PTA Newsletter

We have a new nomination for the open role of VP Fundraising on the PTA Executive Board - Robert Behrendt. Please vote here and help fill out our PTA Executive Board for the 2022-23 school year!

It's that time of year again! Ross families are asked to contribute $100/student to cover the cost of school supplies for the coming year. You can place your order here!

The PTA provides collected funds to Ross teachers to purchase what they need for their students and classrooms. This saves parents a trip to the store and ensures equity among students.

Please order your children's school supply packages by August 19th! In your order, you can also donate additional funds to help support families who aren't able to cover the full amount.

The D.C. State Board of Education (SBOE) invites all residents—students, parents, guardians, and community members—to fill out a brief survey sharing their experiences with the current education system in D.C. as they consider recommendations for what education governance should look like for D.C. residents.

Submit responses no later than Friday, July 30 at 5 p.m. If you have any questions, please reach out to the State Board at Darren.Fleischer@dc.gov.

Please use the following links to start the Education Governance Survey:

In order to chaperone class field trips, you must complete the DCPS volunteer clearance process. We encourage all parents/guardians to obtain volunteer clearance before school starts, so you can help with class field trips.

The mission of the Ross PTA is to support the education of all Ross students, to support Ross faculty and staff, to foster relationships among parents, staff and community members, and to assist faculty and staff to provide a safe and nurturing environment where all students, families, and faculty can thrive and grow.
