Foxview Intermediate School

Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Vorpahl, students at Foxview have created this year's first edition of the student newspaper.

Thank you to Condon Oil Co., the Walton Family Foundation and Exxon Mobil for their recent grant to benefit Foxview's math and science programs. We support Exxon's belief that it is fundamentally important to encourage the next generation to pursue studies and careers in these fields and look forward to using the grant in innovative ways.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has recently compiled a great deal of information to help parents navigate their children’s use of technology. The following link will connect parents and guardians with information about social media use, The American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for screen time limits, internet safety information, as well as many valuable links to additional resources. There is even a 30-minute interactive e-course, “Interact!”, which provides adults tools to discuss online safety issues with their children.

Raising kids in the digital age requires parents and educators to help our students become the best digital citizens they can be. In an effort to offer valuable tips and tools that may help you navigate your child’s digital world, we will be sharing a variety of articles, resources, and videos via our weekly online messenger. One excellent resource is www.commonsensemedia.org . The website is the nation’s leading nonprofit organization committed to helping families with the ups and downs of raising kids in the digital age. The following video is a great reminder for adults and kids regarding how to use technology in the best way possible.
