Roosevelt Hornet Newsletter
Dear Roosevelt Families,
As I write this message, there are only 13 days of school left for our children! It has been a year of many transitions twists and turns. We have weathered the storm of new common core standards, new assessments, new technology, a new funding formula, and even a new principal. I appreciate your patience and understanding as we ride this wave of change.
Please remind your students that their behavior is very important during this time of year and that they are Hornets at all times. Our teachers are working hard to remind students of school protocol, but your extra support really helps.
Thank you for your continued support.
Dr. Soraya Sablo Sutton Principal
Queridas Familias de Roosevelt,
Al estar escribiendo este mensaje, quedan solo 13 dias de escuela para los estudiantes. Ha sido un ano de muchos giros y cambios para la transicion. Hemos
aguantado la tormenta de los nuevos estandares comunes, nuevas evaluaciones, nueva tecnologia, una nueva formula presupuestal, y ademas una nueva directora.
Aprecio mucho su paciencia y comprension en tanto nosotros sobrepasamos esta ola de cambios. Por favor recuerdele a su(s) estudiante(s) que su comportamiento es muy importante en este etapa del ano y que son Hornets todo el tiempo. Nuestros maestros estan trabajando para recordarles a los estudiantes el protocolo de la escuela, pero su apoyo extra realmente nos ayuda.
Gracias por su continuo apoyo.
Dr. Soraya Sablo Sutton Directora, Escuela Primaria Roosevelt

Gifted and Talent Education (GATE)
Past practice in SLUSD has been to test all students in grade 3 for Gifted and Talent Education (GATE) in the spring.
This year grade 3 students will not be tested; instead all grade 4 students will be tested in the fall of next year.
Additionally, we are exploring the possibility of implementing an online test of all GATE testing next year. More
information will be forthcoming in Fall 2014.
Educación Para Estudiantes Dotados y Talentosos (GATE)
La práctica del Distrito Escolar Unificado de San Leandro ha sido el de impartir un examen GATE a todos los
estudiantes del 3 grado en la primavera. Este año los estudiantes de tercer grado no presentaran dicho examen, a
cambio estaremos examinando a todos los estudiantes que cursan el 4 grado en el otoño. Además, estamos
explorando la posibilidad de implementar un examen en línea para los exámenes GATE del próximo año. Habrá más
información en el otoño del 2014.
