NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL...
The learning packets were created through the end of April. When we were making the packets, we were supposed to have returned to school in May. If you still need to pick up a learning packet, please email me kcastillo@wpusd.org so we can make arrangements to either have you pick up a packet or put your packet in an area in the front of the school so that you can pick it up at your convenience.
There will be one more packet distribution in May. As soon as we determine the dates, teachers and I will communicate that information to you. The May distribution will also include the remaining published books that need to get picked up and the students' supplies from their desks.
Lost and found items will remain on the wall in front of the office building through Friday. Please be sure to check out the wall to claim your lost items.
Thank you again for working closely with your child(ren)'s teacher(s) to keep the learning going during this time.
Important Dates
- 3/16 - 6/5 - No School through end of school year
- 4/21 - Medication Pick-up 10-2 (see below for more)

2020/2021 PTO Officer Elections
While everyone is home & thinking about how much they miss school, let's start to plan for the future together!
Would you like to be involved with event & budget planning for the 2020-2021 school year? Would you like to help generate ideas & coordinate fun events or give your input on campus updates? If you're considering getting more involved & becoming a PTO officer next year, send a note to PTOFRES@yahoo.com, your child's teacher, or the principal to express your interest. No experience necessary, just a willingness to help & a can-do attitude.
Join us in planning for our school's future!
Home Delivered School Support:
As online shopping & delivery services becomes more & more the way of life, remember that much of the online shopping you're already doing can benefit your school, too, with little to no additional effort from you.
- 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 with your child. 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.
