Welcome to the 2022-23 school year!  We are excited to start, and welcome all the new students into the Roots Community. Attached you will find the calendar and bell schedule for the year, and the lunch menu for the first month (which we do free of charge for all Roots students).  The first day of school is August 8th from 8:30am-12:00pm for all new students, and August 9th will begin the normal bell schedule for all students!
​

Registration is
Wednesday, July 27th from 2-6pm 
and 
Thursday, July 28th from 7am-1pm

Summerfest & 4-H Livestock SHow
Registration is for every Roots student-new and returning. This year we are doing it a little differently and need all students to come in and take a short pre-assessment for Math and English so we know how to best support you in those classes! We need to have all students in person for registration.  Please plan on 45mins to an hour to complete this process. You will receive your trax pass, take your assessments, choose your classes, fill out the registration forms, and pay fees. 
We try to keep fees very minimal.  
$50 Activity Fee
$100 Instructional Fee
$35 Yearbook (Can be purchased at any time during the school year)
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns with the fee schedule. 
(Fee waiver attached below) 

NEW ROOTS STUDENTS: Don't forget a Transcript, Birth certificate, and Immunization Records!

ALL 2022-23 SENIORS : PLEASE SIGN UP FOR AN APPT WITH THE COUNSELOR HERE.

We will plan to do a make-up registration day on Tuesday, August 2nd for any of you who cannot attend the other days. If any of these days do not work please reach out so we can schedule a time for you to come in. Please reach out if you have further questions on this, or anything else.  We look forward to this year!

​WELCOME TO ROOTS HIGH SCHOOL

​A farm in the city is an ideal context for studying connections. A farm demonstrates the most basic relationship humans have to the land. Students experience the cycles of nature and discover the rewards of hard work and collaboration. They care for plants and animals that, in turn, provide their nourishment. They are involved in matters of life, birth, and death. They are responsible for the well- being of fellow creatures and develop motivation and responsibility through this relationship.

FARM
​BASED

Roots Charter High School is on a farm and strives to authenticate all the learning that takes place at the school through the farm as a laboratory. Individuals are often motivated by solving real-world problems to authentic tasks.​

AUTHENTIC LEARNING

What makes Roots High School unique is the hands-on, authentic and relevant learning experience offered at Roots. Studies suggest that student often leave school because they feel the learning is irrelevant to their lives.​

CREDIT
​RECOVERY

The best way to prepare students for college and life is by teaching them to accomplish difficult tasks. The farm is the perfect place to teach students about patience, hard work, rewards, consequences and joy.​
