A Message from the Office

Hello, 🦊Fox Chase Families!  Happy Thursday!

Parents/ Guardians,

Fox Chase Elementary School is classified as a Title I school. Being a Title I school means receiving federal funding (Title I dollars) to supplement the school’s existing programs.  As part of this process we are asking parents/ guardians to be a part of this process.  I have created a short video presentation outlining the Title I process and what roles parents/ guardians play in this.  Please take a moment to watch the video and complete a quick survey for us.

  • Presentation Video -https://watch.screencastify.com/v/1iWUZ9nApygsQOpbqEUV
  • Google Slides Presentation
  • SD308 written policy 
  • Parent Compact 
  • Please complete the survey to show agreement to the compact.

Best Regards, 

Mr. Jeff Rainaldi

Principal Fox Chase

 

REMINDERS:

Crosswalk and arrival/dismissal safety🦺

Parents, if your children walk or ride their bikes to school, please be sure that they are heading to the intersections with crossing guards to cross the street.   We have crossing guards located at Mill Road and Lynx, Lynx and Fox Chase Drive North and Century and Fox Chase Drive North.  In these areas with the arrival and dismissal traffic, it is important that they utilize these crosswalks to cross safely!  Parents who are driving in these areas, please always use utmost caution for all our Jaguars that are making their way to and from school each day.  Thank you for helping us keep all the students safe.

 New this year: Angel Yearbooks. 

We want everyone to experience the excitement that comes with opening a yearbook for the first time and to be able to look back and reminisce on events and experiences for years to come. We realize how important this is. Unfortunately, we know this is not accessible for all of our students, which is why we started the Angel yearbook program. We are looking for generous families who are able to donate $5, $10 or $20 towards an Angel Yearbook for students in need. Donations are greatly appreciated and offer students the opportunity to have a keepsake forever.
