Have You Heard About Check-In Day?

Have You Heard About Check-In Day?  

The event, formerly known as Meet the Teacher, is new this year and ready to become a Foothill tradition at the start of each new academic year.  Scheduled for Tuesday, August 14th from 1-4 p.m.,  the goal for Check In Day is for families to accomplish several tasks, in an efficient way, prior to the beginning of the academic year, while also decreasing the amount of class time disruptions.  
When families arrive at Check-In Day, you'll head to the Check-In Station to receive your checklist.  You'll then be able to visit each of the five stations:

• Fundraising Station: 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?  The Foothill PTO helps to make ends meet through various fundraising events 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 Check-In Day!

• School Photos + Yearbook Station: This is your chance to insure your child is looking his/her best for their school photo as photographers will be at the ready to snap their school photo.  You'll also be able to order your 2018-19 yearbook as well.  NOTE: There will also be a traditional photo re-take day later in the fall for anyone that may have missed this opportunity.

• Spirit Wear Station: Show your Foothill pride by pre-ordering spirit wear for your entire family!  Every purchase made helps fund school projects and events sponsored by the PTO.  Students and staff are encouraged to wear spirit wear each Friday to promote our amazing school community.  All merchandise will be delivered to the school when ready and distributed to your child this fall.  If you'd like to preorder spirit wear from the comfort of home, you also can easily complete the process online.

• 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.

• Meet The Teacher: Beginning at 2 p.m., families will be able to spend a few minutes meeting their child's teacher.  This portion of the event lasts only one hour as our amazing faculty is preparing last minute touches for the school year.  We ask that you be respectful of this time crunch!

• Popsicle Station: After you've completed your checklist and met your child's teacher, it's time for a last summertime treat.  Popsicles will be served for each child participating in the event.

For this year's inaugural event, WE NEED YOUR HELP!  Can you volunteer an hour of your time at one of the check-in stations or be a friendly face while handing out popsicles?  Please click here to volunteer your time and talent.
