Ross Round Up, Nov. 1, 2024

The Kuna Board of Trustees has canceled school on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, due to safety concerns. Some of our schools are polling places, and higher turnout is expected with the Presidential Election. West Ada and Boise school districts have also canceled school.

The Reed Elementary CAST students are busy this year with student-led community service projects. These students want to give back to their community while helping others and keeping clean, reusable winter gear out of the landfills.

Please donate your clean and reusable winter weather gear (jackets, snow pants, boots, etc) at any of the Kuna School District Elementary Schools from October 30-November 8. Then come back to Reed Elementary on November 13, from 4-7 to choose items that fit your children's needs this winter.

Reed Elementary would like to thank Latte Da and Les Schwab for placing donation bins in their businesses to help collect donations. The CAST students can not wait to see this community service project in action. Please email Mrs. Holmes at Reed Elementary at mpholmes@kunaschools.org if you have any questions. 

Ross is pretty special! We are an AVID Nationwide Demonstration School, one of only a few in the nation.

What does it mean to be an AVID school? As an AVID school, we believe that all students can be prepared for their next level of learning. AVID stands for Advancement via Individual Determination, which means we support students in moving up through their own hard work. We believe that every student can learn at high levels (grade level or higher) and we use all kinds of strategies to help students become their best learning selves and be prepared for their future--middle school and beyond!

Thanks to those who have signed up to be involved in one of many ways:

Sign up in ParentSquare using the "Sign Up" links.

Ross is a learning zone. We want to have uninterrupted instruction time and we want kids to be able to play with each other.

For that reason, we have any students with cell phones leave them in their backpacks during the school day (except for medical uses). Smart watches can be used as watches or tools (example: the calculator function), but not as a cell phone (example: texting).

Please help us protect instruction and social interaction time for our Rossome kids!
