Hello Fox Cubs!

We hope your summer has been filled with sunshine, laughter, and time with the people you love most! ☀️ As we begin shifting gears for the new school year, I wanted to check in with a few updates and let you know that the Fox team is already back on campus preparing for another incredible year.

Our administrative team is officially back on site and working hard to make sure everything is ready for a smooth and exciting start to the 2025–2026 school year. From finalizing class lists to sprucing up our learning spaces, we’re getting everything in place to welcome our Cubs back with open arms!

We have a couple of upcoming events—like Meet the Teacher and our Snip Snap, School’s Back! free haircuts for kids—that we want to put on your radar so you can save the date. You’ll find more details below!

If you have any questions or need anything as we count down to the first day, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 832-375-8900—we’re here to support you every step of the way.

We can’t wait to see those smiling faces soon!

With Cub Pride,
Lakita Combs
Principal, Fox Elementary
