DISTRICT MISSION

 

            The Kuna School District is committed to teach each student to become a lifelong learner and a contributing, responsible citizen.

 

KEEPING YOU INFORMED

 

This school performance report is a summary of how your child's school and its students are performing on tests required by the state.  Also included is important information about our staff, enrollment, and learning environment.  This report alone will not tell the whole story about Ross Elementary School.  We encourage you to visit our school and take an active role in your child's learning.

 

HOW ARE WE IMPROVING  

The Ross Elementary staff is firmly committed to achieving the following vision:

All children will learn to read and achieve their full potential through quality instruction driven by a strong curriculum, adequate resources, meaningful assessments, and the support of the community. 

Our goal is that at least 65% of students in each grade will achieve at or above grade level on the spring 2003 Idaho Reading Indicator and at least 75% on the spring 2005 assessment.  We believe that developing strong reading skills in the primary grades is critical to student performance.  We intend to constantly seek improvement.

Many factors, such as how often a child attends school, moving frequently, and English language experience, influence school achievement.  Measuring these characteristics helps us understand our students' needs.
