Dear Fisher Families,
Thank you to those of you that could join us for the Los Gatos United Against Hate Walk. It was so powerful to see so many families, united together, in a positive, common message. I am grateful to our Superintendent Paul Johnson, our Board Members, our students and our staff that joined in the effort and was so impressed with the enthusiastic crowd.
For our Behavior Focus of the Week, we are encouraging proper bathroom etiquette. We ask that students keep the toilets and urinals free from trash and other debris, that students flush the toilet after use and that garbage is disposed of properly into the trash. Additionally, we ask that only students that need to use the restroom are in the restroom. Friends should wait outside. Thank you for your support!
It is almost Thanksgiving which provides us all with time to reflect and give thanks. A few things that I am thankful for this holiday season are: the health and well being of my family, the support and kindness of the entire Fisher team, the enthusiasm and joy our students bring to campus and the continued progress toward “normal school”. I hope that next week’s holiday break gives you all the opportunity to rest, relax and enjoy time with your loved ones.
Take care.
Mary Lonhart
Principal

Please complete the online enrollment process by no later than December 8, 2021. Parents are encouraged to meet this deadline so your child's 9th grade enrollment is not delayed and so you may receive the communications from Los Gatos High School in January 2022 regarding course selection for next year.
