Fisher Family Update

Dear Fisher Families,

Thank you for taking the time to attend this week’s parent-teacher conferences. Your active participation and engagement in your student's education is greatly appreciated, and it makes a significant difference in the overall success of our students.

Your presence allowed us to have meaningful discussions about your student's progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. We appreciate your commitment to your student’s education and we believe a strong partnership between school and home is crucial for the success of our students. Family involvement in these conferences strengthens this collaboration. Working together, we can provide the best possible learning experience for your student.

Once again, thank you for your active participation and dedication to your student's education. We look forward to our continued collaboration and supporting your student's growth and development, academically and social emotionally, throughout the school year.

If you still need to schedule a conference or have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your student’s teacher or me. We look forward to seeing more of our families next Thursday night from 6pm-8pm

Please read through this edition of the Fisher Family Update for important and fun upcoming dates and events.

Enjoy the weekend,

Brian

Hello Fisher families. I am so excited to be a part of the Fisher community from an educators side as well as a parent's side. I have three children, two of which are in the fourth grade here at Fisher and one at Johnson Middle School. Prior to my twins, I received my Masters in Early Education and worked as a teacher for 10 years. When I am not at school I also am a realtor and you can usually find me at the ninja gym or shuttling my children to all of their activities. I am so excited to see what the rest of the year brings!
