Foothill MS Community Memo
September 1st, 2023
I want to thank everyone who attended Back to School Night last night. What a lovely evening finding out about all the learning your students will be doing this year.
We are having many after school clubs starting to develop. So far we have: Genders and Sexuality Alliance GSA, International Cultures, Griffin Times, Robotics, Art Club. More charters are coming in everyday and we will have a Club rush during both lunches on Tuesday September 5th. More offerings to come!
There is no school on Monday, September 4th, in observance of Labor Day.
Have a fun and restful 3 day weekend,
Principal Stull

Safety Reminders
This is not new information but a much needed repeat message. Please understand all of these rules and procedures are for student safety. We are having some close calls with vehicles and our students. As you are well aware as a driver--the car will always win.
Please drive slowly, look around for children, and adhere to these:
Speed limit surrounding the school is 20 mph.
When exiting driveways on campus NO Left Turns during school hours (7:30-3pm).
Parking: No parking in crosswalks/red zones; only designated spots.
Staff Parking Lot: NO DROP-OFF OR PICK-UP. THIS is for our school buses ONLY.
If you should need to pick up your child within the day if the Staff lot is open you may use the Visitor spots (under the solar panels by the main entrance). IF the cones are blocking the parking lot entrances, park in the drive-through circle.
Other Areas for drop off and pick-up: Via Monte & Deerpark Drive.
Please respect the rules of the road and our neighbors.
A few neighbors have kindly asked to remind you of the following:
- Don't make U-Turns in their driveways or in the middle of the street. This is especially dangerous for our students who are walking and those on bikes.
- Don't block driveways.
- Children should understand private property and not sit on lawns, fences, or benches without the owner's permission.
