Foothill Elementary

Meet the Principal!

 

Welcome to Foothill Elementary School, the proud home of the Eagles! I am excited to welcome you to our wonderful, family-oriented school community and serve as your principal. At Foothill Elementary, we are focused on providing a top-notch education with a whole-child approach, encompassing mind, body, and character. We are dedicated to providing a student-centered environment for all of our students, growing a college and career readiness mindset. We believe that every student should reach their potential–every day. 

 

Our knowledgeable and passionate staff are dedicated to growing Eagle-minded students who SOAR. Academic and social-emotional growth are at the heart of every decision on our campus. Our collaborative campus commitment to growing students' awareness in college and careers, supports our students in their future journey at Sierra Junior High/High School and beyond. 

 

Our tight-knit, mountain school has close to 600 students enrolled. Our parents play a pivotal role as partners in education, dedicating countless hours to classrooms and participating in our Parent Faculty Association (PFA) events. This strong partnership between home and school is one Foothill Elementary’s greatest assets. We encourage our parents and students to become involved in our community and to make a difference each and every day in one another’s lives. 

 

We encourage all of our students to become involved on campus and to engage in co-curricular activities to enhance their school experience and civic-mindedness. Your child’s academic and elementary school success are our top priorities, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher for any student needs. I look forward to an amazing school year filled with growth and success.

 

Sincerely,

 

Jamie Swisegood, Ed.D

Foothill Elementary Principal
