Dear Fisher Families,
Thank you for your continued support and patience during these ever-changing days. We appreciate each of you as we move into Spring.
Our Fisher On Ramp survey letter will be sent to families on Friday, 4.2.21. All families, whether your student is already a Roomer or not, are encouraged to complete the survey provided.
I hope you were able to join us for one of our Principal Chats regarding Electives for the 2021-2022 school year. If not, all the needed information and the registration form for Electives is located on our website: Electives Catalog
Families also received an email last week outlining our Electives Selection process. That email can also be found here: Electives Choice Parent Letter. Please take a moment to review all the detailed information provided to you. Preference forms are due April 2nd.
With the first days of April upon us and Spring break just around the corner, I wish you all well. I hope our Spring break provides some much needed downtime, fresh air and sunshine, without screentime, for everyone!
Take care and stay well.
Mary Lonhart
Principal

FISHER AFTER-SCHOOL ATHLETICS PROGRAM
2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR

The West Valley Athletic League is postponing after school sports until the 2021-2022 school year. Due to the various school district return dates and some schools staying remote for the remainder of the school year, it is not equitable to restart our programs at this time. We look forward to seeing you next year! |
