Hello Fisher Families,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable vacation. I enjoyed being home with my family and the quieter holiday season this year. As we look forward to the second half of our school year, please know that we continue to work diligently to meet your child’s needs, both educationally and emotionally.
Our semester ends on Friday, January 15th. Report cards will be emailed home on Thursday, January 21st. The week immediately following the end of our semester includes a Monday holiday (1.18.21), in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Our holiday week schedule will be shared with you all shortly. Thank you for your flexibility around these holiday weeks.
Our Board of Trustees will continue to evaluate our return plans and in turn, I will continue to keep you informed of any plans moving forward. Should we get the “return to school” directive, I will hold several Principal Chats as well as include valuable information in upcoming newsletters.
We are grateful that we can again offer the “Be Seen and Heard 2.0” presentation, with Victor Pacini, to our students. More information will be sent on Friday regarding this valuable assembly.
As always, thank you for your continued support. We are grateful.
Take care and stay well.
Mary Lonhart
Principal
