Fisher Family Update

Dear Fisher Families,

I hope you had a wonderful summer filled with rest, fun, and time with family and friends. As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, our staff is rested, rejuvenated, and excited to welcome students back to Fisher School. We are committed to providing your child with the very best educational experience—one that inspires curiosity, growth, and success.

Please take a few moments to read through this newsletter for important updates, upcoming meetings, and events as we kick off a great new school year together.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Brian

We are looking forward to welcoming parents and guardians to Fisher School's Curriculum Night on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. Teachers will be sharing curriculum expectations along with information specific to the classroom. Parents and guardians will also have time to ask general questions. Any questions specific to a child should be reserved for a more confidential setting. The Curriculum Nights at all of the Walpole Elementary Schools are for Parents and Guardians only. Students, other family members, and guests should not attend. Thank you for your understanding

Schedule:

6:00-6:30 Families with Last Name Beginning with A-L

6:45-7:15 Families with Last Name Beginning with M-Z

*If you have more than one child, email the teacher for an exception to the assigned times.

Walkers will be dismissed from door #18 at 3:00pm. Parents are expected to meet their students outside of Door 18. Students are not allowed to cross driveways unattended. This is a change from last year. Due to safety concerns, parents are not allowed to park in the Fisher School parking lots to retrieve their children.

For this coming school year, we are asking families to download the WPS app. We will be reserving SMS text messaging for urgent messages only. When sending non-urgent messages to families, we will be using the Live Feed as the delivery tool (through the WPS App). You will receive a detailed email from our tech department with further information and instructions.

Urgent alerts are considered to be "must read right now" messages, such as school closings, late buses, absence notifications, and emergencies. Non urgent alerts are considered to be reminders for spirit days, special events after school, etc.
