Fremont MS Family Newsletter

Good afternoon,

This season is a bit of a "balancing act" for our middle schoolers. On one hand, they are gearing up for end-of-year projects and field trips, on the other, their minds are drifting toward summer break and upcoming transitions. Whether your student is preparing to cross the bridge to high school or getting ready to become the new "leaders of the pack" next year, we are here to support them every step of the way. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your student's teachers for an update on their academic progress.

Morning Announcements

Warm Regards,

Emily Loerakker

Fremont MS Principal
