As construction gets underway, we are excited to continue engaging with families about plans for Foster School, which is expected to open in fall 2026 in the Fifth Ward. See below for two opportunities to be a part of the school’s historic opening and to have your voice heard! Please know that if these don’t fit your skillset or availability, there will be more opportunities for involvement in the future.
Foster School Transition Committee
Details about the Foster School Transition Committee were given at the October 7 Committee of the Whole meeting (watch recording). This committee will be asked to plan for and support the transition of students and families from their current schools into the future Foster School community.
The committee:
- Will help the new principal with decisions regarding Foster School and in forming sub-committees to determine new and prospective family engagement, out-of-school program designs to support a STEM focus, celebrating and honoring the legacy of the 5th Ward and Foster School inside the school walls, and other aspects of the school culture and environment as they are identified.
- Will be made up of parents/caregivers, content experts, community members, organization representatives, and District 65 administrators and staff
- Will meet once or twice a month for 90 minutes at a time in the evenings (7:00PM - 8:30PM). The kick-off meeting is set for Wednesday, November 13 from 7:00 - 8:30 PM in the JEH Board Room.
