Families with students that walk home have the option to pick up their student at Door #18 or allow them to walk home. Please sign this form if you give permission for your child to walk home unaccompanied by an adult.
Reminder: Per School Handbook: Only 5th grade students are allowed to ride bikes to and from school.
Picture Day for Fisher Elementary School is scheduled for Monday, October 27th. More information to follow.
Welcome back to school! I look forward to a happy, safe and healthy school year.
If you have medication for your student, please contact the health office to arrange a time to drop it off. Medication should not be sent in with your student. Please provide the prescription or over the counter medication in the original labeled packaging (we cannot accept expired medication) Please have the prescriber provide a signed medication order for the 2025-2026 school year that has also been signed by a parent or guardian.
Please remember if your child sustains an injury outside of school, please send me an email and provide a physician's note listing any accommodations or restrictions (ie excusal from recess or PE).
If your child has a current 504 plan or Health Care Plan, a copy will be sent home soon, please plan on reviewing and signing. If there is anything urgent, please contact me.
As always, please feel free to email if you have any questions or concerns that come up throughout the year at LMoyes@walpole.k12.ma.us. .

Walpole Public School App
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.
