Good Morning Roadrunner Families,

It has been a great first week. Thank you so much for your patience as we navigate through the city road construction.

To support added safety and smoother traffic, the city has placed No Parking signs on the west side of Moore St. This will allow for a safer drive and will support our many school busses that drive down that road.  Please see the attached pictures.

Thank you for your continued patience and support. We have an amazing Roadrunner community.

I am so excited to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year!

The first day of school is Tuesday, August 26, 2025. We can't wait to see you! Our amazing staff is busy getting things ready for an awesome school year. We can't wait to welcome all of our new Roadrunner families and welcome back all of our returning students and families. Please be aware that we are beginning the school year with city road construction directly in front of our school. Currier street and the surrounding sidewalks are under construction. It will be beautiful when they complete the project! Please read this important document describing how to get to Roosevelt-McGrath during the construction process.
