Fisher Family Update

Dear Fisher Families,

What a wonderful first week it has been for our Kindergarten students! We have seen lots of smiles throughout the building, and our newest Fisher students are already learning the routines, getting comfortable, and adapting well to their new school experience. We are so proud of them!

A reminder that Curriculum Night is next Wednesday. Please see the details below for more information. While you are here for Curriculum Night, please take a moment to vote for our School Council Parent Representative. The ballot box will be located in the main hallway. Also in the main hallway, you will find our Reading and Math Specialists. Please stop by to introduce yourself! They will be available to share information about their roles and answer any questions you may have.

Finally, a reminder that next Friday, September 18th, is our first Early Release Day. Students will be dismissed at 11:55 a.m. If your child will have a dismissal change that day, please send a note to their teacher.

Have a great weekend!

Brian
