Hello Fisher Families,
I hope you are able to join us for Back To School Night and Meet & Greet tomorrow at 5pm. Our evening begins at 5pm with a brief presentation by me, Principal Mary Lonhart, and our Home and School Club President, Heather LeRoy. From there, parents are welcome to say hello to the child’s team of teachers and mingle with other parents.
Additionally, please take some time to review your child’s teacher videos posted on our website. These videos will provide you with the content information, classroom expectations and more for your child’s classes.
Your child brought home a flyer on Monday, with an outline of their classes and an overview of the Back to School Night evening. Please bring that flyer with you so you can find your child’s teachers. Further, we also sent the Back to School Night flyer in an independent email on Monday, 8.23.21.
We hope you can join us!
Take care,
Mary Lonhart, Principal

As you may have read in last week's Fisher Flyer, we are looking to hire two lunchtime helpers. In addition to this support we are recruiting parents to volunteer to be Parents On Campus. These parents act as a positive presence on campus providing extra eyes and ears to affirm positive behavior and support appropriate fun at lunch.
We are offering a POC training on Monday August 30th from 9:15 to 10:00am. In order to expedite getting folks cleared to be out during lunch, parents are encouraged to bring copies of TB clearance as well as proof of vaccination to this training.
Hope to see you next week!
Paul Brennan
Assistant Principal

Shannon Pedestrian and Bikeway Improvement Project |
Parents are encouraged to share their input for Safe Route to School projects such as this Shannon Pedestrian and Bikeway Improvement Project!
In the upcoming community meeting on August 25, at 6:00pm, staff will review the latest design for the new pedestrian and bicycle connection on Shannon Road from Los Gatos Boulevard to Cherry Blossom Lane. Please share your support and input to help solidify the Town’s commitment to bicycle and pedestrian safety efforts for students!
This project will greatly benefit the community and students as it is located on the route to Fisher Middle School, Louise Van Meter Elementary School, Blossom Hill Elementary School, and Los Gatos High School. Providing a safe and direct connection to schools is a priority in this project. We encourage you to attend, learn more, and provide input about the pedestrian and bikeway design alternatives. Public participation is vital to the project’s success!

Our first Music Booster General meeting will be held Monday August 30th at 7pm. Look to our newsletter for more information.

On October 1st we will have our first Fall concert. Stay tuned for more information, but make sure to save the date.
We are still in need for some volunteer help. We are looking for help Choir Uniform Coordinator and Orchestra Uniform Coordinator. In this role, the Coordinator would help students get measured for uniforms, help Music Boosters order correct quantities and styles, and then help distribute uniforms to students.
We are especially looking for a Secretary to help us keep minutes at our meetings. Our first meeting is Monday August 30th at 7pm and we need this vital role to make our meetings a success. Please email music_boosters@lgusd.org if you think you can help.

Los Gatos High School welcomes families to Friday night football games. We love the community spirit! We respectfully ask for all students coming from middle and elementary schools to be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Tickets will only be sold to parent/guardian. We also ask that students not bring balls to play with. We have a section in the stands where younger students can sit and enjoy the game together.
Also, as is custom throughout the league, we have a "no re-entry" football game policy, unless a student is accompanied by a parent or guardian to the game upon return.
We expect students who ride a bike or skateboard to the game to lock their bikes or skateboards before entering. Skateboard racks are located on the side of the LGHS science building, across from the entrance to Helm Field. Please bring your own lock in order to secure your skateboard to the rack. Thank you very much.
