Fishers Island School

Greetings friends! We invite you to join us for some fun in the snow at Wachusett Ski Mountain. The F.I. Community Ski Club was formed three years ago by a group of island parents who wished to create opportunities for social connection. The club is open to skiers and snowboarders of all ages and experience levels. Please see the link and registration form for additional information. You can register for as many sessions as you wish, one week prior to the event. Please email us and add your name to our mailing list if interested. Our email is FICSkiclub@gmail.com We've scheduled (5) Sessions in December, January and February and they are: Saturday - December 28, 2024 Saturday - January 4, 2025 Saturday - January 11, 2025 Saturday - February 1, 2025 Saturday - February 22, 2025 Registration. https://forms.gle/fpDx23tiZnVMyYwm9 Many thanks, and see you on the slopes!

Due to the change in concert scheduling this week, hot lunch will not be available during the school day this coming Friday. However, dinner will be available for purchase during the concert on Friday, December 13th, from 4:00 to the end of the event.

Due to the forecasted weather conditions, Fishers Island School will hold a Remote Learning Day for all students on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. We are planning for a regular "in-person" school day on Thursday, December 12th. However, based on the weather, this may turn into a delayed opening or a fully remote day. This will be communicated tomorrow as the forecast becomes more clear. Tomorrow, high school students will participate in Zoom classes and follow their typical schedule for a “C-Day.” Elementary students and parents will receive separate communication from their teacher with a plan for Wednesday's learning. Lastly, the Winter Concert and Art Show has been moved to Friday, December 13th, due to the forecasted weather conditions.

Hello Fishers Island Community: I hope that this finds you well. Due to the forecasted weather conditions, Fishers Island School will hold a Remote Learning Day for all students on Thursday, December 5th. Although there are currently no cancellations or delays with the Fishers Island Ferry, they have asked all passengers to plan accordingly for the forecasted weather. I have decided to call the Remote Learning Day with as much advanced notice as possible to help our students, families, and staff plan for this change in their typical routine. High School students will participate in Zoom classes and follow their typical schedule for a “C-Day.” Elementary students and parents will receive separate communication from their teacher with a plan for Thursday's learning. I want to remind students and families that participation in Remote Learning is mandatory. If your child cannot participate (sickness or otherwise), please report their absence as you would a typical “in-person” school day. Please reach out if you have any questions. In your service, Christian Christian Arsenault Superintendent/Principal
