Parents are an integral part of the Ross Preparatory School community. As the most important educators in children’s lives, they lay the foundation for the character education we incorporate into our curriculum. The partnership between the prep school and our families is vital for student success and we are grateful for the valuable role parents play in our community.
Each fall on the Sunday afternoon prior to the first day of school parents of prep school students are invited to the school to meet the teachers and parents of their children’s classmates. Expectations and plans for the upcoming school year are reviewed with parents, who are later provided an opportunity to tour the classrooms.
