Fiske Falcon

Fiske Families,

On April 5th we are delighted to be welcoming all our K-5 students back to Fiske 5 days a week. We will also be welcoming some of our returning RLS students! Parents/Guardians of  Grade 3-5 students please remember to have your child/children bring in their COVID saliva sample on Monday, April 5th.  Thank you

On Wednesday we had an all school assembly that focused on the importance of community.  We also reviewed our safety protocols we use each day to assure the health and safety of all.  We discussed mask wearing, social distancing and handwashing.   Please take a moment to ask your child/children to review these with you before coming to school on Monday.

Earlier this week parents/guardians received a communication regarding new arrival and dismissal plans.  For the safety of all be sure to read this plan before Monday morning.  Please share this document with anyone who will be responsible for dropping off or picking up your child/children.  

Arrival:  Arrival will begin at 8:15 a.m. to accommodate the extra cars that will be in the car line.

Bus Students

  • Bus students will be met by a Fiske staff member when their bus arrives at Fiske

  • Bus students will be walked to their designated lines by a Fiske staff member

Walkers

  • All students who are walking to school should proceed to their class line via the PRIMARY playground. We ask that grade 3-5 students DO NOT walk through the lower parking lot as there are cars, buses and service vehicles driving through the lot at arrival and dismissal time.

  • Parents/guardians who are walking their children to school are asked to drop their kids off at the front of the school and let them walk to their class  lines.  Please do not linger on the playgrounds as there will be the potential of several more people on the campus because of the full return of students. 

Carline

  • Students are allowed to exit their cars at 8:15 a.m.

  • K, 1, 2, 4, and 5 Students should walk to their class lines using the primary playground

  • Grade 3 students should line up at the front entrance of the school.

Dismissal: Announcements begin at 3:02 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 11:58  on Wednesdays

To make our new dismissal procedure run smoothly we must have each child’s accurate daily dismissal plan.  If the plan submitted to your child’s teacher has changed then a Change of Dismissal Form must be filled out and brought to the classroom teacher on the morning of the change.  Please contact the office if you need more Change of Dismissal Forms.

Bus Students

  • Bus students will be called from their classrooms to line up for the bus.  Students will be escorted by Fiske Staff to their bus lines.

  • Bus students will be brought to their bus to sit in their assigned seats.

Walkers- Parents/guardians please be at the front of the school building by 3:00 p.m. to expedite the dismissal process.

  • Walkers will be called to exit their classrooms with a staff member and walk to the primary playground if they are leaving via Cedar Street, or to the front of the school building if they are leaving via Hastings Street.  If leaving from the front of the school building students will line up at their currently designated class spots for parents/guardians to meet them and start walking home.

  • Walking Parents/guardians are asked to immediately leave the campus with their child/children to allow for the carline students to be called for dismissal.  

Carline

  • Carline students will be called to exit their classrooms with a staff member and walk to the front of the school building to their currently designated class spots.

  • Students will be dismissed to their car once the line of vehicles has stopped and a teacher indicates for the students to walk to their car.

Staff Snacks

Thank you to the O’Reilly Family  for providing snacks this week for our staff.  Thank you to the Kennedy Family for providing snacks for our staff last week.  Both weeks the cart was filled with a variety of snacks  that were enjoyed by the Fiske Staff.  We continue to be grateful for your support.
