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.
Physical Exam and Health History Form Required for Winter Athletes
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.
For questions, please reach out to Julie Davis, School Nurse, at jdavis@thefletcherschool.org.
