

parents's killer is still on the loose has Olivia

determined to uncover the truth. But the killer is

just as determined to stop her.

Girl Stolen - When an impulsive carjacking turns into

a kidnapping, Griffin, a high school dropout, finds

himself more sympathetic to his wealthy, blind victim,

sixteen-year-old Cheyenne, than to his greedy father.

The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die - Waking up

with no memory in a cabin occupied by two men

debating whether to kill her, Cady is forced to flee

for her life as she searches for answers. Eventually,

she is aided by a young man named Ty, and has to

wonder what his true motives are as well.

The Night She Disappeared - Told from various

viewpoints, Gabie and Drew set out to prove that

their missing co-worker Kayla is not dead, and to find

her before she is, while the police search for her

body and the man who abducted her.

The School Store is open Monday through Friday 8 -

8:15 am, Mon - Thursday 11 am to 3:30 and Fridays 11

am - 1:30pm. If you have questions for the store you

The store will also be open during parent teacher

conferences in October. Be sure to come and get a

head start on some holiday shopping! Any remaining

clearance items will be an extra 10% off those nights.

We have expanded our youth section to include tops

from Under Armour as well as an Under Armour

sweatshirt. This is perfect for those of you who are

smaller in size or have middle schoolers.

In addition to snacks and general clothing we also

carry index cards, lanyards, carbiners, coffee cups,

travel mugs, socks, water bottles, hats, mittens,

scarfs, USB drives, earbuds, coozies, key chains,

headbands, chapstick, phone chargers, backpacks,
