Fremont Elementary School

Dear Fremont Families,

Our beautiful fall continues! As the weather gets colder, please ensure your child comes to school each day prepared for outdoor play with appropriate outerwear (coats, hats, and gloves/mittens). We also kindly ask that all of your child's clothing items be clearly labeled with their name. This helps us return lost items quickly and efficiently.

Today, we conducted an ALICE drill in our District. The safety and well-being of our students is always our top priority, and these drills are a standard, important part of our school safety plan. Our teachers used age-appropriate language to discuss the drill with students, focusing on the simple concept of practicing how to stay safe in our classrooms. We keep these practices brief and calm to ensure they are not frightening for our young learners.

We appreciate your continued support in helping us maintain a safe school environment for everyone.

Sincerely,

Beth Carmody

Principal

Halloween Fun at Fremont!

The Halloween parade and classroom parties were a huge hit! Students had a blast showing off their creative costumes, and it was wonderful to see so many students cheering them on. The classrooms were filled with laughter, games, and plenty of festive spirit. Thank you to our staff and parent volunteers who helped make the day so special. Enjoy a few photos capturing the fun!
