Hello Fox Families!

What an amazing first week it has been! Our campus has been buzzing with energy as students settled into routines, built new friendships, and began diving into learning. From morning greetings to afternoon goodbyes, our Cubs have shown excitement, kindness, and curiosity. We’re so proud of how quickly they’ve embraced the new school year, and we’re looking forward to all the adventures ahead. Thank you for your support in making this a wonderful week.

Starting Monday, students will walk themselves to class. Our staff will be stationed in the hallways to offer assistance if any student needs help finding their way or getting settled.

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

With Cub Pride,
Lakita Combs
Principal, Fox Elementary
