Hello Fisher Families!
We are thrilled to see the donation bins filling up in front of Fisher each morning! In line with our Strategic Plan, our Service Above Self Project has begun. We are pleased our students have the opportunity to support others in our community and feel the sense of pride that service brings. Please look for more detailed information in the Flyer.
The Electives Selection Process has changed. Your child will be choosing their elective in Flex on April 7th. Our Electives website is up and running and is full of valuable information that we encourage you to review with your child:
For our current 6th and 7th graders, please be on the lookout for a Residency Verification email. Verification is due by April 8, 2022. For our current 8th grade families, this email was sent to you in error. There is no need for our current 8th grade families to complete this requirement for high school.
Thank you for your continued support!
Take care and stay well.
Mary Lonhart
Principal
