PARENT CONFERENCES We will have our second round of parent/teacher conferences on Monday, October 28th from 4:00 to 7:00. Teachers/teams will be contacting some parents directly to schedule a conference. If you would like to initiate a conference, please contact your child's teacher or team to set up a specified time for either date. Teachers will share with you the location of where to meet. Students are also encouraged to attend with parents. We look forward to seeing you.

SNACK ATTACK IS BACK! Fishers Junior High is pleased to announce the return of the Snack Attack program for students in need. The program, supported by the Fishers Youth Assistance Program, is designed to help students in need with some extra snacks to get them through the weekend.

Participating students will pick up a small sack bag on Friday to be taken home over the weekend. The sack is filled with 5-10 individually wrapped snacks such as granola bars, fruit cups, pop tarts, peanut butter/crackers, Goldfish crackers, etc. The type of snacks will vary each week. Please let us know if your child has a peanut allergy as he/she will receive a special bag of peanut-free snacks.

There is no cost to you or the school. If you are interested in having your student participate in FYAP's Snack Attack, please contact Kim Broughton at kbroughton@hse.k12.in.us.

Fishers Junior High welcomes your donations to the program. If you are so inclined, please drop off snack items at the front office or send in with your student. Thank you in advance!

FROM THE FRONT OFFICE • When you need to pick up your student early, our goal is to have your student waiting for you when

you arrive. Please send a note or call the office (317.594.4150) with student name and pick up time. Please be prepared to show ID. Please understand that if advance notice isn’t given it might take a few extra minutes to get your student to the office.

• Students can sign themselves in when arriving after the 7:35 bell. If they have been at an

appointment please have them bring in that note. • If a student is going to be absent, please call our attendance line at 594-4156 (open 24 hours). • The same daily announcements that students hear during the school day can be found online here:

https://fjh.hseschools.org/happenings/announcements Good conversation starters! • Is your student riding a different bus with a friend after school? Please send a written note with

details and ask your student to bring it to the front office in the morning. The note will be stamped and given back to your student to give to the bus driver that day.

FAMILY FITNESS WEEK The week of Thanksgiving (November 24th-30th) is National Family Week. Celebrate with some fitness activities you can do as a family! Pick your favorites from the list and set a goal to accomplish 2-3 per day during that entire week. This is a great time to encourage each other to stay active, work on team building, and spend time together as a family. Students are challenged each day to participate in the activities listed on the calendar. Each week, the number of repetitions for each fitness exercise increases. Please keep in mind the number of repetitions is meant as a guide, and can be adapted as needed based on age group and skill level.

DESCRIPTIONS FOR EXERCISES Side Lunges: Stand with your feet and knees together. Take a large step to the right with your right foot and lunge toward the floor. Your knee shouldn’t extent past your toes. Make sure your left leg stays relatively straight. Push off through your right foot to return to the starting position. Alternate legs. Sumo Squat: Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, and your toes slightly turned out. Push your hips back and squat down, keeping your chest up and knees out. Then stand up and return to the starting position. Tricep Dips: Students can either use the edge of a chair, a bench, or raised box. Grip the edge with your legs extended out in front of you. Lower your body down toward the ground, with your back close to the edge, and bend your elbows until they are at about 90 degree angle. Then straighten the elbows and bring your body back to the starting position. Leg Raises: Lie on your back with your legs straight and together. Keep your legs straight and lift them all the way up to the ceiling until your glutes come off the floor. Slowly lower your legs back down – you can also hold them just above the floor for an added challenge. Raise your legs back up and repeat.
