Welcome to Fisher!
Kindergarten is a fun and exciting year for your child! There is a lot to learn. It is our goal to make learning exciting and still have a lot of fun.
Arrival
At 8:20 students are welcomed into the school to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. Students arriving after 8:40 are tardy and will need to be signed in at the office.
Dismissal
School is dismissed at 3:30 pm. Please let us know on the first day of school how your child is going to get home. (i.e. bus, Kids Care, car line pick-up or walk pick-up). If for any reason there is a change in this routine, we MUST be notified in writing, Dojo message or a phone call MUST be made to the school office before 3:00 p.m.
A Kindergartner’s Day
P.E. and Spanish
Many of these activities will be included daily in their schedule!
Math Stations
Snack
Please send your child to school with a healthy snack,
they should be able to open it and clean up after themselves.
Examples of foods that have been proven to be effective “brain food” include fruit, vegetables, and whole grain crackers.
The district wellness policy will not allow cookies, candy, or chips, as snack. Water bottles are encouraged. Sport caps work best.
Breakfast and Lunch
Breakfast is available for the students. Also, the children can choose to bring their lunch to school or get a school lunch. Please read the menu for the month and review the choices with your child for that day.
Students eat for 25 minutes
and have 20 minutes for
recess.
Quiet Time
Kindergarten is a year of growth and transition. Our day is full of academics and play.
There is a short quiet time allotted for the children. They will sit quietly and draw, color or read a book.
Washable
Markers
Learning Labs
Young children learn through play. We believe that incorporating play into weekly routines allows for the children to learn valuable social and emotional lessons about themselves and others.
We also use literature and discussion to encourage conflict resolution and
pro-social behavior.
Technology
In kindergarten, we begin learning the basics of the keyboard, how to log on and use games to practice academic skills.
Be Safe, � Be Kind,� Be a Leader
All Fisher Elementary students, staff, parents, and families are expected to be safe, kind and a leader. These expectations are posted in hallways, bathrooms, classrooms, and even in the gym. We teach the kindergarten students these expectations and practice them everyday. We encourage safe, kind and leadership behavior by rewarding those who are examples of positive behavior.
Expectations
What you can expect from us:
Your Kindergartener and School
“Did you do a Go Noodle today? Show me
. “What made you laugh today?
“What was something kind you did for someone today.”
There are many ways you can help your child be successful in school.
