A Message From the Principal
Dear Ross Elementary Families,
Welcome back! This year’s academic summer camp was a huge success, and I’m so excited to start the 2023–2024 school year! We are going to have another very successful year with several different activities planned to make this year once again a great one! I am excited to announce that classrooms are currently being prepared, and I'm most looking forward to seeing all the students, especially meeting our new incoming kindergarten class. I am happy to announce that we have made several curriculum changes to better meet the needs of our students! The kindergarten and new student orientation is set for August 29. This year we have a new PTO board that I am excited to work with so we can provide our students with the best experiences! Finally, if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Once again, get ready for another fantastic school year!
As always, remember that good people will do great things!
Take care, and stay strong!
Mr. Matt Nonnenberg

As a parent or caregiver, your child's academic achievement depends on your role in preparing your child for school. You can ensure your child's success in learning and life by getting involved early in your child's education. Communication between parent and child is crucial. Your connections to the school and his or her friends will help your child adjust to school. Here are some ideas to help prepare your child for the upcoming year:
- Let your child know what the schedule will be like. Include what time school begins and ends each day.
- Ask your child about his/her feelings -- both the excitement and the concerns for the first day of school.
- Visit the school with your child to see the classroom and meet his or her new teacher before school officially starts.
- Point out the positive aspects of starting school. It will be fun and he or she can make new friends.
- Let your child know that all kids are nervous about the first day of school.
- Leave a note in your child's lunchbox.
- Reassure your child that if any problems arise at school, you will be there to help resolve them.
- Try to have your child meet a classmate before the first day of school.
- Arrange for your child to walk to school or ride together on the bus with another child in the neighborhood.
- Find out about after-school activities that your child can join.
- Please be sure to update all contact information for your child.
