MESSAGE FROM FA PTO:
We ask every family to participate in our two annual fundraising campaigns: Foothills Academy Support Fee and Tax Credit.
The Foothills Academy Support Fee campaign supports our academic model in the classroom and the Tax Creditdrive supports our extra-curricular programs.
We ask every family to participate in our two annual fundraising campaigns: Foothills Academy Support Fee and Tax Credit.
The Foothills Academy Support Fee campaign supports our academic model in the classroom and the Tax Creditdrive supports our extra-curricular programs.
What is the Foothills Academy Support Fee investment campaign? The essential priorities of our educational model cost more per-student than we receive from public funding. To make up for this cost gap, we ask our families to contribute to the annual Foothills Academy Support Fee investment campaign.
What does your Foothills Academy Support Fee investment provide? Family contribution through the Foothills Academy Support Fee investment campaign allows our school leadership to run the school day-to-day, and to hold fast to our mission as we plan and grow. Your FA Support Fee investment:
Keeps our class sizes small.
Keeps our special subject specialist (Art, P.E., STEM+)
Gives our teachers more time to spend with each student.
Helps us to reward and retain our excellent and dedicated faculty.
Allows us to provide a multi-age classroom, college preparatory education, in a public school setting
Our teachers instruct fewer students than the district average, are better able to prepare for their lessons, and have more time for communications with parents. The result is that our students receive more direct instruction from excellent faculty, more meaningful assignments, timely feedback, and the opportunity for one-on-one interaction. You will not find these essentials at a district school. These are the essentials we strive for that set our school apart.
How do families participate? We ask each family to contribute per-student to help cover the gap between what we need for our academic model and what we receive from public funding. Knowing that the situation is different for every family, a payment plan is provided. Some families choose to spread out their contribution by making monthly contributions over the course of the school year. Most families make a one-time contribution to the FA Support Fee investment campaign and still other families contribute more than established support fee amount. Every family’s participation, at any level, is vital to supporting the priorities of our campus.
