Dear Fisher Families,
I hope this cold snap of weather finds you warm and comfortable. This deluge of rain brings much needed water to us, and we hope will not too greatly impact those in the mountains that could be affected by slides. Please be safe and careful!
We are so excited to be welcoming our Roomer 6th graders back to campus! With the county metrics within the safe range, our Cohort A 6th graders will start on Monday! Please see information specific to this topic later in the Flyer.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility. We are grateful.
Take care and stay well.
Mary Lonhart
Principal

Dear LGUSD Families,
Based on the updated guidance from Governor Newsom and the State of California, Team LGUSD has updated our projected return dates for our 6th grade students. The adjusted case rates for Covid-19 are reported every Tuesday. If the projected return dates are altered again, we will provide you advance notice.
GRADE 6 ONLY Return Date
Cohort A: February 1
Cohort B: February 8
Additionally, students who are projected to be “Roomers” are encouraged to participate in the next COVID Testing dates. Please mark your calendars now!

For students not currently planned to return as a Roomer, the next Fisher “on-ramp” dates are March 10 and April 19. As these dates approach, you will be notified of your option to change your student from a Zoomer to a Roomer. Please contact Principal Mary Lonhart with any questions (mlonhart@lgusd.org). Thank you.
In Safety and Education Together,
Team LGUSD
