Read MoreGreetings Fox Mill Parents!
In an effort to have as complete a yearbook as possible, and one that reflects this unique year, we are planning to have each home room teacher take a virtual class photo on the morning of 2/16/21. These pictures will only be used for the yearbook, no other purposes. If you do not want your child pictured in this class photo, please email your teacher, and they will remind your student to turn their camera off prior to taking the photo. Students will be welcome to use a virtual background for the photo if you or they do not want their surroundings included.

In most cases you must register if registration information is provided.

Read MoreDo you have a Kindergartener or Rising Kindergartener and want to learn about the possibilities at Fox Mill Elementary school? We have an amazing immersion program in Japanese! The kids learn math and science from a Japanese teacher half of the day, and then learn English and social studies in their English class the other half of the day.
If you would like to get our newsletters from the Japanese culture committee, please email jccfoxmill@aol.com. It’s a great way to meet other parents and do some Japanese culture activities for the entire school.
Please pass this along to anyone that might be interested. Thank you!

The yearbook coordinator is working behind the scenes in hopes that we will be able to have a yearbook this year. BUT a yearbook is dependent on pictures, so this will NOT be possible without YOUR help! We are asking for your submission of back to school photos, playground photos, school activity photos, classroom at home photos, spirit day photos, and anything else school related.

Read MoreWhen one of our wonderful teachers retired at the end of last year our FMES community wanted to find a way to honor her many years at Fox Mill. So with donated supplies, time and MANY books they created a little library in her honor. The Little Library is even registered and has an official little library number that can be mapped. The "inaugural" set of books are mostly age appropriate to 4th and 5th graders.
Please visit soon!
