Student Information

We are thrilled to welcome students to E.L. Ross Elementary School for the 2023-2024 school year! Please review some important information as we prepare for the new year!

Enrollment & Registration
If you haven't enrolled your child yet, please take a moment to do so as soon as possible. It's a simple process for both RETURNING and NEW students, and you can easily enroll on our enrollment page here. For returning students, please be aware that failure to enroll may result in withdrawal from school and the loss of their place in a class, and we definitely want to avoid that!

Middle and high school students will attend classes from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., while elementary school students will attend from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The doors will open at 7:45 a.m., giving everyone a smooth start to the day.
