"This is your Roosevelt Family."
With those words, Roosevelt Middle School Principal Dr. Maurice Thomas welcomed parents to the first parent meeting for the new school that will open next August.
Dr. Thomas began with the question, "How did we get here?" He traced the history of the new school project to the 2022 bond referendum to build a new high school, which will provide the high school capacity needed to convert the current Ninth Grade Campus to Roosevelt Middle School.
He discussed construction projects that have already been completed to make this possible, including the relocation and separation of the car rider line and the addition of a new fine arts wing on the building. Additional improvements are scheduled for the site, including signage and a refresh of the hallways, gym and cafeteria.
He noted that everyone will be new the building in the fall. As a result, orientations will be held for students at all grade levels, not just rising sixth graders.
Dr. Thomas was joined by Assistant Principals MaryBeth Willey and Kevin Granger.
Dr. Thomas encouraged families to visit the school's new website and follow them on social media to keep up-to-date on developing information about the school. He noted that additional staff members would be announced soon and that a first PTO meeting would be scheduled after Thanksgiving break.

We apologize but the internet and all phones are down at schools across the Clover School District due to an AT&T outage. This means that schools and the Transportation Department are unable to receive parent phone calls at this time.
CSD parents and guardians will receive a text message and email on Wednesday, July 30, from Apptegy, the district's communication tool provider.
This invitation is not spam or junk mail! It will direct you to download the CSD mobile app and create a Rooms account to support communication between you and your child's teacher(s).
Secondary parents who created accounts last winter do not need to take any additional action. The primary aim of this distribution is to reach all elementary parents and secondary parents who have not yet set up accounts.

Dr. Maurice Thomas has been appointed to become the first principal of Roosevelt Middle School.
Thomas has served as the principal of Crowders Creek Elementary since 2022. He spent three years as the assistant principal of Bethel Elementary before moving to Crowders Creek. Thomas began his educational career in 2013 as a school counselor at Southwest Middle School, a Title I school in Gastonia. Thomas earned a Bachelor of Art in mass communication from Winthrop University, a Master’s degree in School Counseling from Winthrop, and a Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership from Gardner Webb University. “Dr. Thomas is energetic, data-driven, and collaborative in his leadership style,” according to Superintendent, Dr. Sheila Quinn. “He brings middle level experience as both a counselor and coach to Roosevelt and understands the need to make school engaging for middle school students.”
“I am excited about the opportunity to return to my middle school roots and welcome the Roosevelt Tigers to the Clover School District. Working in this community has been a rewarding experience over the past six years, and I look forward to serving in this new role,” Thomas said.
Clover School District will open on a one-hour delay, tomorrow, Thursday, January 23, 2025. While roads are relatively clear at this time, we believe the delay will improve visibility where any icy patches are concerned.
Start times for tomorrow will be as follows:
Elementary Schools–8:35 a.m.
Middle Schools–9:00 a.m.
High Schools–10:00 a.m.
We encourage all families to take necessary safety precautions when traveling to school tomorrow.
Due to frigid temperatures and worsening weather conditions especially on our side roads, all CSD schools and offices will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22. CSD will conduct an E-Learning Day on Monday, February 17, to make up for tomorrow’s closure. Details about the E-Learning Day will be forthcoming, but please know that we are aware that families may have made plans for intercession. Stay safe and warm and enjoy your snow day.
Out of an abundance of caution, Clover School District (CSD) has canceled all afternoon and evening activities on our campuses beginning at 5 p.m. today. Our community is under a winter weather advisory from 4 p.m. today through 9 a.m. tomorrow.
CSD will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22. This delay will allow our staff to evaluate conditions in the morning to determine whether we can open safely or whether it will be necessary to cancel school and plan for an inclement weather make-up day on Monday, February 17.
Clover School District (CSD) will transition to asynchronous E-Learning on Friday, January 10, 2025, to ensure the safety of students and staff as Winter Storm Cora approaches our area. Parents will receive direct information from their school on the details around the eLearning Day.
An Asynchronous E-Learning Day means that students will not log on for live instruction from their teachers. Instead, students will complete assignments posted to Canvas (the district’s online learning management system) or provided in paper packets for our youngest learners. The asynchronous format provides families with the greatest flexibility in how and when their students complete the assignments because students are not required to be online at any specific time. Staff will be available for office hours between 8:00 am - 11:30 am should your child need support locating or completing the assignments .
Students have up to five days from Friday, January 10, to complete their work in order to be counted present for the missed day of school. All work should be completed and turned in by Friday, January 17, 2025.
All athletic events have been cancelled for both Friday, January 10, and Saturday, January 11. Details about when these events will be rescheduled will be shared shortly.
Clover School District (CSD) is currently monitoring weather conditions as Winter Storm Cora approaches our area.
We anticipate announcing any impact to our operating status for Friday, January 10, following the National Weather Service briefing at noon today.
Currently, all CSD schools and buildings, excluding the District Office, are experiencing a phone and internet outage.

See you out there!!!
Parents who indicated that their children needed bus service when they registered their children for the 2024-2025 school year should have received emails earlier today with their children's bus route and schedule information.
