Hey current D. P. Yates Primary 2nd graders! We have a night just for you to come see Ross Elementary! We hope you will join us for a Preview Night on May 9 from 6-7 pm. 🚀
This weekend our students will be performing “Magic Treehouse: The Knight at Dawn KIDS!” They have been working so hard under the leadership of Ms. Vaught and Mrs. Alvarez and now it is almost showtime!
There are two shows - one Friday at 6:30 and one Saturday at 1:00 at Cleveland Middle School in the theatre. There are several events at CMS this weekend, so you may find more parking at the back of the school. At the entrance of the campus, turn left and follow that road around to the back.
Come show your support for our talented Rockets on the big stage! We hope to see you there!
This month, our Ross Rocket Service club is collecting broken, used, or unwanted crayons. We are partnering with Staples and The Crayon Initiative nonprofit to collect and recycle old crayons. The recycled crayons will be made especially for patients in children’s hospitals.

NEXT THURSDAY March 7 at 6:30, there will be a parent meeting at ROSS with CMS principal, Mr. Akiona, about the course selection process for middle school. This will be a great time to ask any questions you may have.
Finally, looking ahead to the end of the school year - on Thursday, May 2, our current 5th graders will go to CMS for Shadow a Raider day. Students will visit classes, eat lunch, and learn about middle school life. We will send permission slips home after spring break.
