Due to the forecasted weather, we will have a Remote Learning Day tomorrow, Tuesday, February 28th.
Teachers will communicate with their students (and families in elementary) the expectation for classes on Tuesday- this will either be live zoom classes, assignments in Google Classroom, or work sent home in advance. Students will be sent home with all required materials this afternoon.
We wish our entire Fishers Island School community a Happy, Healthy, and Restorative February Break! We look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday, February 27th!
Fishers Island School is Hiring! We seek a full-time Senior Office Assistant to join our team and help support our wonderful school community! Please see our Career Opportunities page for more information.
