Welcome to Mr. Foust's Page

Hello Everyone,

The year has gotten off to a great start.  The sixth graders are running at full speed.  We have done many fun and exciting activities in our math and science classes, and we have many more planned.  I will need help from some parents for different classroom activities and experiments, so please e-mail me if you are interested. 

On Tuesday we will be having our open house here at DCMS.  We'd love to see all of you parents!!!  Also, your children would love to show you what they've been up to at school.  We have MANY different projects and assignments hanging on the walls for everyone to see:-)  Come check them out and let us know what you think.

I will also be sending out grades for each student on every Friday. Therefore,  parents will know the grades and assignments of their children every week:-)  If you haven't already turned in the e-mail address you want me to send the grades to, please get that to the office as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or suggestions, you can e-mail me at bfoust@mcsdga.net
