Navigating the Internet

We invite parents to keep informed about the latest Roosevelt news by utilizing all of Roosevelt's resources. But we understand that not everyone has access to computers and/or the computer skills necessary to navigate the internet. Thus this page is dedicated to connecting Roosevelt High School Parents with resources in Minneapolis and Saint Paul that can make accessing the internet easier than ever before.
