Dear Fisher Flamingoes, What an eventful 2020 we have had so far! The 2020-2021 school year will be unlike any we have ever seen before! It is our hope that you and your child were able to make the best of your summer break given our worldwide condition. We extend a warm welcome to those families who are new to the Fisher school community. We also welcome a new assistant principal to our school, Ms. Jody Campbell.
To my students, staff, families, and community; I am so honored to be your servant leader. Thank you for the opportunity to work with such an amazing school community. I encourage you to stop in or call me to share ideas, concerns, or questions. I wish your family, and especially your student, great success this school year.
If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to say hi, please feel free to contact me via at cwalton@rvaschools.net or 804.327.5612.
Yours in service,
Principal Walton
JB Fisher Elementary School
