Dear Fisher Families,
Thank you all for your continued cooperation and support with our testing and COVID safety measures. We appreciate your commitment to our students’ and staff health and well-being.
Our “Be Seen, Be Heard” assemblies were well received by students and staff. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to support our students in this way.
We hope you can join the Parent Forum on the LGUSD Homework Policy. Information for that Zoom is included below in this newsletter. Please know that this is your opportunity for input on this district-wide policy.
As always, we appreciate your continued support.
Take care.
Mary Lonhart
Principal

It is with great honor that we announce that our fearless leader, Mary Lonhart, has earned the prestigious Association of California School Administration (ACSA) Region 8 Middle School Principal of the Year! This past Monday morning, our Superintendent Paul Johnson visited our Fisher staff in the quad to make the exciting announcement.
Congratulations, Mary! This acknowledgment and award is well deserved!
We love you! Our faculty and staff could not be more proud of Mary.
Your Fisher Family

HOMEWORK POLICY - PARENT FORUM TONIGHT |
|
The LGUSD District Office is inviting parents to participate in a Homework Policy forum tonight at 7pm on Zoom. A slideshow will be shared and then the meeting will be open for input.

This week students participated in the Be Seen and Heard assembly program.
This program is designed to create an age-appropriate, safe and engaging environment where students will learn about the difference between safe and unsafe touch, and the importance of having trusted heroes.
It is important to continue this conversation at home. To support a continued conversation about this difficult topic, the program provides these resources and tools.
