Folsom Hills Elementary

SCHOOL VISION:

In partnership with our community, we inspire and provide all students a strong foundation for lifelong love of learning and global citizenship.

SCHOOL MISSION:

At Folsom Hills Elementary, our mission is to provide a safe and positive learning environment where every student thrives. We are deeply committed to nurturing student success by fostering a culture of collaboration among our dedicated staff. Folsom Hills educators inspire perseverance as students work toward high expectations. We celebrate and honor diversity, recognizing the strength it brings to our school community. Together, we are dedicated to comprehensive social-emotional learning, ensuring that our students not only excel academically but also develop essential life skills.

Our school wide academic program is based on clearly defined essential standards and high expectations for all students academically, emotionally, and behaviorally. Staff regularly collaborate around the guaranteed and viable curriculum, seek out professional development, and provide interventions to support all students. Professional Learning Communities and their interconnected communication and collaborative strategies have redefined our approach to ensuring this vision is implemented with fidelity.

Folsom Hills Elementary School boasts a robust Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support (PBIS) system that contributes to our positive school culture and climate. In 2024, Folsom Hills was awarded the Silver Recognition Award for our implementation of PBIS for the 2023-2024 school year. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a framework that aims to create safe and effective learning environments for students. It's an evidence-based practice that supports students' social, emotional, academic, and behavioral needs. Utilizing the ""Friendly Fox Five"" (Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be Friendly, Be Productive) we acknowledge the work of students in creating a healthy and safe learning environment, with Gold Fox Awards and other school-wide incentives being used as reinforcements. Overall, Folsom Hills has a safe, healthy learning environment based on the belief that students learn to be accountable for their behavior to assure a successful school experience.

Parents and the public are encouraged to be involved with the school program through our Parent Teacher Association, School Site Council, and classroom volunteer programs CAP [ceramics], FAME [artists and composers]. The staff and parents of Folsom Hills students have worked hard to create an academically and socially rich elementary school setting, in which our students strive for social and academic success in a culturally and socioeconomically diverse society."
