Go ice skating, board games or gaming systems, read a book with your child, go to the movies, or complete a craft.
Smoke Detectors work?
This information was recently shared with RCSD Staff, and we just wanted to let everyone know that the American Red Cross (and Rossville Fire Department) has a nationwide program for ANYONE living in the United States that provides FREE LITHIUM SMOKE DETECTORS and FREE INSTALLATION. I just set up my install, and so can you by calling the American Red Cross at 765-742-6975.
HUGE Thanks!
Thank you to the many families and organizations for helping once again this year with the Rossville Christmas Angel program! We had 40 families come to our annual Bountiful Food Harvest on November 8th. Families received food from our food drive, clothes, and 32 families signed up for Christmas Angel help. I know these families are grateful beyond measure, so thank you Rossville Community!!!

ISTEP+ data is just one snapshot of student performance and should be viewed as such. Students and staff work hard each day on a variety of lessons and checks for understanding are a constant. Rossville Elementary earned a B for the 2015-2016 school year. We are very proud of our students’ efforts, but we also know we can improve. If you have any questions regarding school scores, please call Mr. Dennison at 379-2119 ext. 310. Thank you for helping us be GREAT each day!
