Hello Foster Families!
As we prepare for the start of the 2024/2025 school year, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for entrusting the staff at Foster High School with one of your most valuable possessions—your child.
Our dedicated team is eager to return on September 3rd, when we will welcome and meet all our scholars. At Foster, we prioritize ensuring every scholar feels safe, welcomed, and academically challenged. We are committed to creating opportunities for authentic and meaningful family and community partnerships, as collaboration is critical to the success of our learning community.
As scholars return to school, I would like to remind you of our cell phone policy at Foster High School. Our policy is "no cell phones from bell to bell," meaning that cell phones should not be visible or used during class unless explicitly instructed by the teacher for academic purposes.
This policy is in place to minimize distractions and ensure a focused learning environment. It also extends to phone use in restrooms during instructional time. Scholars can use their phones between class periods, lunch, and after school. While this is our overall school policy, individual classroom teachers may have specific expectations concerning phones within their classrooms.
The doors to the school building open at 7:30 AM, and school begins promptly at 8:00 AM. We ask for your support in ensuring that all scholars arrive on time and remain on campus throughout the school day to fully benefit from the educational opportunities they deserve. Please note that Foster has a closed campus lunch policy for 9th and 10th graders, meaning they are not permitted to leave campus at any point during the day.
We look forward to an incredible year filled with enriching educational experiences and opportunities for our scholars. If you are interested in volunteering, becoming a guest speaker, or visiting our learning community, please do not hesitate to contact the office. You can express your interest and availability, and our staff will guide you through the process. Your involvement is invaluable to us, and we welcome your participation in our school community.
Thank you once again for your trust and partnership. We are excited to begin our year together and look forward to a successful school year ahead.
