Kindergarten Welcome

May 2, 2025

Dear Fiske Kindergarten Families, 

Welcome, Kindergarten class of 2025-2026. The Fiske community is thrilled to welcome your child/children to school. Kindergarten is a wonderful year filled with both social and academic learning. We look forward to having your child/children at Fiske to be part of our Fisketastic community of learners.

Our  Kindergarten Classrooms have both a teacher and teacher assistant to guide your child throught their Kindergarten year. The Fiske Kindergarten is a full day program; on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, students arrive at 8:30 a.m. and are dismissed at 3:05 p.m. On Wednesdays, students arrive at the same time, but are dismissed at 12:00 p.m. August 27-September 5 are 12:00 p.m. dismissal for all Kindergarten students.

During a school week, your child will participate in Music, Art, Health & Fitness, Spanish and Library. Our school nurse, Mrs. Kayla Lacerra, is here to help your child with their health needs during the school day. Our school secretary, Ms. Sue Drayton, is always happy to answer any logistical questions you may have. At Fiske, we are all working to create a smooth transition and positive learning environment for your Kindergartener.  

To help with the transition we have some important dates for our Kindergarten Families;

• Kindergarten Orientation Night on Thursday, May 15 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. This event is for parents/guardians to learn more about Fiske School and our Kindergarten program.
• Wednesday, May 21st– K Screening- Parent/Guardians will be able to sign up for an assessment time at the Kindergarten Orientation Night or by contacting the office.
• Wednesday, May 28th from 1:00-2:00 p.m.- Kindergarten Students are invited to visit a Kindergarten classroom.

I look forward to meeting all the Fiske Kindergarten families and working together to build strong, confident children who continue to develop a love of lifelong learning and community. Please feel free to call me at 781-446-6265 if you have any questions.  

Sincerely,

Rachel McGregor
