© Fox Hill Elementary School - September 2009

Welcome From the Fox Hill PTO

The Fox Hill PTO's main goal is, and always has been, to provide services and funds that enhance the school-based learning environment for each and every child at Fox Hill. In years past, our PTO has been able to provide funds for improvements to our school, an exciting and rewarding Artist in Residence Program, funds for buses for field trips, fun events, author visits, enrichment programs and scholarships to two graduating seniors who attended Fox Hill School. These are only a handful of the many rewarding events/items that the PTO has been able to provide.

Once again we are asking for your support to ensure another successful year.

The success of the PTO largely depends on member participation in fundraisers and volunteerism and by way of financial support through membership dues. In order for Fox Hill PTO to continue to provide all of these opportunities, it takes approximately $20,000.00 a year in fundraising. Please show your support for your children by supporting us as much as possible.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, comments or ideas that you would like to share. Again, welcome back and we look forward to working with you!

PTO Meetings: Meets two times (see Event Calendar for dates)

Attendance at these monthly meetings is important and open to all. You will be made aware of what's happening at the Fox Hill School, help organize upcoming events, exchange ideas, discuss important issues, and make decisions. Members of the PTO Board, Teacher Representatives, and the Principal are present at these meetings. This is your best opportunity to share your concerns and ideas during the upcoming year.

Communications:

In an effort to enhance communication, the following are a few of the resources available:
PTO Mailbox: located in the school office. If you have PTO-related questions, suggestions, or other concerns and cannot attend a scheduled meeting, just send a note with your child and have him/her "mail it" for you. PTO Shorts Newsletter: published periodically by the PTO, containing information regarding upcoming activities, financial reporting, and lots more. It will be given to your child to bring home. Be sure to look for it.

PTO Handbook:

A quick source for information on school activities, services and policies. The PTO publishes and distributes this handbook within the first two weeks of school. It includes a school calendar, a floor plan, a faculty and staff register, additional information concerning the Fox Hill School and relevant community services and programs.

Weekly Bulletin:

Provided by the Fox Hill teaching staff and often contains PTO information
