Announcing the New FOA Board of Directors!

Congratulations to the 2025/26 FOA Board Members! We are so excited to welcome our new and returning members to the FOA board! Our last meeting of this school year will be Tuesday, June 10th 8am in the cafeteria where we will welcome new members, say goodbye to retiring ones (thank you so much Suzanne LErario for your years of dedication to the board as Secretary and critical member!), and discuss the calendar of events for next school year. Everyone is welcome!

New this year: FOA Committee Members! If you were thinking about running for the FOA board but weren’t sure if you could commit, this year we are launching a new level of membership as FOA Committee Members. As a committee member, you only need to attend one FOA meeting per year and be a lead planner for one event. Fill out this Google form to learn more and for questions, please contact Myra.

FOA Events 2024/25

Please note: this is the tentative calendar planned at the beginning of the school year and we do our best to adhere to it, but occasionally administration will need to change dates to better accommodate school programming. Check back often for any changes. Additionally, you can import Alcott events straight to your calendar on AlcottElementary.net (click on the small download icon).

Classroom parties are planned separately by teachers, please contact your room parent for details.
