Fiske Families,
Thank you to Jennifer Cohn and Jennifer Heintzelman for planning the 80s parent social last Friday night. It was an amazing event that brought many of us back to the days of neon, sparkles and track suits.
No iPhones or Smartwatches
Please be reminded that students are not allowed to have smartwatches or phones in the classrooms. As noted on page 19 in the Insider’s Guide to Fiske if a cell phone or smartwatch is used in school:
First time- The principal will hold the cell phone or smartwatch for the rest of the day and the student will pick it up in the office. Parents will be notified.
Second time– The principal will hold the cell phone or smartwatch for the rest of the day and the parent will be asked to pick it up at their convenience.
Third time- The principal will hold the cell phone or smartwatch for the rest of the day and meet with the parents to develop a plan
Please read the Insider’s Guide to Fiske p.19 for more information.
Music Around the World – Wednesday, May 8th
The Music Around the World concert is around the corner! All Fiske grade levels will perform a song and a dance from one of seven different countries. The popularity of this concert has outgrown the size of our gym! For the safety of all, we will hold two performances. The performances will be:
-
Families of grades K-2 students should attend the 8:45-9:45 performance
-
Families of grades 3-5 students should attend the 10:45-11:45 performance
If you have children in both the K-2 and 3-5 groupings, then please choose one performance to attend as both are identical.
