Welcome!

Fox Mill ES is a 2010 Governor's Award for Educational Excellence Recipient

At Fox Mill ES it is our mission to focus instruction on developing the whole child. We are committed to providing opportunities designed to meet individual needs and to ensure that every child experiences success, academically, emotionally and socially.


Japanese Immersion Program Information Sessions

An information session is scheduled for Tuesday January 12th at 7:00 PM for prospective parents who wish to place their rising 1st grade child in the partial-immersion Japanese program at Fox Mill ES. At that meeting parents will learn about the Japanese immersion program at Fox Mill and have an opportunity to register to attend the open house on Thursday January 21st.

Fox Mill will also provide an opportunity for parents to observe instruction in the first grade Japanese Partial-Immersion classroom. This visit is offered to parents who are considering this program for the 2010-11 school year for their rising 1st graders. If you would like to participate, you must sign up either by adding your name to the list that will be available at the informational meeting (January 12 at 7:00 p.m.), or by calling the school office at (703) 262-2700. The observation is limited to parents only.

Spots in the Japanese immersion program are assigned by lottery. Registration for the lottery is open from January 4, 2010 thru February 16, 2010. Register online: www.fcps.edu/DIS/OHSICS/forlang/partial.htm.
