Due to construction taking place at Fox Hill this summer, our summer school will be at Nashua Elementary during the month of June.

In 2025, the June session will be offered four days per week, following this schedule:

• • Week 1: Tuesday, June 3 – Friday, June 6
  • Week 2: Monday, June 9 – Thursday, 12
  • Week 3: Monday, June 16, Tuesday, June 17, Wednesday, June 18, Friday, June 20
    • Thursday, June 19 is a holiday (Juneteenth) with no summer school. Friday, June 20 will be a virtual attendance day for students and teachers in summer school.
  • Week 4: Monday, June 23 – Thursday, June 26

Fox Hill's Summer School Hours: 9:20 a.m. – 3:20 p.m.

Directions on how to enroll your child in summer school:

• Parents and guardians may enroll students for summer programming beginning Monday, March 17, 2025, through Friday, May 23, 2025.
• Summer School takes an "everybody rises" approach. For example, if your child completes 1st grade this spring, they will be considered a 2nd-grade student for summer school.
• It is important to note that if your child completes 5th grade, 6th grade, or 8th grade this spring, they will transition to the next grade level and their new building for summer programming.

Enroll for summer school through the PowerSchool Parent Portal here. Click the link above or scroll to the bottom of the page for directions.

If you have an incoming kindergartener for the 2025/2026 school year, please call the office at (816)321-5090 to be added to our mailing list. Information will be coming home soon regarding enrollment and K Round-Up.

Our annual school-wide carnival is on Friday, April 11th from 5:30-7:30. Ticket pre-sale order forms will be sent home in backpacks after spring break and are due by April 9th.

This year, we have added even more new games and attractions. There will be a large slide, cotton candy, food trucks, cake walk, balloon artists, face painting, sports games, pig races, a foam pit and many other fun and exciting games. Donations for the cake walk are greatly appreciated and the class with the most donations will get an extra recess.

In order to make this event a success, we need volunteers to help run the games and attractions. We'd prefer adults working each game, but older, responsible siblings would be wonderful as well. You can find the volunteer sign-up HERE or the button below. All volunteers that sign-up ahead of time will receive a free $10 punchcard per shift they work. They will receive their free punchcards on April 11th when they check-in at the volunteer table.
