Franklin D. Roosevelt School

Franklin D. Roosevelt educators partner with families and the community to empower all our children to reach their full potential. Our safe, supportive, and rigorous environment promotes academic achievement through inquiry-based learning, social responsibility, and emotional resilience.

Our curious and resilient Panthers focus on developing P.R.I.D.E.–Personal Responsibility In Delivering Excellence.

As part of the Building Brighter Futures plan, we will welcome students and staff from Stephanie Tubbs Jones School next school year.

More students in a building means better opportunities for students beyond the basics of art, music, physical education,  plus expanded team sports and extracurricular clubs.

In addition, the name Stephanie Tubbs Jones will endure as the new name for the FDR building, in honor of the late congresswoman from Glenville.
