We are proud of our program and the way our teachers deliver the curriculum.  Click on the links below to watch the curriculum videos.  This was developed for our virtual curriculum night.

Dorothy Fox is the winner of the most students who walk to school in the district. 85% of our students are in the Walk Zone.  A school’s walk zone is determined “as the crowe flies” in a circle with the school in the center, 1/2 mile outwards on a map in all directions.  Because we are a true neighborhood school, this incorporates most of our students.  Of course, it might take more than 0.5 miles on a paved street to walk to the school and that is where the opportunity to get exercise comes in!

Walking is one of the best ways to stay healthy, reduce pollution, and avoid traffic. It’s also one of the best ways to connect with cool people and great places. Whether we are commuting to work or school, meeting friends, or exploring the neighborhood, a walk can become an adventure. It’s amazing what can happen when we walk!

The Fox Community is encouraged not to drop off your child in a car, but find a way to walk on October 16th to school in celebration of Walktober!

We were honored to welcome veteran dads John Kaiser and Mike LaFors as well as other family members who attended our school assembly on November 12 as audience guests with former military service.  Our theme was how to show our gratitude to the service men and women who have done so much for our country.  First Class Sergeant Aguilar spoke to our students about the meaning of the flag and how they can show their appreciation.  We also are grateful for the support of all military families for their sacrifices.  In addition to celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Star Spangled Banner, we had songs from the 4th and 5th grade, colors were posted by local Boy Scout Troops and many Fox students wrote thank you cards and letters that will be sent to active service vets in Afghanistan.

School Beautification Day 2014 was a huge success.  Thank you to the many students, parents, and community friends who came together on Saturday, August 23 to make the school look its best to start the school year.  The group spread bark, scrubbed and power washed the playground equipment, benches, and swings.  They also sanded and painted the goal posts.  What great acts of service learning!

Special shout out to Fox Parent, Mark Burger, who quietly comes to our campus year round to pull weeds and prune bushes.  Also thanks to our amazing CSD Ground Crew member, Bonnie Murdock.
