Thank you for your interest in Rooftop Alternative School!

​

Our tours are designed to give you a real feel for the school. We hope you’ll get a sense of what it’s like to be a child in our classrooms, halls, yards, and programs, and whether Rooftop is a good fit for your family.

 

Our school has two campuses: Twin Peaks, which houses grades TK through 4, and Mayeda for grades 5 through 8. All tours will begin with an information session on the Twin Peaks campus. However, not all tours cover all levels. If you are interested in grades 5 through 8, please choose your date carefully.

​

We have tried to provide flexibility for working parents, making sure at least one Twin Peaks campus tour (grades K through 4), one Mayeda campus tour (grades 5 through 8), and one TK tour (located on the Twin Peaks campus) is available during the lunch hour.

​

Please read carefully to make sure the grade level you're touring will be included on the date you choose.

​

Maps and more detailed instructions are included below.
 

Tour Dates for 2024-2025 - To be determined

• Tours will take October 2024 through January 2025

  • Tours of the Twin Peaks campus (K-4th), should include the option to stay for Morning Circle

Please note that our tours are designed for adults only. Babies are okay, but please bring toddlers and preschoolers if you truly have not other option. We appreciate your cooperation.

​

All tours will begin with an information session on the Twin Peaks campus.

​

Twin Peaks camps tours will include:

• A brief information session and Q&A

• Smaller group tours led by current Rooftop parents that make sure you see:

  • One kinder classroom

  • One mid-level classroom (1st or 2nd grade)

  • One upper-level classroom (3rd or 4th grade)

  • Garden

  • Library

  • Sensory Motor room

  • Art closet (surprised you there, didn’t we?)
     

Please leave plenty of time to find parking (or consider taking the 37, 33, or 48 bus).​

​

Middle school: On two of these dates, families interested in learning more about grades 5 through 8 will attend the info session on the Twin Peaks campus and then walk (for about five minutes) with a Rooftop parent to meet their student tour guides on the Mayeda campus. That’s right, our middle school campus tours are student-led!  Children over the age of 9 may accompany their parents on these tours.

​

Note:  After tour season, we can’t accommodate individual tour requests due to the number of people who want to visit Rooftop School and the disruption tours cause to learning.

​​

Please remember we have two campuses. Maps for both schools are below.

​

Twin Peaks Campus (grades Pre-K-4)

3. a set of stairs running down from Burnett Ave. through a wooded area.

 

Tour groups will meet in the Multipurpose Room (MPR) that is on the second floor of the main school building.
