Student Attendance & Supervision at Home Basketball Games

• Students and their families are encouraged to attend our exciting basketball games to watch any of our five teams: Junior Boys, Middle School Girls, Middle School Boys, Varsity Girls, and Varsity Boys. Click here to view the schedule or go to the Fletcher website Athletic Calendar.

• Please remember that students in grades K-8 must be supervised by an adult. The adult doesn't need to be the student's parent but does need to acknowledge being responsible for the student.

• Upper School students may attend games without adult supervision.

Change in Dismissal or Carpool Plans?

• Whenever you need to pick up your child before the end of the school day, please remember to email the Front Desk at frontdesk@thefletcherschool.org at least two hours before dismissal.

• If there are changes in carpool pick-up or if your child is not attending afterschool activities/sports, we encourage you to notify the Front Desk at frontdesk@thefletcherschool.org at least two hours before dismissal.

• As a reminder, the 2024-2025 Physical Exam and Health History form is required annually for all student-athletes.

• If the Nurse’s Office does not have a current form on file for your student who participates in winter athletics, please submit the completed form as soon as possible.
