WELCOME 2024-2025
​
We would like to extend a warm welcome to our parents and students to the ’24-’25 school year! We have a variety of programs planned that aim to enhance student experience and promote connections with our parent community. We believe that strong communication and partnership between teachers, staff and parents play a pivotal role in a student's success. We are eager to collaborate with you to ensure that our students receive the support they need and to promote a positive elementary school experience for all!
​
Who we are:
FOFPE is a non-profit 501(c)(3) foundation run by a group of volunteer parents focused on supporting and connecting the school community. This year our fund-raising efforts will go toward putting on fun school events, capital improvements, and student experiences. It is through our fundraising efforts that we are able to achieve the goals our community has established to make our public elementary school one of the top schools in Oregon!
