We are so excited to welcome you back!

I hope you all have had a relaxing summer and have had time to enjoy time with your families and friends. I have enjoyed having our kids home this summer. Our daughter was home for a quick visit before she starts her first year of teaching in California and our son is getting ready to head back to Kentucky for his Sophomore year at Morehead State Univ.

I am looking forward to welcoming back our 450 students and our incredible staff. We are lucky to have several new staff join us and you are going to love getting to know them too!

Please read the info below as I have laid out all the important dates that are coming up very quickly! I look forward to seeing you all at our meet and greet night. This year we will have a Fox Hollow t-shirt for all students, so be sure to come see Mrs. Condon and I in the gym on Aug. 8! This will be a night full of fun, food, friends, drop off your supplies and a chance to see your classroom.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.

See you soon!

Ashley Gray

The last three years, we dismissed all elementary schools one hour earlier (1:45PM) every Wednesday to enhance our elementary teachers' professional development and training opportunities. We had such success with this time we will be continuing this again this school year. In addition, for families who participate in after-school childcare, the after-school program will be extended every Wednesday at no additional cost. For families who need care, you can register with our school's program.
