Dear Fisher Families,
It is an exciting time at school! We have had our Roomer 6th graders back for several weeks now, and our plans and procedures are going very well! Today, we welcome our Roomer 7th and 8th graders, Cohort B, to campus. It is so nice to have students on campus again. I am grateful to our entire staff, the district office staff, and all of you for helping us to make that happen!
In this pandemic situation, we are certainly navigating uncharted waters. Each new day seems to bring us new challenges and new information. It is imperative that you read through the entire Fisher Flyer and any other emails from school. I recognize that there is a lot of email traffic, however, it is our mode of direct communication to you all. Additionally, please refer to our website with questions as pertinent information is posted there as well.
Please note some essential dates for the next few weeks:
March 3: 7th and 8th grade Cohort B Roomers, Gate Checks begin at 8am (already started)
March 8: 7th and 8th grade Cohort A Roomers, Gate Checks begin at 8am
March 10: Rising 7th and Rising 8th grade Parent Math Meeting via Zoom, 5pm
March 15: 6th grade, Cohort B, On Ramp, Gate Checks begin at 8:15am
March 15: Teen Talk Parent Night (info included later in this Flyer)
March 22: 6th grade, Cohort A, On Ramp, Gate Checks begin at 8:15am
Next On Ramp Dates:
April 19: All Grades, Cohort B
April 26: All Grades, Cohort A
Be on the lookout in late March for an email/Google form to indicate your interest in your student joining us for the above On Ramps.
For more information on the above and additional Reopening information, check out our website at Reopening Hub.
Thank you for your attention to all of these matters. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions you may have (mlonhart@lgusd.org).
Take care and stay well.
Mary Lonhart, Principal
