Become a Volunteer Chaperone!
In order to have these after-school enrichment classes onsite at Roosevelt, we need a volunteer chaperone to be present during the time of the class. They are there to help ensure the safety of our students. Chaperones are welcome to participate in the class but are NOT required to. Do you have a little one at home? Bring them with you! They can be your co-chaperone!
