Safety and Health Reminders
All visitors to Fiske must wear a mask when on the campus.
If visitors are dropping something off to the school they must call the office from their car.
All children must bring a mask, no gators, to school. It might be best to send in an extra mask in your child/children’s backpack/s. Disposable masks are available if your child/children forgets theirs at home.
All students should bring in a towel or yoga mat to sit on during snack and lunch. These will go home with students each day.
Please have your child/children dress for the weather. It is our goal to be outside for some learning opportunities, mask breaks, lunch and recess as much as possible. This means that children will need to bring rain gear on rainy days and snow gear on snowy days. Please contact our school Social Worker Sara Berenson berensons@wellelseyps.org, if you need financial assistance in getting these items.
Do not send your child to school if they are exhibiting COVID symptoms. If you have questions please email our school nurse, Betsy Hindmarsh.
If your child is sick, call the absentee line, 781-446-2299, and leave a detailed message regarding your child’s illness.
Arrival and Dismissal Plans
Arrival and dismissal times should be considerably shorter as we will only have about ½ of the students on campus on any given day. Because of this, we are strongly encouraging families to either walk, bike or use the carline when coming to school. For health and safety reasons we are trying to limit the amount of people on the property. While we understand our youngest learners and new students will need to be walked onto the campus at the beginning of the school year, we ask that you work to have your child become more independent as the year progresses.
