Join us for The Language of Nature, a special Early Learner Atelier experience designed for children ages 3–5 and their caregivers.

Together, we’ll explore, create, and wonder with natural materials and discover what children can communicate through their many ways of expressing ideas.

This is an opportunity to experience the heart of our Reggio-inspired Early Learner program where children are encouraged to explore, create, ask questions, and follow their curiosity.

Come explore with us and discover what joyful learning looks like at Foothills!

Our 5th and 6th graders took learning beyond the classroom today with a visit to the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial and the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights.

As they study human rights, students are using our downtown location as an extension of the classroom—exploring important ideas, asking questions, and making meaningful connections right in our own community.

New year. New possibilities.

We asked our students and teachers what they’re excited about as they begin a new year at Foothills. Their answers are a joyful reminder that everyone in our community arrives with their own ideas, interests, hopes, and possibilities.

We’re ready to wonder together and see where the year takes us!

This week, the joyful energy of a new year beginning could be felt throughout the halls and classrooms.

Through the Early Learner Family Orientation and our school-wide Meet & Greet, we gathered to reconnect, build relationships, and begin imagining the year ahead.

At Foothills, we believe community doesn’t simply happen—it’s something we intentionally design for. The beginning of a school year is about reconnecting with one another, welcoming new families, and creating a community where everyone feels they belong.

Welcome back, Foothills. We’re so glad you’re here.

The start of a new school year is filled with possibility, AND it can also bring big emotions for children and families alike.

As we prepare to welcome our community back to Foothills, we know that every transition looks a little different. Some children step into a new school year with excitement, while others need a little more time, reassurance, and connection. Every response is a natural part of growing.

At Foothills, we believe children thrive when they feel known, valued, and supported. Together with families, we create the relationships, routines, and sense of belonging that help children build confidence, resilience, and a love of learning.

As you begin rebuilding family rhythms and routines, we hope these reminders offer encouragement and practical ways to support your child through the transition. Thank you for partnering with us as we begin another year of curiosity, connection, and joyful learning!

At Foothills, learning comes to life through meaningful experiences. Our students investigate real questions, create with purpose, collaborate with others, and connect their learning to the world around them. Through hands-on, project-based learning, curiosity becomes understanding, and every child discovers they have something valuable to contribute to their community.

How do we help children thrive in a digital world?

As school routines return, join us for a virtual conversation about raising confident, intentional, and balanced digital citizens. This dialogue will be led by Foothills Junior High Faculty member and Director of Educational Technology, Justin Brune.

Together, we'll explore practical, research-informed strategies for navigating technology at home, creating healthy boundaries, and fostering healthy digital habits that support children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. We'll also consider how we, as adults, can model balanced technology use and create family routines that prioritize connection, curiosity, and well-being in today's connected world.

Whether your family is just beginning to navigate technology or you're looking to reset routines for the school year, you'll leave with practical ideas and meaningful insights to support your child with confidence.
