Everyone belongs! At Ross, every family, every teacher, and every staff member is a valued member of the Ross PTA. Instead of an annual membership drive, every fall we invite all members of our community to Fall for Ross.

We encourage families to consider a financial donation of $50/month ($600 annually) to help the PTA maintain its strong programs and investments in school operating costs. We understand this isn’t possible for every family. Please give as you’re able. Small or large, every donation is important and contributes to improving the learning environment for every student at Ross.

What does the Ross PTA Do?

Hosts events to build community
Supports Ross teachers and staff
Raises significant funds to offset school operating costs and non-personnel expenses. This enables Principal Searl to increase Ross staffing beyond the school's DCPS budget allocation.

Our engaged school community is an essential part of what makes the Ross environment such a welcoming, supportive place for our children to learn and grow.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 this fall and to connect with every Ross family. Please join us!

And, the class with the highest percentage of participation will win an extra recess and popsicle party!

We will periodically update the family participation table below with each family who donates, regardless of the amount, so feel free to revisit this page and see how your class(es) are doing. Be sure to report your class(es) with your donation so it is counted! Families donating with more than one Ross-enrolled child we be counted as donating to all children's classes.
