What’s Happening at FMS September 25, 2015 We have had an eventful week at Foothills! Last Saturday I was so pleased to see many Foothills families at the AEF Bright Night event. It was a fun and informative evening highlighting the positive impact educational foundations can have on our schools. We also held ASB elections and have a new council for first semester. Be sure to check out the ASB page of the website to see a list of officers.

Make-Up and Retake School Photos: MAKE-UP PHOTO: On October 5, Lifetouch will be on campus to take school photos for the students who did not attend Scottie Days. This photo will be in the yearbook and also on the Foothills ID card. If you wish to purchase a photo package, see the attached flyer and you may order online or fill out and send with your child on October 5. RE-TAKE PHOTO: Students who wish to have their photos retaken may do so during break in the MPR on October 5. If you wish to order a school photo package of the new picture, see the attached flyer for more information. If you have already ordered a school photo package and your child is having the picture retaken, please return the original package to the photographer on re-take day. School photo packages will be handed out to students by Monday, September 28.

Progress Reports: We are excited that so many parents and students are utilizing PowerSchool to stay on top of their academic progress at Foothills! In the past, we have sent home progress reports midway through each quarter at the 5, 10, 15, and 20 week mark of the school year. Now, because of the availability of the Parent Portal on PowerSchool, parents and students are able to check grades constantly in real time. Therefore, we will no longer be sending by mail a progress report and only mailing grade reports home at the end of each quarter, in October, January, March, and June. It is very important that you have access to the Parent Portal on PowerSchool. If you need assistance in checking PowerSchool, please contact the Foothills office at 626-821-8363 or come by the office to get a copy of your Parent Portal letter with detailed instructions.

Upcoming Meetings and Events Wednesday, Sept 30 – Football and Volleyball, HOME vs. Santa Fe at 3:30 Wednesday, Oct 28 – Reflections Contest submission due to the office

School Procedures Reminders Dropping off items at school Items are not permitted to be dropped off for students during the school day. This includes lunch, homework, PE clothes, flowers, balloons, etc. If a student forgets lunch, they are always able to purchase lunch in the cafeteria with cash or by charging to the student account.

A Message from PTSA: The easiest way to support the PTSA is to become a member – and it is not too late to join! If you meant to join, and haven’t yet, please stop by the school office ($7.00 for individual or $21.00 for a family membership, checks made payable to “Foothills Middle School PTSA”).

Thank you for supporting your child’s education and Foothills! Pamela Wang 2015-2016 FMS Membership Chair

A Message from AEF: Throughout the years, Arcadia Education Foundation has provided students with innovative technology, classroom fundamentals, district communications, scrip benefits, teacher mini grants, annual summer school, and most recently, additional counseling services for transitioning students. Arcadia Educational Foundation P.O. Box 660009, Arcadia, CA 91066-0009 (626) 447-2165 phone / (626) 821-6607 fax

Thanks and have a great week! Angie Dillman, Assistant Principal

Foothills FamiliesStudents at Foothills need your help. The PTSA Direct Donation Fundraiser is the only fundraiser that provides monetary support to run our PTSA and funds programs like ASB, book fair, talent show, Reflections, classroom donations and red ribbon week. A gift to school provides for the purchase of I-pads, books for the library, sports equipment, scholarships, and educational events just to name a few. PTSA enriches your student’s experience at Foothills, but we cannot continue to provide these programs without a significant increase in donations. If you already contributed to our Direct Donation, thank you very much for your support. If you missed us during Scottie Days, please consider making a donation. Any donation is appreciated, though a donation of $45 per student will allow us to continue providing the programs that help make Foothills the wonderful school it is. Our goal is to raise $12,000 by October 20th! If we raise $12,000 by October 20th, your students will get an added benefit: they will get to vote on what Halloween Costume Mr. Acker and Ms. Dillman will wear for the day. Could it be Mr. Acker in a tu-tu or Ms. Dillman as a punk rocker? Your students will decide! Please help make our goal possible. There will be a box in the office to drop off any donations. Thank you in advance for helping to keep these valuable programs running. Your support is important! Sincerely, The PTSA Executive Board
