Roosevelt High School Graduation Ceremony, Peterson Field- May 25, 2018

The graduating class of 2018 will hold commencement ceremonies at 7pm on the RHS

football field. Please have your graduating senior to the main gymnasium at 6pm for the

ceremony. Graduates should report back to the gym immediately following the

ceremony to return gowns and to receive their diploma. Handicap seating will be

available at Peterson Field. In the case of inclement weather, Butler Hancock

Gymnasium at University of Northern Colorado in Greeley will be the alternate

graduation site.

2018 RHS Summer School Session

Coursework will take place on the Roosevelt High School campus from June 4th – 28th,

Mondays to Thursdays from 8am to 12pm. Courses will be delivered utilizing the RHS

On-Line course delivery system and teachers will be present to facilitate lessons. Cost of

the on-line courses are $75.00 for one course and $50 for an additional course. Tuition

must be paid in full at the time of registration or the student will not be enrolled in the

class. Students may take a maximum of 2 courses. Because the Summer School session

is condensed, the attendance policy differs from Roosevelt High School’s regular school

year’s attendance policy and will be strictly enforced. Students will lose credit on their

third absence. No tuition refund.

Students may work at home as well (beyond the scheduled school day), on their own

computer with internet access, in order to successfully finish all their summer school

courses requirements. Once a student has successfully completed their summer school

course requirements, they do not need to attend on campus during the scheduled school

day(s).

One-half (0.5) credit will be awarded for each successfully completed Summer School

course. The course will be reflected on a student’s transcript. Credits and grades earned

during Summer School will be applied toward the number of credits needed for

graduation as well as the student’s overall GPA.

Safe Summer for Teens

Summer break gives your high schooler a chance to unwind. But it also means

unsupervised time, whether he or she is out with friends or at home alone. Put a plan in

place now to help keep him or her safe.

Discuss rules for different situations. Decide who is allowed over when you are

not home. What circumstances do you want them to contact you? Also, leave

emergency contact numbers.

Fill time with healthy activities. Include routines for work, exercise, chores, etc..

With leftover time, they could explore a hobby or tackle a project.

Review online safety. Be sure to keep social media pages private and not give out

personal information. Do not agree to meet in person with anyone you’ve met

online.

Starting the Job Hunt

Share these tips with your teenager as they begin the job search for the summer:

Think about what fits. Consider how many hours your child is available and

which locations he or she can get to by walking or driving. Also, what jobs relate

to their interests?

Create a resume. Having a resume will set them apart from others. This also

makes them look professional and interested. It is also a good reference when

filling out an application.

Reach out. Encourage your teen to talk to teachers, relatives, and friends’

parents. Perhaps someone knows a business owner who needs summer help.
