A virtual meeting for new and returning families to say hello to Principal Searl and review school opening protocols. PTA Executive Board members will also be in attendance to share PTA information. Please review the Chancellor's August 18 communication for the most recent health and safety guidance for reopening.
Sneak a Peek Open House
We look forward to seeing everyone at our annual
“Sneak a Peek” Open House on Friday, August 27.
Student Last Name A-M: 2:25-2:55
Student Last Name: N-Z 3:00-3:30
We will admit visitors in a staggered fashion, one parent/caregiver per child. Each visitor will be screened by the Patient Care Techs according to the "Ask, Ask, Look" protocol and be required to wear a mask on campus. Plan to visit the classroom briefly, meet the teachers, and enjoy a popsicle playdate on the playground. There is not a formal teacher presentation.
School Supplies
Pay for school supplies here: https://rosspta.square.site/
Teachers purchase all needed supplies with funding from the Ross PTA. Instead of shopping for school supplies, we ask families to consider contributing to the School Supply Fund to help offset the cost of supplies. You may voluntarily contribute for your own children and also donate extra funds to cover costs for families with financial need.
Health and Medical
Immunizations must be up to date for your child to attend school.
Medications must be turned into the school nurse along with required medical documentation.
Please submit all required medical and dental forms as soon as they are completed.
