Fiske Families,

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10! Please join me in thanking our teachers for the amazing work they do for our Fiske Falcons! 

 

Join us for the 2024 Fiske S.T.E.A.M. Fair on Sunday, May 5th @ 4-5:30 pm in the Fiske gymnasium

We have over 40 Fisketastic students who will be sharing their S.T.E.A.M. projects this weekend! Come join us to see their discoveries and celebrate the many ways that everything we do combines Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math! 

 
Music Around the World

Join us on Wednesday, May 8th for Music Around the World. The popularity of this concert has outgrown the size of our gym! Given our limited capacity, we will hold two performances. The performances will be:

  • Families of grades K-2 students –  8:45-9:45a.m.

  • Families of grades 3-5 students – 10:45-11:45a.m.  

Please come to only 1 of the performances as both are the identical shows and we want to have enough room for all who want to enjoy the concert.

 

Student Placement 2024-2025

As we look forward to next year, we are starting the student placement process.  During this process your child’s teacher will meet with the placement team that includes special educators, ELL teachers, Math and Literacy Specialists, school psychologist, school social worker/adjustment counselor and principal to determine class placement. Only if you have essential information to share relative to your child’s placement that is either new, or your child’s teacher may not be aware of, do you need to send me an email (mcgregorr@wellesleyps.org) by Wednesday, May 15th.  An email is not required for your child/children as our placement team will collaborate to assure each child is in a compatible class with at least one friend.  Please know, we do not accept requests for teachers. For students who are moving to Hunnewell, we will be consulting with the Hunnewell staff on placement.

 

FYI- MCAS Dates for 2024

Thank you to our Fifth graders who worked incredibly hard on their math MCAS this week.  Next week our fourth grade students will be taking Math MCAS on Monday, May 6th and Tuesday, May 7th. Please make sure your child arrives at school by 8:30 a.m. Students who arrive after the assessments begin will have to take it on a test make up day.

Thank you to Scott Barton for coming to school to share his musical robots with our students.  The students enjoyed learning how to program robots to play a multitude of instruments.  It was amazing!

The student council is planning an all school assembly celebrating the diversity of our Fiske community.  As part of this assembly the Student Council is creating a video that includes all of our students and staff.  The Student Council would like to invite families of our students and staff to email a picture of a family celebration, tradition or activity to include in the video. If you would like to share a photo then please email it to Mrs. McGregor at mcgregorr@wellesleyps.org.

A note from our Nurse

Over the past few weeks we have been seeing an increase in students with Strep Throat. When left untreated, Strep is contagious to others. Symptoms include: sudden onset of throat pain, painful swallowing, red/ swollen tonsils, fever, nausea.

 

If your child exhibits any of these symptoms, please keep them home and have them evaluated by a doctor. They will need to be on antibiotics for 24 hours and have improving symptoms before returning to school.

Walk to School Day

Please join us for our March Walk/Roll to school day on Wednesday, March 6, 2024.  All children are invited to participate.  Students who ride a bus will also be able to join in the fun by walking two times around the marked area on the back field. The field is wet so it is  suggested that children bring boots or a second pair of shoes if they will be walking the field route. 

 

A note from our PTO

A note from our Nurse

Over the past few weeks we have seen a significant increase in the number of students with Conjunctivitis (“Pink Eye”). When left untreated conjunctivitis is extremely contagious. Symptoms include: redness/itchiness/pain of the eye(s), a gritty feeling in the eye(s), clear yellow or white drainage from the eye(s), sensitivity to light. If your child exhibits any of these symptoms, please keep them home and have them evaluated by a doctor. They will need to be on antibiotics for 24 hours and have improving symptoms before returning to school.
