Fisher Middle School's Hope Squad & Beta Club is excited to kick off their annual food drive. This year, all donations will be sent to the Drew Fowler Food Pantry that is housed within Greenville County Schools. This food pantry serves students and families of Greenville County Schools throughout the year. We are excited to restock their pantry so that they can continue to assist families in need. The drive will run the entire month of February, and we ask that all donations be dropped off in the sunken assembly.

Parents are strongly encouraged to create a Backpack account for their children. Greenville County Schools uses Backpack to provide parents with the most recent news and information about our schools. The Backpack for Parents account also provides parents, guardians, or contacts with a central place to sign in to:

• View their student's information including demographics, attendance, classes, grades, lunch balances, and test scores
• Apply or register their student to Special Focus schools and programs (Fine Arts Center, Career Centers, etc.)
• Receive alerts and notifications regarding their students
• View their student's school and contact information
• Manage parent and contact information for their students

The EVOLV Detection System is used district-wide as a part of Greenville County Schools collective safety efforts. These are used primarily for weapons detection. All schools partner with the GCS Security Department as well as local law enforcement agencies. As parents you can expect that we will run EVOLV a minimum of once per week but more often we will run screens multiple times per week. These screener sessions will remain completely random and will always be unannounced. We will often conduct an EVOLV Intake which is conducted as students enter the building before school at all student entrances. During an intake students should remove their Chromebooks and carry it in separate from their backpack.

Please know that school administration maintains regular contact with GCS Security in our continued efforts to ensure school safety.

The Fisher Middle School SIC developed a program years ago call the Birdwatcher program. This is a program that allows Level 2 approved parents, family, and community to come to Fisher to help with supervision and hang out with our kiddos. The cool thing is that you can do this around your schedule. You can assist in the morning before school in the cafe, gym, or hallways during lunches, during the school day, and even after school during carline. If you want to help out but don't have all the time in the world this could be the opportunity you're looking for. Check out how to become a Level 2 volunteer below.

Please click this link HERE to explore your options when it comes to being a parent volunteer at Fisher Middle School. This would include in-school opportunities such as Field & STEAM Day and external events such as class trips or field trips. We prefer that volunteers, chaperones, etc. are Level 2 approved.

Please be informed tha ALL 7th Grade students must have their TDAP vaccination prior to starting 7th Grade. Please schedule your appointment now as getting in over the summer and especially close to the start of school will be very, very difficult. You must provide proof of the vaccination to the Fisher Middle School Nurse and can bring a copy into the main office.
