Pittsburgh Roosevelt K-5

Roosevelt Elementary School, located in the Carrick neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a caring and connected school community where every child is known, valued, and supported. We proudly serve a diverse group of learners and work closely with families to help each student grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

At Roosevelt, we follow our B.E.A.R. expectations: Be Safe, Encouraging, Accountable, and Respectful. You’ll hear these words throughout our building—they guide how we treat one another and help us create a positive, supportive environment where students can do their best learning.

We are a Title I school and are committed to making sure all students have access to what they need to succeed. All students receive free breakfast and lunch, and we offer additional supports and opportunities throughout the school day. After school, students can participate in a free program through the Neighborhood Learning Alliance, where they can continue learning, explore interests, and build relationships in a fun and safe space.

We believe school should be a place where students feel proud of who they are. That’s why we celebrate our community through events like Black Men Read, Black History Night, Take a Father to School Day, and the All City Arts showcase. We also host our own school-based art show, where students have the opportunity to display their creativity and share their work with families.

Student voice and leadership are important to us. Our Student Envoys help represent Roosevelt by modeling positive behavior, welcoming guests, and reminding us all to “stay on your strong side.”

At Roosevelt, we know that strong partnerships with families make a difference. We are proud of our students, our staff, and our community—and we look forward to learning and growing together.
