Dear Fisher Families,

We are in for a busy week! November is moving quickly, and there is still so much to do as we head toward the holiday season. I hope all of you have a wonderful conference with your child’s teacher. It always warms my heart when I step into a classroom and see students eager to share what they’re learning.


I also have some exciting news! In partnership with the Knights of Columbus, St. Francis Council #4401, will be bringing winter coats to Fisher this week. On Thursday and into the evening, families who may find it difficult to purchase a coat this winter are welcome to stop by. We will have coats available for children in need.


Your child signed their Parent Compact this week and you will have an opportunity to sign your part at parent/teacher conferences. At Fisher Elementary, we believe that student success is built through a strong partnership between parents, students, and teachers. If you have suggestions or ideas, feel free to share them by returning a marked-up copy to your child’s teacher.


Picture Retake Day – November 9th
If you’d like to order photos before retake day, visit mylifetouch.com and use the code EVTQ28Z98. Students who are retaking photos and previously purchased a package must bring their original package to exchange, as replacements cannot be printed without it. The photographers will be leaving by 10:30 am.


Upcoming Dates to Remember

  • November 9 - 13: Scholastic Book Fair

  • November 9: Picture Retake Day

  • November 12 - 1/2 day - Dismissal at noon

  • November 25–29: No School – Thanksgiving Break

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership. Together, we make Fisher a wonderful place to learn and grow.

ONLY FOR ASD PARENTS - DROP OFF- PICK UP

We would like to share an important update regarding bus drop-off and pick-up procedures.

The three buses that previously entered the building through Door 8 (back ramp door) will now enter through Door 11 (door near the elevator). As we recently learned, this adjustment is being made to ensure a safer option for our students while also helping to reduce traffic congestion during arrival and dismissal.


Our shared goal is to ensure that Fisher Elementary remains a safe environment for all students. These adjustments and everyone's cooperation help us make student safety our top priority.

Book Fair THIS week

Scholastic Book Fair will be taking place the week of November 9th - 13th

We've got the Book Fair right around the corner! I've slotted our day to go on Wednesday at 1:30-2:00! (I will also allot time for our friends that aren't available on Wednesday)

Please keep in mind that the book fair is a fully cashless event. You will need to load their e-wallets in order for them to purchase a book.

We also have a donation opportunity called "Share the Fair" which will allow all students to purchase a book! Please donate if you can!
