Cub Hub

The holiday season is upon us, and excitement is in the air at Fox. Our Cubs and faculty are actively involved in collecting clothing and toys for those in need, rehearsing for holiday shows, in addition to embracing challenge and learning more and more each day. Please be sure to keep your calendar of events in a handy location so that you can join in on the fun as your schedules permit.

Special Cub thanks are extended to the music departments at Schindewolf, Klein Collins, Klein Oak, and Fox for their concerts that we look forward to every year.

I am thrilled to announce that Justin Anders will be joining our team as our new Assistant Principal! Justin brings a wealth of experience, a deep commitment to fostering student success, and a passion for building strong, supportive school communities. You may have already spotted him in the car rider line or cheering on students at the Spelling Bee. Please join me in giving him a warm Fox Family welcome!

Message from Mr. Anders

I am honored to serve as one of the Assistant Principals at Fox Elementary and to be part of such an incredible community. My passion lies in supporting students as they grow academically, socially, and emotionally, and I am committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment where every child can thrive.

With a strong focus on collaboration and innovation, I look forward to working alongside our talented staff, dedicated families, and amazing students to continue Fox's tradition of excellence. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am excited to connect and partner with you to make this school year a success!"

Now that the weather is changing and temperatures should be dropping, dressing your child appropriately for the weather is important. Students will go outdoors for recess, weather permitting. It is important for the students to go out in the fresh air and exercise. Please be sure your child has a winter coat, gloves or mittens, and perhaps a hat on colder days. Please write your child's name on interior coat tags. This will help us identify and return lost items quickly.
