NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Staff and I are excited to invite you to our Summer Send Off Drive Thru Event on Friday, June 5th between 8:30 and 9:30 AM. This will be a great way for students to see the staff, celebrate our Falcons' accomplishments and bring closure to the 2019 - 2020 school year while maintaining safety and social distancing.
Please note that this is an open window of time. You may come anytime between 8:30 and 9:30 AM.
Please note the following requirements per our county health officer:
- This is a car only event. To participate, each family has to be in its own car (no carpooling).
- Bikes, scooters, skateboards, motorcycles, etc. cannot be part of this event.
- Students and family members have to remain in the car.
- Staff will be required to maintain social distancing. They will not be able to hand items to you through the windows or collect items from you.
Other recommendations:
- Decorate your car or have a sign that includes your child(ren)'s name(s) so our team know who is in each car.
- Wear your best Falcon pride!
Cars will enter through what is usually the exit driveway of the south parking lot before proceeding along the route. There will be signs and cones to guide you.
After completing the drive thru, cars will exit onto Finney Way and can turn left to get to Joiner Parkway or right to loop around the park to get to Joiner Parkway.
We look forward to seeing you at this event!
Sincerely,
Kelly Castillo

Home Delivered School Support
Thank you for your continued support while you shop to sustain your households. As online shopping & delivery services become more commonly used, remember that much of the shopping you're already doing for home or office can benefit your school & students, with little additional effort from & no additional cost to you. With your support this year, PTO was able to secure enough funds to purchase a Chromecart filled with new Chromebooks for classroom use next year. Check out some of these great options to continue to your support:
- When you shop at smile.amazon.com/ch/20-8778808, AmazonSmile donates a small portion of the orders' cost to Foskett Ranch Elementary PTO automatically. Same Amazon store, products, prices, & shopping experience but through a portal that allows credit for the orders to be tallied for the school.
- When you shop other online stores or utilize delivery services, you can earn Box Tops for Participating Products by forwarding your e-receipt to receipts@boxtops4education.com from the same email address used by your Box Tops App account. The list of participating retails continues to expand; including, Instacart (which delivers for Costco, Target, Safeway, Raley's, Sprouts, CVS, Smart&Final, & others), Jet.com, SamsClub.com, Target.com, Walmart Grocery, Walmart.com & other Participating E-Receipt Retailers).
- Box Tops for participating product purchases can also be earned by scanning eligible store receipts with your Box Tops App.
- Traditional Box Tops coupons can still be found on some product packaging. Check your products when they arrive to see if there's a Box Top to clip & send to school by mail. By the way, double-dipping IS allowed here. If you have a physical Box Tops coupon on a product, you can clip & send that to the school AND scan the receipt showing that participating product with the Box Tops App & get double credit for the school.
- Our spirit wear vendor also ships directly to you! See the link in today's newsletter or in the Foskett Ranch App to access our online spirit wear store anytime. Each month, a new coupon is available for selected styles. All orders over $50 receive free shipping.
