Academic Support
For students needing additional support for their studies Roosevelt offers these options:
- We encourage students and families to communicate directly with their teachers if they find themselves struggling in a class. Teachers are the best resources for additional support and will often times work with students one-on-one when available. Teacher emails can be found under the staff link on the Roosevelt home page.
- SUN School afterschool tutoring offers tutoring for all students Monday-Thursday 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm. For more information contact Danielle DeMarco at (503) 916-5260 x71435 or ddemarco@pps.net.
