Dear Fisher Families,
Thank you to those of you that were able to attend Back To School Night. While it was a very warm evening, it was lovely to have our school community together again. I hope you were able to view all of our videos, posted on our website, to learn important information about your child’s classes.
Cross Country and Girls’ Soccer are in full swing! It is great to have our Fisher athletics program up and running again. Thanks to Mark Mercer and the LG Recreation Department for your hard work!
Thank you all for your continued support around our COVID efforts, including contact tracing, modified quarantines and student testing. On our website, you will find two key links should your child need to or choose to participate in COVID testing through the district.
If your child is vaccinated, please consider sharing a copy of your child’s vaccination record with us. We would greatly appreciate it!
Enjoy the rest of the week and remember that Monday, September 6th is our Labor Day Holiday. That schedule is posted on our website calendar:
Take care and stay well.
Mary Lonhart, Principal

Winchester Boulevard Class IV Bikeway Project Update
The Winchester Boulevard Class IV Bikeway Project is designed to improve safety for people walking, biking, and driving along the corridor and to transform Winchester Boulevard into a street that provides comfortable bicycle and pedestrian facilities, connecting bicyclists to more destinations and encouraging more bicycling trips!
This project will:
- Protect bike lanes (Class IV) between Blossom Hill Road and Albright Way;
-
Remove one of the northbound lanes;
- Construct ADA curb ramps at multiple intersections;
- At the Blossom Hill Road intersection, add a green bike box and two-stage bike left-turn box for cyclists turning left from southbound Santa Cruz to BHR.
- Remove the westbound free right-turn from BHR to Santa Cruz.
- Add shark teeth yield markings and new crosswalks;
- At the Daves Avenue intersection, remove the southbound right turn lane to allow the bike lane to continue through the intersection. Add a raised median to lower vehicle speeds for right turns.
- At the Lark Avenue intersection, remove travel lanes, tighten right turn radius, add new crosswalk and pedestrian markings, add buffer bike lanes, and improve signage;
- Add “Two-Stage Turn box” at Mariposa Avenue and Wimbledon Drive
Construction Schedule and Update:
As a part of the Town’s FY 2020/21 Street Repair and Resurfacing Project, the contractor, “Pavement Coatings” completed isolated asphalt repair work on Winchester Boulevard the week of August 16th. They will be performing crack sealing on Friday, September 9th and Monday, September 13th. Resurfacing work should be completed by the end of September and the installation of Class IV bikeways will start in early October. All construction activities are expected to be completed by the end of October.
