Ross Round Up--Nov. 22, 2024

Students have been working hard to increase their Math skills! We want to see every student grow more than 1 year in their Math skills this year, and they are on track for that.

Together, students have completed over 4,000 I-Ready lessons this year!

Our top students for lessons completed in the last month are:

Also, 120 students (about half of Ross students) completed their I-Ready Punch Cards in the last month and had Pizza with the Principal during afternoon recess!

We're so proud of how hard students are working to grow their brains. They will be ready for middle school and their future lives, which is what we want for them.

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:

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!
