About OurSchool

Roosevelt School is the largest of the four elementary schools in Rahway and houses over 650 students. The school staff prides itself on providing a student-friendly, family oriented environment. The relationship of cooperation and mutual respect among parents, students and staff enables this environment to flourish. Many activities planned throughout the year nurture this sense of safety and well-being. Roosevelt’s instructional program focuses on the Core Curriculum Content Standards which are references to the appropriate standard. Written standards are then transferred into action within the classroom. Our teachers receive extensive in-service training in science, math, language arts literacy and technology which results in lessons being taught in an innovative and motivating style. Inquiry-based lessons combined with many opportunities for hand-on experiences are producing students who perform well. The school’s curricula are supported by an extensive and well planned technology program. All students in grades Pre-K through five have access to computers and the Internet in their classrooms. Everyday Math is designed to develop a variety of successful problem-solving strategies and techniques for students in all grades. The Language Arts Program, Trophies, is a research-based early literacy program that provides for the unique needs of a diverse classroom. Accelerated Reader, a computerized, managed reading program has resulted in over 20,000 books being read during the school year and is supported by parents through the PTA, With the support of a state grant, PBSIS (Positive Behavior Support in Schools) a new program to encourage and support positive behavior for students has begun. The “whole child” is considered at Roosevelt School with the academic program enhanced through a comprehensive physical educational and health program, vocal and instrumental music, art, and library programs. The positive learning environment at Roosevelt School is the result of dedicated and caring staff and administrators, motivated students, and supportive parents and guardians.
