This week we have started our Fox Squad, a special thank you to the family members who have visited and enjoyed time during recess.

This edition of our newsletter includes many opportunities for Fox Ridge Foxes to join clubs. These are wonderful opportunities for our kids to connect and extend their learning and relationships with one another and our staff. Take a look at the various clubs and information.

Below I have included a letter regarding our upcoming SEL survey for our students in grades 3-5.

We need your help! For everyone’s safety, please only use the crosswalk when walking to and from school during pick-up and drop-off times. Many parents have been walking across in the middle of the car line, which is very dangerous. Using the crosswalk helps keep all of our students, families, and staff safe. Thank you for modeling safe practices for our children!

• Drop-off line use: If you are driving and feel comfortable, please use the drop-off line instead of parking and walking your child in.

• Staying in your car: If you are in our drop-off or pick-up loop, please remain in your car. If you are waiting due to arriving at 3:20 or earlier for pickup, kindly turn off your engine—idling for five minutes or more creates unnecessary pollution.

• Crosswalk safety: If you choose to park and walk your child, please use the crosswalk. This helps with traffic flow and keeps everyone safe.

• Back meeting location: If your child is expected to meet you in the back because you’ve parked on the side street, please make sure they know this plan. Some confusion has occurred when students say they are car riders, as we then guide them to the front of the building.

Thank you for helping us make arrival and dismissal safe and smooth for everyone!
