To register students new to the district, please bring the student's birth certificate, current immunization record, and proof of residency, such as a utilities statement, closing papers, or an apartment lease agreement - something to indicate you are a resident living in the Roosevelt attendance area.

If you are transferring from another Mesa School, just bring proof of residency and fill out school forms. We will ask the previous Mesa schools to transfer all other school records.

Kindergarten students must be 5 years old by August 31st. Roosevelt does provide an Early Learners Class ( 5 year olds between September 1 and December 31st).

During regular school hours, you may leave a voice-mail and the teacher will return your call when they have a planning period. Calls are not permitted into the classroom during times of instruction.
