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

A Principal's Toast to a Good Student: March 15, 2024

Congratulations to the following students for being selected by their teachers for the 7th principal toast to a good student! I am so proud of these students for having such outstanding traits that have made them stand out from their peers!

Kindergarten: Mrs. Jarnot chose William Volkel. She said William is very kind and always includes classmates when they ask to play with him. William doesn’t let the little things bother him and just goes with the flow. He is also a smart cookie, and it’s becoming quite a good reader! Enjoy your toast, William!

1st grade: Mrs. Kabosky and Mrs. Paczewski chose Elaina Lee for this week's principal toast. They said When Elaina stepped into our classroom she immediately held out her hand to introduce herself to Emilia. The other boys and girls gathered around and Elaina was just as excited to meet and greet them. She had a huge smile on her face. Elaina is polite, friendly, smart, and a hard worker. She is a great asset to our Ross family, and she is going to fit right in. Welcome, and enjoy your toast with Mr. Nonnenberg!

2nd grade: Mrs. Scouton chose Alexis Vanderlick. She said this girl amazes her every day. She has come leaps and bounds from the beginning of the school year in so many ways. She may not always like what I tell her to do, but she will listen to explanations and has learned to understand my reasoning for certain rules. She never hesitates to apologize when necessary. She loves to read, so you will often catch her caught up in a book. She will often ask for a hug at least once a day. This shows that we have formed a great relationship over the last six months. She is also great among her peers - always willing to help out and include everyone. Mrs. Scouton is so proud of her, and she is excited to see her grow. Keep marching to your drum, Alexis!

3rd grade: Mrs. Frey and Mrs. Grey chose Sofia Teixeira. They said Sofia's academic achievements this school year are so impressive. She is such a hard working student. She goes above and beyond on all of her class assignments and tests. Sofia is always checking and double checking her work. She is such a spectacular listener and is always on the ball! She is a great friend and is always there when anyone needs a helping hand. Some people wouldn't know it because she can be quiet and shy, but Sofia is hilarious! Her personality shines! Keep shining, Sofia!

4th grade: Mrs. Albee chose Camryn Ferkle. She said in the morning, if Mrs. Albee pulls into the parking lot at the same time as Mrs. Ferkle, Caeryn comes to her car to greet her with a smile. Mrs. Albee loves her silly sense of humor. She puts Mrs. Albee in a good mood. On Wednesday, she was spot on in math. Camryn gives Mrs. Albee the answers, following along, and paying attention. She studies hard and gets great grades. Camryn gets along with everyone. Her positive energy fills the room. She is very passionate about swim and Taylor Swift. Love it!

5th grade: Mrs. Stanley and Mrs. Miller chose Carson Guenthner. They said Carson is another one of our Ross rock stars! He is very dedicated to his education, his teachers, and to helping his classmates. Carson is one of our early finishers who is always looking for enrichment opportunities and looking out for his classmates who may need a little extra help. Carson does not only perform well academically, he is also quite the singer and is dedicated to learning how to play the trumpet. He is a student that follows our mission daily by being the best version of himself and inspiring others to do the same. Way to go, Carson! We are so proud of you!

6th grade: Mrs. Lehman and Mrs. Chopyak chose Bella Cox. They said Bella Cox is super smart and such a good student who goes above and beyond. She is very responsible and always willing to help out her teachers when they need her to run an errand. She listens closely to all the instruction and lessons in class. Bella doesn’t miss a beat! She is also very caring and willing to help other students. She is an awesome tutor to some children in kindergarten. We can tell that she really enjoys working with younger students. It is so obvious from the smile on her face every time we meet with them. Bella definitely has what it takes, and we are so proud of her.

Again, congratulations to all the winners!
