PTSA - Roosevelt High School

PTSA Announcements

Roosevelt High School Voter Registration Drive September 25 and October 9, 2:15-3:45pm

If you will turn 18 before the next election on November 4th, then you need to register to vote. But did you also know that if you are currently 16 or 17 years old, you can now pre-register to vote? Pre-registration means that you will automatically be registered to vote when you turn 18. And now, the Roosevelt PTSA has made registration easy by bringing a voter registration drive to our school. All you need to register or pre-register is either your driver's license or your social security number.

There will be registration tables set up after school in the Commons and by the main entrance on 2:15 - 3:45 p.m. Wednesday, Sept 25th, and 2:15 - 3:45 p.m. Wednesday, Oct 9.

The Roosevelt PTSA is also looking for volunteers to help with the drive. Please contact Natalya Yudkovsky (natalya.yudkovsky@gmail.com) if you can help. A big thank you to the League of Women Voters for making this drive possible!
