Our annual Booster Club Trunk or Treat will be on Friday, October 25th from 5:30-7:00. All are welcome to attend this FREE event. In order for it to be a success, we'd love for you and your family to sign up to host a decorated trunk. Please see the sign-up below!

Our Fall Parties and Costume parade will be on Thursday, October 31st at 2:40. Our whole school will start with a costume parade through the school that parents are welcome to attend. Immediately following the parade, classes will transition to their rooms for their fall party. Parents are welcome to attend that as well.

New changes to parties this year:

• All parents must be in our Visitor Aware (security) system prior to the party. In previous years, we used the Raptor System, but this year all schools transitioned over to Visitor Aware. Unfortunately, all parents will have to get checked into this new system, even if you were in the old system. See below for more information. If you are not in our NEW system, we recommend coming in prior to the party day to get your ID scanned.
• Please RSVP HERE so we can have your visitor sticker printed off ahead of time for a faster check-in process.
• 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.

Parents will have the opportunity to sign-up to help with the Fall Parties on Thursday, October 31, 2024. Parties will be held in the afternoon from 2:40 - 3:40PM. If you plan to help please remember the following:

• All parents must be scanned into our Visitor Aware Security System to be in the building. We are asking for you to do this process in advance of attending the party if you haven't already completed this process this school year at Fox Hill or another school in our district. Jenna or Leann, in our front office, can help you scan your ID into the system anytime. Without this process occurring, you won't be able to attend the party. Please call Jenna or Leann at (816) 321-5090 if you aren't sure of your Visitor Aware status.
• If you have to bring children from home, you must supervise them i.e. no running around the room, etc.
• There will not be extra snacks or activities for younger children to do during the party.
• Parents volunteering to assist with the party must help/supervise the students in the class.

Please send Ms. Price a picture of your veteran, by Nov. 1st, with the following information:

* Veterans Name

* Branch of Service

* Student’s Name(s)

* Teacher’s Name

These will be included in our presentation!

All Veterans and Active Military are invited to attend the Veteran’s Day Assembly on Friday Nov. 8th at 2:30!
