Parent Pulse
Each quarter I plan to send out a very brief "Parent Pulse" survey. The purpose of the survey is to hear your celebrations of Ross while understanding we certainly have areas that we can improve upon. We will review the data as a leadership team so we can ensure we continue the great things that are highlighted by our community while making adjustments on things that could be improved. Thank you in advance for completing this very brief survey. You can complete the survey by CLICKING HERE.
Holiday Assistance
As we approach the holiday season, we understand that this can be a tough time for many families. Therefore, as a Ross CommUNITY, we want to help. If you are in need of holiday assistance, please CLICK HERE. Your information will only be shared with our amazing Ross counseling team.
REMINDER - Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be here before you know it. Conferences will take place the week of Nov. 11th. We are using the platform PTCfast to schedule your conference. The reason being is that this will allow you to see the times available for the specific teachers that you select and are wanting to meet with. If a time that does not work for you, please ensure that you reach out to the classroom teacher and they will certainly work with you to find a time that works best for all. The LINK is live. To schedule a conference, please CLICK HERE. Remember... our goal is 100% participation. The class with the most parent participation will receive an additional 20 minute recess covered by the Principals. Finally, if you have any issues with PTCfast... please reach out to the classroom teacher.
