Fiske Falcon
Dear Fiske Families,
A big Fisketastic thank you to all of our teachers for hosting back to school night. It was wonderful to see so many parents and caregivers come to learn about Fiske and the work of our PTO. Teachers’ slideshows will be shared for those who were not able to attend. Please use this link to see the principal’s presentation.
Emergency Evacuation Drill
Your child’s safety is our number 1 concern at Fiske. We practice fire drills and bus evacuations throughout the year. In addition, students participate in two emergency evacuation drills. Teachers will discuss with their students what to do in the event we need to evacuate the building or playground. At times we will stay in our classrooms, or leave the building as quickly as possible through the nearest exit. Other times we may need to enter the building quickly. These drills are intended to help students know what to do and where to go if there is a “dangerous/unsafe situation” that requires us to leave, or enter, our school immediately.
After school STEM enrichment
Each year the Wellesley Recreation Department and the Fiske Office Staff work together to create after school STEAM enrichment programs. Please find the description of these classes attached. Registration can be found online at wellesleyrec.org. Search by Activity #. Please note that you will need to log in to sign up for classes. If you don’t have a user account, you will have to call (781) 235-2370 and the Recreation Department will create a new account for you. You can also call (781) 235-2370 to register.
