Pursuant to the Determination of the Commissioner of the Department of Health all staff must be vaccinated against COVID-19 or else be tested for COVID-19 once per week. In this regard, the Commissioner's Determination requires that all schools have the capacity to offer COVID-19 testing to teachers, students, and staff. Therefore, the Roosevelt Union Free School District has contracted with a testing company to administer weekly, on-site COVID-19 screening testing, each Thursday at the Roosevelt High School from 3:00-5:00 p.m.
It is with deep sorrow that the Board of Education and Superintendent announce the passing of Mrs. Debra Rainey, a star Clerical employee at the Roosevelt Middle School. Please keep the family lifted in your thoughts and prayers.
Dr. Emily Moore is a Long Island-based educator and activist. In the 1970s, she founded the Alliance Junior Tennis Development Program which introduced the sport to thousands of local kids. Through her efforts, many of her children went on to compete in tournaments across the country as well as obtain tennis scholarships for college. A lot of these students may not have discovered the joys of the game were it not for Moore’s programming.
There are no words to express how excited I am to welcome our students, staff, and faculty back into the halls of our beloved schools. It has been far too quiet without students' joyous laughter and excitement ready to soak up the information they learn inside their classrooms. I look forward to seeing the smiling faces of our students as they enter their respective schools prepared and willing to rise to new heights of academic success.
