We are excited to announce the kickoff of our Fox Hill Fun Run fundraiser! Our goal is to raise $15,000 to enhance our school’s resources and provide our students with the best possible educational experience.

This year we are raising funds for school field trips. In order to keep our students motivated, our top class will win a pizza party, our top grade will get an extra recess, and the top 5 students will get to PIE a staff member in the face!!!!

We encourage all families to…

1️⃣ Sign up TODAY at MyBooster.com.

2️⃣ Share about our fundraiser with friends and family.

3️⃣ Donate if you are able.

Thank you for your support!

Parents are welcome to attend our Friendship Parties on Thursday, February 13th (3-3:45pm), but we ask you to RSVP below to reduce waiting in the family check-in lines that afternoon. Anyone parent/family member who does not RSVP ahead of time is still welcome to attend, but will have to check-in through the front office when you arrive at Fox Hill.

Just like with our fall parties, all parents must be in our Visitor Aware (security) system prior to the party. If you have visited our school for lunch or attended the fall party this school year, you should already be in our system. Simply RSVP and you'll be set! If you are not in our system, we recommend coming in prior to the party day to get your ID scanned.

If you'd like to take your child home with you after the party, you will be able to sign-out your child in the classroom and take them home from there. There will be no need to check-out in the office once you've signed them out in the classroom.

Please note that because of the adjusted schedule for this day, we will not be allowing lunch room visitors on Thursday, February 13th.

Please remind your child to dress warm for recess. Winter coats, hats, and gloves are recommended. Please remember to label all items. We try to return any items found in the lost and found that have names clearly written on them.

We kindly ask all parents to stay in their cars during car rider arrival and dismissal. This helps to keep the line moving. Kids can begin putting on coats and backpacks before arriving to the drop off location, so they are ready to hop out when it's their turn. Should your child need extra assistance getting buckled into the car at dismissal, please pull forward so we can continue our dismissal process. This is especially true in winter months to limit times our students and staff are waiting outside in colder weather.

If you or your family need resources (food, clothing, shelter, school supplies, therapy/counseling, vision/dental, or others), please contact our social worker, Meghan Shipley.
