Dear Foothill Families and Community Members,

Welcome to the home of the Foothill Coyotes! It is an absolute honor to welcome both our returning families and those who are new to our school community. At Foothill, we pride ourselves on being a place where every student is known, valued, and empowered to reach their highest potential.

We are immensely proud of the remarkable academic progress our students continue to achieve. Through the hard work of our dedicated educators and the perseverance of our learners, Foothill has seen outstanding growth in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.

As an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) school, we integrate college- and career-readiness strategies into our everyday instruction. Across all grade levels, our students learn to:
-Organize their thoughts and materials effectively.
-Collaborate with peers to solve complex problems.
-Think critically through structured inquiry and writing.
-Set ambitious goals for their personal and academic futures.

By fostering an AVID culture early on, we ensure our Coyotes are building the habits of success that will serve them long after they leave us.  We are creating students who are Ready for their Future!

We believe that learning thrives in a safe, inclusive, and joyful environment. Positive behavior support, and mutual respect are at the foundation of everything we do.  We also know that a child’s educational journey is a partnership. Foothill is fortunate to be backed by an incredible PTA, parents, guardians, and community members who volunteer, attend events, and support our school. Together, we create a strong, connected network.

As we jump into this school year, I encourage you to stay connected with us! Follow our social media channels, enroll in ParentSquare for weekly school updates, and join us for upcoming school events.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education. Let’s make this a year full of learning and growth!

With gratitude,
Andrea Kea
Principal, Foothill Elementary School
