Our annual Booster Club fundraiser will kick off Friday, September 6th, through Wednesday, September 18th. We will again be selling trash bags to support Fox Hill students. Please be looking for flyers to come home in backpacks soon. We look forward to partnering with you in this fundraising effort!

Do you have a compliment or shout out for one of our staff members? We always want to hear from our Fox Hill families! A great way to let staff members know what they are doing well is to send communications through North Kansas City Schools' Let's Talk Link (see below). This program allows you to send communications to Fox Hill or other district departments. We do our best to celebrate the good work our staff is doing, this is a great way to let us know what you like!

Each year we collect a list of our staff's favorite things. If you would like to celebrate a teacher or staff member, take a look at a few of their favorite things.

Visitors are welcomed to join students for lunch on or after September 16th. Due to space in the cafe, each visitor is only allowed once a week. Visitors must be listed on the student’s enrollment form or the parent/guardian must contact the office to give approval prior to the lunch visitor's arrival. Visitors at Fox Hill and all NKCSD schools are required to show their driver’s license in order to enter the building. Driver’s licenses will be scanned into the Raptor program and then a photo ID sticker will be printed to wear while you are on school grounds.

Once your child's lunch has ended, parents will say their goodbyes in the cafe and return back to the front office. For the safety and security of all students, parents will not be allowed to walk their child back to class.

If you or your family need resources (food, clothing, shelter, school supplies, therapy/counseling, vision/dental, or others), please contact our social worker, Meghan Shipley.

If you have not done so already, please opt in to text message alerts from FH and NKC. We don’t use this method of communication that often and promise not to flood you with text messages. It’s an extremely helpful way to communication any last minute changes, for example, snow day alerts, emergencies, or reminders. To opt in, text YES to 67587.

We would love to have 100% of our families join the Booster Club. You can also access the form via the below link. Please complete the form and return it to the Fox Hill office.

We want to make dismissal as quick and efficient as possible. You can help us by following these procedures:

Parents in the car rider line:

• Please continue to use your child's name card in your front window to assist us in getting your child out to the curb as quickly as possible,
• Please stay in your car to keep the line moving. If you need to buckle in your child, please pull into a parking space to do so after you have been released from the line.
• Please stay in line--pulling out of line causes traffic jams in the parking lot and slows down the dismissal process for car riders and buses.

Parents with transportation changes:

• Please let the office know as soon as you know there will be a transportation change for your child, this helps us communicate with teachers to ensure students are where they need to be.

Thank you for your help making dismissal a smooth and orderly process!

NKC Schools uses the Versatrans My Stop app to track all buses. When setting up this app, be sure to select "Allow" when it asks to send you notifications. This means it will send you updates on where your child's bus is currently located, how many stops away it is, the estimated arrival time, the overall route of the bus, and so much more. There is also an option to turn on "Delayed Bus Notifications." This will notify you automatically if the bus is more than 10 minutes late leaving the school. This is especially helpful for the first week of school and on poor weather days that sometimes cause bus delays.

You can download this app on both Apple and Android devices. You will be asked to select your child's school district. Please select, "North Kansas City Schools (MO)." Log in with your child's student number (same as their lunch number) for BOTH the username and password. Please change the password after you log in for the first time. You can do this from the "Setup" option on the main screen.

For more detailed directions, please see the documents below for how to set up the app on an Apple device and an Android device.
