Dear Fisher Families,
We have officially completed our fourth 1st day of school! All of our Roomers are now on campus for their respective cohort weeks. This has been a team effort, and I am grateful for every member of our team: Hybrid Aides, Assistant Principals, Teachers, Custodial Staff, Food Services, District Office Staff, Fisher Office Staff, Instructional Aides, our Tech Team, and of course, our Students and Parents/Guardians. We could not have done this without the efforts of all of these people. Thank you!
On Ramps: On Ramps are your opportunity to add your student to our on-campus instructional program. For your child to be included, you must respond to the appropriate Google form when they are sent.
For those 6th grade parents that have ALREADY responded to our Google form a few weeks ago, the On Ramps dates are:
3/15 6th grade B
3/22 6th grade A
Our next On Ramps, for all grades are:
4/19 All Grades Cohort B*
4/26 All Grades Cohort A*
A Google form and email will be sent to you at the end of March for your completion for the April On Ramp dates. The form will also be included in the Fisher Flyer. You must respond to that inquiry for your child to be included on their respective On Ramp date.
Believe it or not, we are already planning for next year! We are excited to look ahead to the 21.22 school year. Please note the important date:
3/29, Electives Selection Week
Prior to March 29th, you will receive information about the electives offered for the 21.22 school year. Additional information will also be posted on the Fisher website. This information is not yet available, but I wanted you to know the date for your planning purposes.
Thank you for your attention to all these important matters. I appreciate your continued support!
Take care and stay well.
Mary Lonhart
Principal

SELF SYMPTOM MORNING EMAIL CHECK NO LONGER REQUIRED!!
In an effort to streamline our morning processes, we will be asking students the “Self Symptom Check” questions when they arrive at their gate each morning. Please continue to be vigilant in checking with your child daily about their health, and please keep your child at home if they are exhibiting ANY of the COVID-19 virus symptoms.
Please remember, if your child exhibits any of the following symptoms, they must remain at home: fever 99.5 or higher, chills, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or loss of taste or smell.
