Dear Fisher Families,
Thank you to our wonderful Home and School Club, under the enthusiastic direction of Heather LeRoy for the lovely, relaxing, engaging Fisher Fling on Monday, October 18th. It was so nice to see so many parents supporting our school and coming together to build community. The food, drink and company were all excellent. Thank you to everyone who helped put that wonderful Fisher Fling together for us!
For our social skill focus of the week ahead, we are encouraging students to have their cell phones “off and out of sight” when they arrive on campus each day. As a rule, cell phones are not allowed during school hours, and we would love for students to turn them off and put them away before they come on campus each day. We hope this will foster student conversation and interaction. Thank you for your support!
It is almost Halloween! Students are welcome to dress up on Friday, October 29th. There will be some lunch time fun for all! Please note that our dress code does apply, no weapons/fake weapons are allowed nor are “inflatable” costumes. Please help us all enjoy a safe and fun day at school!
Please join me, in person, for a Principal’s Chat on Friday, October 29th at 9am in the Multi-Purpose Room. Topics to be addressed will include:
Permission Click (our new system) for vaccines and volunteers
Parents on Campus - we would love your support
End of Semester 1 is December 16th
Behavior Focus
And more!
Please remember that masks are required and parents must enter and exit through the O Gate, to the right of the office.
Thank you for your continued support of Fisher! We greatly appreciate it.
Take care.
Mary Lonhart
Principal

HEALTH & WELLNESS REMINDER |
|
|
|
As the weather changes and the cold/flu season is upon us, it brings the opportunity for a few reminders. Our school protocols do not allow for any type of medication to be carried by the student without proper documentation from a doctor and logged with our health office. This includes any over counter medications such as cough drops, Advil, homeopathic remedies, etc. We would like to remind you that if your student does not feel well, please do not send them to school. If they exhibit any signs related to COVID, students will be sent home and will need to provide a negative test prior to returning to school. As a reminder, per county guidelines, rapid home tests are no longer accepted; the test must be facilitated by a professional. Regular school policy encourages children who are symptom free with no medication for 24 hours to attend (no fever or vomiting for 24 hours). Anything less, students should stay at home. Although we are in parallel with a global pandemic, these are our standard practices. We appreciate your support and interest in the wellness of all our students and staff.

Many Fisher parents, teachers, and staff came out and enjoyed the Fisher Fling at The Palms last night. It was so nice to socialize in person, with drinks, food, and raffle prizes. The Palms was a beautiful venue and their outside patios worked perfectly for our large group. |
|
We'd like to thank the many parents who contributed toward teacher and staff tickets. They were so grateful to enjoy the evening and celebrate in person with our community. |

Congratulations to our raffle winners and a big thank you to Deborah Weinstein and Eric Dunstan for peddling tickets during the night! This was a fun way to offer dance lessons, singing lessons, and 8th grade graduation perks. All raffle proceeds directly fund your students' supplies, programs, and events at Fisher.
This event was hosted by the Fisher Home & School Club and we'd like to thank Kelly Campbell for coordinating all the logistics with The Palms. Also a special thanks to several H&SC board members that put their time and energy into making this event a success: Karinn Harrington, Lillian Withrow, Jennifer Pang, Victoria Contreras-Wolfe, & Heather LeRoy.
We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
