2019-20 Check-In Day Information

Foothill families, are you ready for Check-In Day?  

The event formerly known as Meet the Teacher is in it's second year and the kick-off for the new academic year.  The goal for Check In Day is for families to accomplish several tasks, in an efficient way, prior to the beginning of the year, while also decreasing the amount of class time disruptions.  


Join us on Tuesday, August 13th from 1-4 pm on the Foothill lawn for this event to take your student's school photo, preorder special 70th anniversary spirit wear, learn how you can raise money for Foothill easily, learn about volunteer opportunities, and meet your student's teacher.  The Kona Ice and Sol Coffee trucks will also be on campus with concessions for purchase.

Here's what you need to know:

• Registration - Your first stop!  Register for the event, get the lay of the land and get any questions you might have answered.

 

• Fundraising
  • Did you know that Colorado ranks 39th nationally among the 50 states and the District of Columbia with per-pupil spending in public elementary and high schools? 
  • Your Foothill PTO helps to make ends meet through various fundraising activities such as Amazon Smile, Milk Caps for Moola and Box Tops for Education.  If you've been collecting milk caps and Box Tops over the summer, feel free to bring them to Registration Day!
  • Shop at King Soopers, Lucky's Market or Safeway?  We'll get your registered to earn money for Foothill each time you purchase groceries.

• Spirit Wear
  
  • Students are encouraged to wear Foothill spirit wear each Friday and this year is Foothill's 70th anniversary!  We have spirit wear commemorating this year's celebration that you will be able to pre-order.  All merchandise purchased will be delivered to your child's classroom when it arrives this fall.
    
    
    
• Volunteer Station
  
  • It's our hope that each Foothill family is able to volunteer one hour of their time at some point throughout the year.  Just 60 minutes! Learn about available opportunities and how you can lend your time and talent. You can view available volunteer opportunities here.
    

• Meet Your Teacher
  
  • From 2-3p, you and your student are invited to meet their teacher.  Please note that this is a short visit to the classroom to say hello are our amazing classroom teachers are in the final hours of preparation for the first day of school the next day.  We ask that you be considerate of their time and only head to your student's classroom during this one hour block. 
    
    
    
• School Photos
  
  • This is your chance to ensure your child is looking at his/her best for their school photo as photographers will be at the ready to snap their school photo.  NOTE: There will also be a traditional photo retake day on October 3rd for anyone that may miss this opportunity.
    Skip the paperwork and preorder your student's photos online!
    • NEW THIS YEAR - Student photos will be taken in three scheduled blocks.
      
    • Noon - 1p KINDERGARTEN ONLY.  To make for a less overwhelming experience, all Kindergarten families are invited to get student photos taken before Check-In Day begins.
