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.
OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY 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.
