Good Morning Rossmoor Families!

Rossmoor’s House Meeting #1 Video

 At Rossmoor Elementary, students were excited to gather in their first house meeting of the year.  They eagerly listened to what they will be doing for PEACE Week this week.  We watched a video on the Power of Saying Hello and including others on campus to ensure PEACE at Rossmoor!   They listened to a read aloud of the book The Invisible Boy provided by our Knight Leadership Council to help understand that power of small acts of kindness can help others feel included.   They loved getting to know others by asking questions and finding what they had in common with their big and little buddies.

The House Meeting ended with me getting silly stringed…Rossmoor Knights surpassed their goal of getting 800 PTA Memberships with an ending of 1,056 Memberships in all!  Great job Knights!

Mark your calendars for Next Week!

Rossmoor’s School Site Council

Let Mrs. Coltey know if interested by Wednesday, September 21st 

I am searching for a few parents that are looking for an opportunity to get involved at Rossmoor Elementary.  The School Site Council is an excellent option!

The Rossmoor Elementary School Site Council (SSC) collaborates to develop and implement Rossmoor’s Academic Plan. This plan highlights the specific goals and objectives in the following areas: school safety, parent involvement, instructional practice, student equity, and academic achievement.

The SSC consists of five parent members and school staff members. This year there are two parent vacancies that need to be filled.  In general, three to four meetings are held during the school year right after school.  Our first meeting will be held on Thursday, September 29th at 2:30pm at Rossmoor Elementary.  Please make sure you are available to meet that date if you send interest.

If you are a Rossmoor Elementary parent and are interested in having an active voice in the planning of school goals and objectives, please email Mrs. Coltey by Wednesday, September 21st at 4:00pm. 
Please email the following to acoltey@losal.org :
 

• Your Name 
• Grade(s) your children are in 
• Short statement of why you are interested in serving on the SSC (No more than 4 sentences) 

Parents who are elected to the council serve a two-year term. This year's incoming representatives will serve on the SSC for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years.  If we have multiple people interested in serving, an electronic ballot will be sent out to all Rossmoor families the following week.

Make it a Great Week Knights,

Mrs. Coltey

This week’s PTA/FOR (Friends of Rossmoor) Volunteer of the Week is Lindsay Cunningham!

Lindsay is mom to Rossmoor Knight Cam (1st grade) and future Knight, Cody!

Lindsay serves on our PTA Executive Board as Recording Secretary. Lindsay did not hesitate in jumping in and fulfilling the role of Recording Secretary. She is responsible for taking minutes at all PTA meetings, co-signs formal papers, handles PTA correspondence as directed, and maintains PTA records. Thank you Lindsay for fulfilling this huge role!

When Lindsay isn’t busy at Rossmoor Elementary you can find her at just about any sports field with her active boys, watching football, or working magic behind her camera by capturing beautiful photos of families.

Lindsay, we are so grateful to have you and your family as part of the Rossmoor community! We appreciate all that you do for our Knights and Rossmoor PTA. Thank you for all that you do!
