PBIS at Fox River: The Falcon Cart!
Each week students earn Falcon Feathers for being respectable, responsible and safe. Anytime a student earns a Falcon Feather they can redeem it when the Falcon Cart comes around on Friday mornings. Students can choose from a variety of snacks and fruit drinks.
The Falcon Cart is a terrific way to reward students who are lining up to the Falcon Code! Student volunteers are the ones who actually push the cart from class to class and collect Falcon Feathers and pass out snacks! This is going on our 5th year of rewarding our students!
Our Falcon Cart could not be possible without the generous donations from our families! Thank you for all of your generosity and support.

WUHS Choir is Visiting Fox River Middle School
WUHS Choir will highlight all the clubs, activities, athletics, and of course music offered at the high school. For the 8th graders, it is also an opportunity to give them time to ask questions of the WUHS students about those different opportunities.
We are thrilled to be hosting this fabulous event!
Front Office
Please double check your account to ensure there are no outstanding registration fees or class fees. Fees can be paid through Skyward Family Access with eFunds or in person in the office.
Students should also check the lost and found table located in the commons/lunchroom. Items not claimed by the end of January will be boxed up and donated (pictures included in the classroom updates).
STUDENT SERVICES
In January, counselors will be working with all fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students to assist them with their class registration selections for next school year as well as share transition information. This is an exciting time as we all start thinking about progressing and planning for the next grade level.
