MLO Resolution Extension

At the August 19th Board of Education meeting, the resolution to ask voters to extend the 2020 Mill Levy Override (MLO) passed by a 4-1 vote. This measure will appear on the November ballot and would continue existing funding without imposing a new tax. If approved by voters, these funds will continue to help 5J 

  • retain and attract high-quality staff, 
  • provide additional safety, security, and mental health personnel, 
  • expand authentic career exploration and preparation programs, and 
  • maintain early childhood programming.

Teacher Learning Time

Our 5J elementary educators came back together after summer break, building belonging within and across schools, collaborating across specialty areas and grade levels, and exploring new literacy resources to help every student grow.

Thank you to The Weld Trust for investing in our 5J students and educators. This partnership, which is bringing research-informed literacy materials into our classrooms to complement the expertise of our staff, is going to have a powerful impact.

Welcome to 5J

On August 6th and 7th, we welcomed educators new to 5J. We are thankful to this cohort of nearly 40 educators for choosing 5J and making us better. The two day events started with our tradition of the red carpet welcome and bus tour of all our schools. During this academy, educators shared their anticipation for the year, learned about available instructional tools, explored high impact strategies for student learning, and dug into curricular materials.

Students creating at Camp Invention 2026
Camp Invention 2026

This week, 74 students entering grades 1-5 are exploring creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on STEM learning through Camp Invention at Roosevelt Middle School. The camp brings together students from Weld RE-5J, Eaton, and Windsor to collaborate, create, and tackle exciting challenges in engineering, science, invention, and entrepreneurship.

Made possible through the generous support of The Weld Trust, Camp Invention is offered at no cost to families and is facilitated by a partnership between Weld RE-5J educators and Roosevelt High School Work-Based Learning interns. Throughout the week, students are building confidence, strengthening OuR Graduate characteristics, and learning that innovation often requires perseverance, creativity, and the willingness to try again.

Five Years of Building Futures Together

Spaces that Inspire. Learning that Lasts.

For the past five years, Weld RE-5J has worked hand-in-hand with our community to create environments where every learner—and every educator—feels a deep sense of belonging. With the support of the community and voters, the passing of the 2020 Bond allowed multiple capital projects and maintenance improvements to launch. These enhancements are not just about buildings; they are about opportunities for growth, passion, and preparing for the future. Together, we have ensured that our schools are safe, accessible, welcoming, and designed for collaboration and innovation. Every improvement reflects our shared commitment: to extend the life of our facilities, reduce costly repairs, and provide spaces that are developmentally appropriate, aesthetically pleasing, and ready for tomorrow. We are proud to celebrate that journey—and the community that made it possible.

Upcoming Events

Our kids are both at Roosevelt now, and have had a wonderful experience. The teachers care, the administration is wonderful, and the experience has been great. There are so many opportunities for a student to complete advanced placement courses, dual enrollment courses, or career education. Our kids will be ready for life after high school, whether that’s at a university, community college, or in the workforce. No one is overlooked or left behind at Roosevelt.
