Greeting Ross Families:
Welcome to Ross Elementary, a proud Leader in Me school! Leader in Me (LiM) is an evidence-based, comprehensive school-improvement model—developed in partnership with educators and Franklin Covey—that equips students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in a global community.
Our school has chosen to operate through a uniquely different lens. Leader in Me is about empowering your child to reach their full potential while ultimately finding their voice. Our Ross staff has made five core commitments to your child. We call these our Core Paradigms. In these paradigms you will find the belief and way we view all students. At this school we believe that:
• Everyone is a leader.
• Everyone has genius.
• Change starts with me.
• We empower students to lead their own learning.
• Educators and families partner to develop the whole person.
Not only do these paradigms apply to your student, they apply to all of us! Leader in Me provides our school with the vision and language to lead the school in a way that addresses all areas of development. As each child discovers and develops their unique gifts and talents, they are given opportunities to lead. As leaders, they become active, engaged partners in their own education, and their self-confidence, responsibility, and initiative grows. The children quickly understand the benefits of different gifts and talents; they learn to listen to new ideas, work together to achieve results, and motivate one another to be the best.
Ross staff and I, are here to assure best possible education for your child.
If you have any questions or suggestions to always improve, please contact through our school office at (858) 800-5800 or email, [email protected].
In partnership,
Rosemary Cruz
