The Roosevelt School community has as its mission, the establishment of a comprehensive foundation which enables all students to achieve their maximum potential as responsible individuals and lifelong learners.

• The River Edge School District expects to achieve its educational objectives by providing:

• High expectations of attainable, individual achievement where students with diverse learning styles are confident in their ability to learn from their mistakes and experience success

• A caring, safe, positive environment promoting self esteem, self respect and consequently respect for others

• A well-equipped physical environment in which teachers and students are provided with the materials necessary to facilitate learning

• A school culture that supports and encourages staff pursuit of personal and professional growth. One which encourages a harmonious and collegial atmosphere permitting teachers to reflect upon the effectiveness of their efforts

• Recognition that we both mirror and influence the community around us as we forge a cooperative link between school, home and neighborhood

• Realization of the necessity for respect for cultural diversity

• Acceptance of the obligation to support moral and civic education with the understanding that every child is a potential citizen of a global society

• To this end we emphasize democratic ideals, courtesy and compassion and we expect each child to learn to take responsibility for his/her actions

• Agreement by all members of the school community that quality education is a lifelong process involving physical, mental, emotional and social development
