Fisher Family Update
October 6, 2023

Dear Fisher Families,
The teachers and I would like to extend our gratitude to all of you for attending last night’s Curriculum Night. Your presence helped to make the evening a great success, and we appreciate your commitment to your student's education.
Curriculum Night is a valuable opportunity for us to share important information about our curricular and educational goals and expectations. The partnership between home and school is instrumental in the success of our students and we look forward to working with you throughout the year to provide each child with the very best educational experience possible.
If you were unable to attend last night’s program and would like to learn more about the curriculum for your child(ren)’s grade level(s), or if you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher or me and will be happy to speak with you.
Once again, thank you for your presence and your ongoing support.
Enjoy the long weekend,
Brian

Parent Teacher Conferences
We look forward to having conversations with our students' families in just a few weeks. Our conversations will focus on your student's transition to their new classroom, academic and social emotional progress and our learning goals for the year. Please come to the meeting ready to share about your child's experience so far and some goals you may have for your student this year.
Please choose a date and time from the link below to schedule a 10 minute conference with your student's teacher. The teachers are listed ALPHABETICALLY, you will need to scroll down to find the teacher name you are looking for. Please double check that you are signing up for the correct teacher. A virtual option (zoom call or phone call) will be on November 2rd only, the other dates are in person. If you are scheduling conferences for more than one student, please allow time between them to get to the next classroom.
Cellular Phones/Electronic Devices
Per the Elementary School Handbook - Students may not use cellular phones, smart watches, or other electronic devices during the day. If students need to have one of the above devices for an out of school purpose, the device must be kept turned off and remain in the backpack. If a student is found to have an electronic device in his or her possession, outside of the backpack, it will be kept in the office until a parent is able to pick it up.
Absence Line Reminder
If your student will be absent or tardy for any reason, call 508-660-7234 and press 1 to leave a message, you do not need to speak to somebody in the main office. Please state the reason for the student(s) absence (illness, medical appointment, personal, or will be tardy). If we do not have a reason noted for the absence, you will receive an automated phone call and email. This is for student safety to ensure that all are accounted for.
