Fremont Intermediate School

This morning we practiced an ALICE drill in which all students and staff did a wonderful job. For today's drill we practiced what we would do if classrooms could not evacuate their classroom. We also had Lake County Sherrif's on hand to assist with the drill. To learn more about the District's safety and security measures, please click here. You can also access a resource titled Age-Appropriate Guidelines for ALICE Training at Any Age.

Our Fremont families are currently in desperate need of food donations and other resources as we approach the holiday season. Please consider joining our K-5 classes in our supply drive to support the Fremont Township Food Pantry. Donations are due by November 19. Please see the flyer below for more information. There will be tables located outside the media center for students to drop off the donations.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for November 24, and families will use an online scheduling system to sign up for a conference time. This is the same system used by both the elementary and intermediate schools. You should have received an email with directions on how to access the system and schedule your conference yesterday. We encourage you to sign up early to secure a time that works best for your family. Conference Sign up.

If you need a translator for your parent-teacher conference, please let your child’s teacher know by November 10.

Report An Absence

As the days get shorter and the holidays approach, remember that every day in school matters. Each day is a chance to grow, connect, and learn. If you’re planning family travel, please schedule around school days whenever possible. And as always, if your child has a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, keep them home until they’ve recovered for 24 hours without medication.
