Curriculum Night

Thank you to all of our families who were able to attend our Curriculum Night. It was awesome seeing so many faces eager to learn about how they can help their child(ren) at school and home. I understand that not all could attend due to various reasons. Therefore, I am including the slideshow I used with families. Please take a moment to review the presentation and reach out if you have any questions. We hope you had an amazing weekend and we will see everyone on Monday.

Technology Usage at Home Reminder

Educators are increasingly seeing how at-home technology habits directly influence a student's classroom experience. When screen time lacks clear boundaries at home, everyday learning activities struggle to compete, often leading students to report feeling "bored", which frequently just signals a craving for digital stimulation. While technology offers convenience for busy families, including my family, establishing a healthy screen balance at home helps students arrive focused, calm, and ready to engage in learning at school. Partnering together to set these daily limits gives kids the solid foundation they need to make their school day much smoother and set them up for lasting academic success.

City2 Soccer Event Reminder

Last year's event was a HUGE success and we'd love to repeat that once again. Over 140 members from the Ross commUNITY attended the City2 game and all had an absolute blast. We even received our very own personalized jersey! We'd love to repeat the same level of success. CLICK HERE to purchase tickets for this very fun family event.
