Fox Chase Elementary

A Message from FC's Administration

Fox Chase Families,

Hello and welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!

 

I cannot believe the summer is coming to a close and the school year is quickly approaching. My name is Jeff Rainaldi and I am the principal here at Fox Chase Elementary School.  

 

If you are new, welcome!

We are so happy you are here and part of our family.  Our office staff, Ms. Adorjan, and Mrs. Bartle, are available and happy to help with any questions you may have, so please don’t hesitate to call or email.  

 

At Fox Chase, we like to begin each year with a fresh start and a fun theme! This year's theme is “Work Hard”.  It is the third year in our four-year theme.  (Our Fox Chase mission is P.A.W.S.- Practice Kindness, Aim High, Work Hard, Show Respect) 

 

Our weekly newsletters, sent on Thursday evenings, are filled with all the information you need to know for the week/ weeks ahead.

 

As we are busy preparing for school, I know you are prepping at home. Here are few helpful tips that we have seen benefit all students:

  

Follow our website and Facebook pages (Fox Chase and Fox Chase Home and School) for events and important information.

 

On our first day, we will have our red carpets rolled out ready to meet and greet each student.  We are VERY excited about our new goals and initiatives this year and hope to create a memorable and successful year for all students.

 

Best Regards,

Jeff Rainaldi
