FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Dear Fisher Families,

Fall is here and we are so excited for all that it brings! We are starting our second quarter and transitioning into new after school sports. Additionally, October is traditionally our time to complete our semi-annual Emergency Disaster Drill.

Our district-wide Emergency Disaster Drill will take place on Wednesday, October 20, 2021. We will follow a special schedule during the day; however, our start and end times will not change. (8:30am-2:45pm). This important drill is useful for our preparedness should we experience an emergency.

Our behavior focus next week is: Pick Up After Yourself. Hopefully, our students can recognize the importance of cleaning up after themselves so that our limited custodial staff does not have to spend extra time on this task. Thank you for your support of this important skill.

We are all looking forward to the Fisher Fling on the 18th! It will be a great opportunity to bring our learning community together and enjoy each other’s company. I hope you all can make it!

Thank you for continued support!

Take care.

Mary Lonhart

Principal
