Foxboro Elementary School

Purple Star School

Foxboro Elementary School received the 2024 California Purple Star Designation

We are proud to announce that Foxboro Elementary has been selected as a 2023 Purple Star School. Purple Star schools welcome military-connected children and have staff and systems in place to help with their frequent transitions between schools. For this designation, we had to demonstrate that transition programs, such as Anchored4Life, are in place, that staff are familiar with the needs of military-connected students, and that we provide educational and social-emotional supports. We are honored to serve the children whose families serve our country, and are proud to be part of the Purple Star program.

No Excuses University

"We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to be educated in a way that prepares them for college. When schools exhibit a culture of universal achievement by believing in students, they collaborate around that belief. During collaboration, they align their standards as a team. As teams align standards, they need to assess the standards and manage the data. Then, and only then, can they pursue meaningful interventions with their students."

PBIS

"Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives. We use ‘students’ to refer to all children and youth in any educational or therapeutic setting (e.g., K-12 school, early childhood program, treatment program, juvenile justice program). Learn more about PBIS in schools, classrooms, early childhood programs and juvenile justice programs on those topic pages."

PlayWorks

"Helping Schools Rethink Recess:

For 25 years, Playworks has helped schools figure out what works well on their playgrounds.

For recess to reinforce school culture, we’ve learned that a holistic approach is needed. Here are a few of the focus areas Playworks helps schools address:

Safety
Engagement
Empowerment

Playworks brings out the best in kids, through play:

Playtime is kids’ time. But schools can and should create play environments that help kids be their best. Studies show that recess matters: a thoughtful approach to recess improves children’s physical health and social and emotional learning.

Playworks helps schools and districts make the most of recess through on-site staffing, consultative support, professional development, free resources, and more."

Foxboro Mascot

Our school colors are purple and teal. Our school mascot is the Red Fox. The red fox is by far the most common species of fox. It is 36 to 42 inches long, not including the tail, weighs about 15 pounds, and is distinguished by black ears and feet and a white tip on the tail. The coat is usually some shade of rusty-red or reddish-brown, sprinkled with light-tipped hairs. The red fox ranges across Eurasia and North Africa and from Northern Mexico to the Arctic. Within these vast zones diverse variations of the red fox have developed; those of the south are smaller and have lighter-colored coats, and those of the north are larger, with thicker and darker coats. The silver fox, valued for its black, frosted fur, is simply a variant of the red fox. The great alertness of the red fox, and its keen senses of smell, hearing, and sight, enables it to live close to human habitation without being easily noticed. Farmland with woodlots and open fields provides it with good cover and abundant rodents, especially field mice. When the red foxes have been eradicated from rural areas, populations of rodents have swelled. Red foxes were introduced to Australia to cope with its plague of previously introduced rabbits.
