Dear Fiske Families,
Parent/teacher conferences will begin this coming week and the following week. Please remember that Thursday, November 2 is an early release day for conferences. Teachers have been working diligently to prepare for these conferences in order to share information about each student. Thank you teachers!
It is our goal to keep all students safe at Fiske. If your child/children walk to school, please remind them to cross at the crosswalk and wait for the crossing guard to give them a signal to walk across the street. Thank you
A message from our Nurse about screenings
At this time of the year I am beginning my required school screenings (vision K-5, hearing K-3, and height & weight – grades 1 and 4). I will send a letter to you in SNAP if I notice anything that requires a vision or hearing follow up. The required height and weight measurements for first and fourth grade students are for statistical purposes only for the MA DPH. Postural screenings 5th grade will take place in the spring.
Physical Exams:
Please continue to upload updated physicals for your student to the SNAP Parent Portal.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Kayla
