Ross Round Up

Engage. Empower. Educate. Every Day.

January 20, 2023

This week we're especially grateful for our parent community.


We had parents send in $5 gift cards for our teacher appreciation Wednesdays once a month. How that works is when we have our early-release Wednesday staff meetings, teachers gather to work together to look at student data and plan learning experiences. As part of that meeting, teachers write each other anonymous notes to highlight positive things they've noticed in each other. We put all those notes in a bucket and draw out 5 winners, who get to choose gift cards donated by you. The rest of the notes are delivered to teachers.


How can you help? Send $5 gift cards from anywhere in town to school and we'll get them to teachers to show them your love and appreciation. Teachers love coffee, milkshakes, and french fries.


This week, we also had Black Canyon Gourmet Popcorn donate some delicious flavored popcorn to our staff. We've enjoyed snacking on that this week!


We want you to know that we appreciate the love you share with us. We hope you know we pass that love on to your children every day.


Love,


Principal Tripp

Excusing Students from School

Parents, please remember to call the school in the morning at 208-922-1011 and let us know when your student will be absent. It helps us to know that they're OK when they're missing from school.

Pick Up Line Safety

Please make sure to get in the pick up line to pick up your student after school. That allows us to make sure that students are going home with parent-approved people. Thank you!
