October 23, 2017

Learning Celebrations: End of First Advisory
Thursday is a big day! We can’t wait to welcome parents/caregivers to our first Learning Celebration of the school year. Celebrations begin at 9:00am in your child’s classroom. Thursday is the last day of the First Advisory. Friday is a Records Day for teachers to work on report cards. Remember to sign-up for Parent-Teacher Conferences here.

College Awareness Day
The theme of Thursday’s Free Dress Day is College Awareness. Show off your school spirit by wearing your college sportswear.

The Spooktacular is this Thursday at 6pm!
The famous Ross Halloween Spooktacular fast approaching and will be held on Thursday, October 26th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Returning families know that the Spooktacular is one of the highlights of the school year for students and parents.  We now have all of the volunteers we need – thank you to everyone who is coming to help!  Check your email for insturctions from the event chair,  Katie Mastin.

If you are able, please plan to bring some food to share. Anything and everything is fine, but for planning purposes, it would be helpful to use the following list as a guide. If you have children in multiple grades, pick whichever you would prefer!

  • PreK 3/PreK 4: Drinks
  • Kindergarten-1st grade: Sides
  • 2rd grade-3rd grade: Main Dish
  • 4th grade-5th grade: Dessert
