This is just a friendly reminder for our Fischer Families that registration is currently open. If you have not done your online registration yet please log in to your ParentVue account as soon as possible and complete your 25-26 year enrollment.

We are asking families to register as soon as possible before August 19th, which is the first day of school. If you health documents such as physicals, immunizations, or dental forms they can be emailed to our Health Office or can be uploaded through ParentVue separately.

Having registrations completed timely helps us estimate the number of students to prepare for, staff, and some supplies so that we may be the best prepared to welcome your future Falcons for the new school year.

If your student will not be returning to Fischer Middle School for the 25-26 school year, please notify our staff as soon as possible by emailing deborah_stich@ipsd.org or calling the main office at 630.375.3100 Monday through Thursday 8am to 3pm.

If you need any assistance with completion of registration please call the main office or email deborah_stich@ipsd.org
