The Beacon Community School Pathways at Roosevelt Middle School is centered around creating a supportive and inclusive environment for students and families. By offering a range of services and activities—such as after-school programs, before school programming, school-wide PBIS strategies, identity-based lunch clubs, and family heritage nights—Beacon fosters student engagement and academic support. The strategy emphasizes collaboration between the school, students, families, and community partners to meet the diverse needs of the student body. Through consistent communication, enrichment opportunities, and targeted interventions, Beacon works to enhance the overall well-being and development of students at Roosevelt.
