Dear Fisher Families,
Happy Spring! I hope these bright, sunny days find you healthy and well. We are pleased to have added more 6th graders to our Roomers group these last two weeks. It is so fantastic to have students on campus.
Roomers Self-Symptom Checker: Fisher will no longer be using the Symptom Self-Checker email for our Roomer students each morning. Instead, we ask your children the pertinent questions each morning as they enter campus.
In preparation for next year, families received an email yesterday outlining our Electives Selection process. This information can also be found on our Fisher Website via our Elective Preferences page. Please take a moment to review all the detailed information provided to you. Preference forms are due Friday, April 2nd. Please consider joining us for a Principal's Chat on Monday, 3.29.21 at 6pm or Tuesday, 3.30.21 at 8am to review our program, preview the website and answer any questions you may have.
