Foxborough Regional Charter School is thrilled to announce our 2012 Summer Enrichment Program.  The program will offer students in grades K – 8 the opportunity to take part in a variety of interesting activities. Each class will be held Monday through Thursday for two hour blocks (please see schedule of times and dates below).  If your child attends an AM and PM Enrichment class, or Summer School in the AM and an Enrichment class in the PM, in the same week, they will be able to stay and take part in a supervised lunch/recess hour offered from 12:00 – 1:00 PM.  The cost for each Enrichment class will be $80.00 per child.  A discount will be offered for additional siblings taking classes.

All Summer Enrichment Program information will be on our school website at www.foxboroughrcs.org.   Again this year, there will be many exciting courses to choose from.  Classes offered in the past were: Candle Making, Soccer Camp, Back Yard Games, Fuse Bead Fun, Krazy Kites, American Girl Dolls, Fun with Photography, Kids in the Kitchen, and CSI FRCS. Each class will require a minimum  enrollment in order for it to run.

Please plan accordingly.

The FRCS Greenhouse has sprouted!!  Mrs. Gimler and her Grade 4 students along with Ms. Costa and her Kindergarten crew have combined on the first joint planting project for sunflowers and pea plants.  Grade 4 students “supervised” the Kindergarten students as they scooped, measured, filled, planted, labeled,  and watered.

Students will take mini-field trips to the greenhouse to check progress and see which class has the “green thumb”!  Check out their progress below….

The Grade 6 Career Fair will take place on Friday, May 18, 2012.  Parents and FRCS staff will discuss their jobs and career progression.  Presenters will be emphasizing how important education is to prepare for careers and that many jobs require continued training.  Students have been assigned a short research project watching a variety of career videos.  The will also complete a questionnaire about the presentations and the best two from each homeroom will get a “working” lunch (pizza) with FRCS staff!

Senior Independent Enrichment Project Fair

The Senior Independent Enrichment Fair will be on Thursday, May 24 in the new Media Center.  Seniors will present their projects and students in grades 9-11 will have the opportunity to visit the Fair to see senior project displays.  This year projects included pediatric physical therapy, law, criminal psychology, nursing, and three students who prepared themselves for Advanced Placement exams for courses not offered at FRCS.  Congratulations to all the seniors for their efforts this year and a special thanks to the staff who volunteered their time to be advisors.

SAT Testing

FRCS will be a test site for the June 2 SAT.  Juniors interested in taking the June test have until May 22 to meet the late registration deadline.  Contact Mr. Elsner with questions.

1. Drive at the posted speed limit while on school property
2. Yield to pedestrians and cars that are trying to park;
3. Refrain from using electronic devices that may distract your attention
4. Bus lanes are for buses only at all times

The safety of our students, staff and visitors is our top priority, especially during our busy drop off and pick up times. Thank you to all the parents who have been so respectful and careful driving on our campus.  Please take special care when traveling on campus.  In addition, please note:

• NO double parking is allowed. Please arrive at the appropriate drop-off & pick-up times and park in the designated parking areas.
• School personnel will cross students safely in crosswalks in the parking lot.  Please do not summon your child(ren) to your car via cell phone as they are not safely crossing the parking lot when not in supervised crossing areas.
• There is NO pick-up and/or drop-off at the Mobil station or at the business park across the street. Not only is it unsafe for students but the pedestrian flow is adding additional delays within our parking lot. Police will take action if this practice continues. Please help us be a good neighbor.
• During posted times, there is NO left turn onto route 140 when exiting our parking lot.  Buses are the only exception.  Please be considerate of all drivers trying to exit our campus and keep the traffic flowing.

Thank you, in advance, for your continued support in protecting our entire school community.

In the event you experience an unsafe situation on our grounds, please contact our Operations Division which oversees facilities.
