Fremont MS Family Newsletter

Good afternoon,

Thank you all for supporting the Student Council's Treats for Troops. We donated 184 pounds of candy in total. 6th graders were the winning grade level and earned some fun time during Flex.

Our November focus on gratitude continues this week as our Specialist team is organizing a drive to support sending a Lake County Veteran on the Honor Flight to Washington, DC. Please see your email for more information and contact Andrea Poglayen at apoglayen@fsd79.org for more information.

This next week we close the chapter on Trimester 1 and begin Trimester 2 on Friday, November 14th. Be sure to log in to Teacherease to review your student's schedule. Creative Arts and Health rotate each trimester. Report cards "go live" on Teacherease on Thursday, November 20th at 3:00 pm. Honor Roll certificates will be processed and handed out during Flex the week of December 1st. Please see the Honor Roll criteria here.
