Fisher Family Update
November 6, 2026
Battle of the Books is back at Fisher School for all students in grades 3,4, and 5! We had an amazing parade this afternoon announcing the 25 books that will be on the Battle list. Students then gathered with their teammates and met their staff member coaches for the first time. They have a list of 25 books and have pledged to read at least 3 books before the Battle Tournament in February. Copies of the books are available at Fisher. Everyone is encouraged to read at school and home and to read as many of the books as possible. Once a book is completed, each student will write a brief summary, and return their book slip, and we will add a sticker to the team’s chart. The more you read, the more you know, and the more you can help the team win the Battle on February 4!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Fisher School is collecting 14 complete Thanksgiving meals to support families in need. Each meal should provide dinner for 10 people.

Please review these important guidelines regarding our school health procedures and injury policies. These guidelines help keep our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
🩹 Student Injuries & Physical Activity Restrictions
Notify the Nurse: Parents must report any physical limitations to the school nurse.
Doctor's Note for PE: Required if a student misses PE for more than one week. The note must include the exact restriction and its duration.
Morning Check-In: Any student coming to school with stitches, cast, sling, ace wrap, hard splint, air boot, or crutches must check in with the nurse before the first class.
🌳 PE and Recess Guidelines During Healing
Active Play Restrictions: Students with documented head injuries, stitches, or protective coverings (casts, splints, air boots) cannot participate in PE or active recess.
Quiet Recess Option: With the nurse's permission, students can participate in "quiet outdoor recess" (sitting outside at a designated area to read, play board games, or do puzzles with friends).
Indoor Recess: If a student cannot stay safely in the quiet area, the principal and nurse will arrange for them to stay indoors.
✅ Returning to Full Activities
Once fully healed and coverings are removed, a doctor's note must be submitted stating that the student may participate in all activities without restrictions.
Walkers will be dismissed from door #18 at 3:00pm.
