Dear William Foster Elementary School Families, 

Thank you all for the warm welcome you've extended to me during the first half of the 2024-2025 school year. Without a doubt, educating, mentoring, and just being around our school families and students is truly an invigorating blessing. We've made some significant strides during the first half of the school year, and we thank staff members for their dedication, families for their support. 

Our students are working hard to learn and strengthen foundational skills in English Language Arts and Math.  They are focused on learning phonemic awareness and phonics skills including letter naming and letter sound fluency in ELA and number sense in Math.  The culture of our building is focused on KINDNESS!  To that end, the entire building read, "Be The "I" In Kind" on World Kindness Day and we continue to discuss what that looks like in our school and our lives.  For our youngest learners, the best way parents can support their children's learning is to read WITH them every night for 20 minutes and discuss what's happening in the story.  

Have a great holiday season and lets' start 2025 on a strong note!
