Partnership
A strong partnership is key to the success of all stakeholders at Ross (parents, students, staff, community, etc). It was wonderful to see so many families at Ross this week meeting with our amazing teachers during Parent/Teacher conferences! As a Ross staff, we are very thankful for all of you that support the great work that we are doing as a Ross commUNITY. We are especially thankful for our amazing PTO and the love they provide our staff. It takes all of us to work together to ensure the success of our children. Thank you for your partnership!

Behaviors
Typically during this time of year behaviors increase. We are seeing an uptick in some of leaders roasting others. Therefore, we kindly ask that you chat with your child(ren) about the importance of being kind with one another... especially as it is one of our core values. During our Rise and Shine Assembly on Monday I will also be reviewing our core values with our students. Thank you for your partnership.
Parkway Parent Survey
We’re eager to gather your thoughts on how we’re supporting your child. Please complete the Parkway Parent/Guardian Survey here. Your feedback will help us identify ways to enhance the learning experience for every student and family. Students have received a similar, optional survey.
The survey is anonymous, so feel free to share openly—your responses are confidential. Parkway will share the results once they're in so you can see how your feedback can help ensure student success.
Purple Envelope
PTO's Purple Envelope Campaign will be coming home in backpacks soon! As always, we welcome donations all year round by simply going to the PTO website under Contribute to PTO and scanning the QR code! ALL money raised goes directly back to Ross in a variety of ways.
