A message from our Counselor, Ms. London:

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. We will be focusing on Anti-Bullying education

and messaging in our school. The purpose of this is to bring awareness of, and attention to, the

bullying that exists in schools across our nation.

We will be doing this through various activities such as social emotional learning lessons,

Anti-Bullying Spirit Week, Blue Shirt Day (October 7, 2024) and UNITY Day (October 16, 2024)

by wearing ORANGE and other activities that will strengthen student’s understanding of why it

is important to be an upstander, not a bystander, and that when they see something, they

should say something!

The Lit Limo is back on Schedule! Check out the Lit Limo to get some books on Fridays.

3:00 @ Clark Springs

3:30 @ Randolph Community center

New this year, we will be hosting a regional Middle School Night for all of the Elementary schools that feed into Albert Hill Middle and Dogwood Middle. If you have a 5th grader, please plan on attending so you can be informed of your middle school options. ALL are of course welcome!

You should have received one of these fliers in your student's backpack recently... Save it, hang it, scan it! The code links to additional details and more upcoming events, which are updated regularly. Also linked here: https://linktr.ee/williamfoxelementarypta.

MP1 Report Cards will be sent home on Nov. 11. Elementary Conference time has been scheduled for Thursday, November 14 from 3:30-5:30. Unfortunately, this is not enough time to meet with every caregiver. Teachers will be prioritizing meeting with caregivers of students who are below grade level, or with behavior challenges. Teachers will reach out to caregivers with whom they need to meet. Thank you for partnering with us and making the time to meet with your child's teacher if they are having some challenges.

Let's raise some dough! Treat your friends to a dozen (or more) Krispy Kreme donuts and 50% of your purchase will be donated back to our Fox PTA. Simply buy online via our link, visit your local store & redeem using your code. Now until Nov. 3, donuts here: grouprai.se/krispykreme44801sa. Thank you!

A hard copy will came home with your students on the first day of school in the "First Day Packet"! Please sign and return the last page of the Handbook!

Principal Jacobs and AP Crutchfield had the opportunity to walk the inside of the building--here are a few photos---some SNEAK PEAKS of the work on the inside!

We are still on track to be back in the Hanover Building for the 2025-26 school year!

Every Fox student has HOMEWORK EVERY day. ALL students should read or be read to for 20 minutes daily! If you need some books to read at home, let your child's teacher, our school counselor, CIS worker know. We are HAPPY to have your child pick out some books to take home. Also, check out and use the "Reading Library" that is located at the front of the school.

Research shows that READING EVERY EVENING is the one thing that WILL SET YOUR CHILD UP FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS.

3rd, 4th, 5th grade students will have up to an additional 30 minutes of homework as well (math practice, comprehension practice, studying etc). Teachers/grade levels will communicate homework to their class.

Your $10+ donation and volunteer support make it possible for us to have valuable student programs, teacher appreciation, and community events like the Fall Festival. Join here: Thank you!

You will find lots of information on the PTA's closed facebook group. Search for the group and ask to join! Stay in the loop of what is going on at school!

Have you looked at our school website? It has a lot of up to date information! Have you joined our PTA facebook page?
