Ross Round Up
Engage. Empower. Educate. Every Day.
February 24, 2023
Hi families!
Next Friday is the end of Trimester 2. This year is flying by! One thing you'd see if you tour our school in every classroom is students setting goals and monitoring their progress towards those goals. Kids know how they're growing in Reading, Writing, and Math, and it's exciting that they're so engaged. Part of our AVID program at Ross is to help students take ownership of their learning.
Our AVID Community Event--complete with breakfast--is coming up on April 27 from 7:45-8:45am. Students will have a chance to apply to be a speaker at the event, sharing how they use collaboration, goal setting, etc. to improve their learning. We're helping them practice by asking them to explain their process as they learn. I've been capturing some videos of kids doing that. Check out this one by Skylynn, a 4th grader. Our AVID Community Event is going to be a fun event where kids will be front and center!
Another chance to see our students front and center is at the Kiwanis Spaghetti Feed where our 5th grade CAST students have the opportunity to be servers. This event is on March 4 from 5:00-7:00pm. Come and support them and feed your family at this great community event at Kuna High School that all are invited to. It's $10 for an individual ticket and $40 for a family of up to 5. It's right before the HOSA-sponsored Daddy-Daughter Dance, so if you're going that, consider adding dinner to your date before the dance--all daughters on Daddy dates will get a free tiara! See the flier below for details.
Finally, on Monday night from 5:00-8:00pm is the 5th-12th grade College and Career Night at Kuna High School. Drop in anytime between those hours. Lots of prizes and chances to do fun activities together. Send me a picture of you at the event to rsemedia@gmail.com for a special prize on Tuesday at school.
Love,
Principal Tripp
