We strive to maintain a strong connection between our school and our children’s parents. Numerous events are scheduled throughout the year where parents can participate in activities with the children. Examples include holiday parties, parent reading time, and field trips where parents are encouraged to chaperone and enjoy the fun. We have an open-door policy at The Fox Den Academy, and you always welcome to visit the center at any time during the day. We encourage you to schedule time to come into your child’s classroom to participate and lead an activity. Examples of parent participation include; reading a story, doing an art project, leading a cooking activity, etc. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know your child’s teacher as well as spend quality time with your child.
Please note, when communicating with teachers, they are most likely focusing on caring for the children, so messages may not be answered immediately. If you have an urgent request, please call the school directly.
We conduct Parent-Teacher Conferences, twice yearly. Although we hope you are communicating with your child’s teacher throughout the year, these conferences are a time to discuss in detail, with your child’s teachers, the developmental goals that your child has reached. Conferences are normally scheduled in October and May. If you would like to set up a conference at another time throughout the year, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher.
All communication will be provided by the Brightwheel app. This is our preferred method of communication..
We publish a bi-weekly newsletter. The newsletter provides information regarding monthly activities as well as parenting articles. The newsletter is provided via paper or email and can also be viewed on our website.
Our parent advisory panel is active. There are 6 members that meet bi-monthly to ensure the Fox Den’s mission and vision are upheld.
