Happy Friday Fox Mill Families,
We hope you had a wonderful week hearing the tales of school around your dining tables. We got revved up for the PTA sponsored Fun Run with our pep rally this afternoon. Look for details in your child’s Thursday folder.
A Few Updates

PTA Corner
Can your class take the top prize? Support our Fun Run today!
The students had a great time at our pep rally today and hopefully came home sporting a new wristband and fresh school spirit! Currently Ms. Trumans class is atop the leaderboard, but many others are close behind! Help your student's class earn a tie-dye party, popsicle party, or recess fun bag--while working towards our school-wide goal for a bonus Foxy's Fall Field Day! Register your student and help gather donations so we can reach our goal and continue supporting things like field trips, assemblies, classroom supports, fun events, and teacher appreciation all year long. The campaign is live here: https://www.givebacks.com/causes/foxmillespta/campaigns/unleash/participant-center

2025 Student Rights and Responsibilities
FCPS’ Student Rights and Responsibilities document (SR&R) explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment.
Parents/caregivers should talk to their child(ren) about expectations for this school year. Also, please log in to SIS ParentVUE and sign to acknowledge your review of the SR&R, or sign and return the signature sheet to your child’s school by Tuesday, September 30.
Start Times Survey
K-12 School Start Times Survey FCPS is continuing to explore options for adjusting school start times, with the primary goal of beginning the middle school day at 8 a.m. or later. In order to minimize any cost for this project, elementary and high school start times would need to shift as well.
Providing feedback opportunities for the community is a critical part of this effort. Since 2024, FCPS’ consultant has hosted five community forums and administered two surveys. A new School Start TImes Survey is open through Tuesday, September 30. It includes two options that are designed to support student well-being, align with research, balance transportation logistics, and minimize costs. Staff, parents and caregivers, students, and community members may provide input on the two options by taking the survey. Find more information about adjusting school start times.
