We also provide appointments to meet with tutors before school starting at 7:30am, at lunch time, and extended hours for those that have extracurricular activities after school and need tutoring in evenings and/or during the weekends. We look forward to connecting with Roosevelt students to help them develop core competencies in their academic pursuit of excellence.
Getting help with your academics is as easy as 1-2-3.
- Request…a tutor by stopping by Room 103 at lunch time to sign-up for tutoring (or stop in during drop-in hours).
- Assess…your academic needs through meeting with an academic coach so we can provide “right-sized” academic support that aligns with your available time to meet.
- Attest…to the effectiveness of support through predictive analytics tracking and satisfaction surveys to ensure you’re not just getting support…you’re enjoying your learning journey with us.
Congratulations
Thanks to the Girls Varsity Soccer team. After beating Bellevue in the State Semi-Finals 2:1 they advanced to the State Finals against Seattle Prep.
