ABOUT THE SCHOOL/DEPARTMENT
This year Foster became one of the first STEM elementary schools in the district, which included the addition of 1 to 1 iPads.
In August 2004, Foster Elementary started the first two-way dual language program in Jefferson County. The goal of this 2-way immersion is for students, by 6th grade, to be bilingual and biliterate in both Spanish and English. Research strongly supports this model as the most effective in achieving our goal of students graduating from high school with choices. We continue to offer parents the choice of a traditional program or the dual language program for their students, although the dual language program always fills quickly.
