All Means All

At Ross, we are so fortunate to be an elementary school that serves such a diverse commUNITY. As I have shared many times, that is what makes Ross unique compared to other schools within the area. I often have families that want to connect with me because they are seeking out Ross specifically due to our diversity and how we embrace all! As we enter the month of April... it is certainly a month with many activities going on. One that I would love to highlight is that April is Autism Awareness Month. I strongly encourage you to watch this very short video discussing the importance of embracing those who are around us, whether that be at Ross or out in the community. At Ross... all means all!

Support Our Students Wellbeing

We will administer social-emotional surveys to students in grades 3-5 and staff as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting student success. These surveys gather valuable student feedback on school safety, sense of belonging, relationships, and more.

Students will take the surveys between March 31 - April 11. They take about 15 minutes and are the same as those administered earlier this winter. They will allow us to identify areas of growth.
