Message from Mrs. Huntsman: FOOTHILLS—Best Students, Parents, Teachers and Staff!!!

Submitted by keri.huntsman on Sat, 03/28/2020 - 13:19
I want to express my deep appreciation to ALL our teachers and staff who have been working long hours to stay connected to students and families. We know this has been a learning curve and disruption to the norm for families and it's been hard to stay positive, and yet we have received many kind comments, emails and gestures of gratitude from appreciative parents. Here are some examples during the past two weeks. A parent ordered and delivered pizza for teachers who were working late. Another parent stopped by to bring bags of chocolate with a nice note.

Parents and students,

In meetings today with teachers, it was decided that it would be best for every student to be able to check out the Chromebook they use at school. However, if the device(s) you have available at home are sufficient for your child(ren) to complete their online learning, there is no need for you to fill out the checkout form below.
