Hello Fishers Island Community: I hope you are well. I am writing to provide advance notice of potential adverse weather conditions forecasted for tomorrow. Based on the forecasted conditions, I have scheduled an in-person “Early Dismissal” from school for Tuesday, March 14th. As of right now, the temperatures will be high enough to allow for safe travel in the morning. However, as the temperature drops, it could create hazardous road conditions during the evening commute.
Fishers Island resident students will be dismissed to either walk home or for parent pick-up at 12:25 pm. We notified the Fishers Island Ferry that our Connecticut students would take the 12:45p ferry from Fishers to land in New London for a 1:30 pm pick-up. The entire schedule can be found below:
Block | Time |
Advisory | 8:00-8:08 |
Block 5 | 8:11-9:00 |
Block 6 | 9:02-9:51 |
Flex Elementary Lunch HS Band HS Lunch | 9:51-10:45 9:53-10:18 9:53-10:23 10:23-10:45 |

I appreciate your continued flexibility and understanding as we navigate the winter months. As always, we aim to air on the side of caution to ensure our entire school community’s safety.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
In your service,
