Fremont Newsletter 2026-2027

Dear Fremont Families,

Welcome to November! As we begin a new month, I want to take a moment to thank all of our families who joined us for last week's Halloween Parade and Día de los Muertos celebration. It was wonderful to see our Fremont community come together, celebrate our traditions, and create special memories. Thank you for your continued participation and support of our Chargers!

We are also wrapping up Trimester 1! Teachers are finalizing report cards, which will be accessible through the Parent Portal this Friday, November 6. This is a great opportunity to celebrate your child's progress and reflect on their learning and accomplishments throughout the first trimester.

A big GOOD LUCK to our Fremont Chargers competing in flag football and cheer! We are proud of all our student-athletes and appreciate the dedication, teamwork, and school spirit they bring to their teams. Stay tuned for end-of-season celebrations, including playoffs and the cheer tournament! Families can stay up to date with game schedules and results through the City of Alhambra's Quickscores website:

• Visit the City of Alhambra Quickscores Homepage

Finally, we have several family meetings and opportunities coming up this week and next week. We encourage all families to join us, stay informed, and remain actively involved in our school community. Please take a moment to review the flyers below for additional information.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for all you do to support our Fremont Chargers. Let's make November another wonderful month of learning, growth, and community!

With Charger Pride,

Fremont Mission Statement

Our mission at Fremont Elementary School is to nurture a positive learning environment that encourages equitable practices and active involvement in our students’ learning and social emotional development. We aim to prepare Life and Future Ready Learners through autonomy and collaborative learning, while providing the necessary tools and interventions to meet the unique needs of each student. Our commitment to celebrate diversity ensures an inclusive and supportive space where individual strengths and skills are honored and valued.

Thank you to all who came out for our annual Halloween Parade on Wednesday October 28, 2026

Thank you for your assistance in making our Fremont Halloween parade a fun and safe experience for all our students and staff.

Please note, school begins at 8:00am daily for all students (TK-8) through the front gates. Dismissal times will vary. Students in 4th-8th grades will dismiss through the Ross gate. Our weekly shortened day will remain on Wednesdays.

Families are able to view students homeroom teacher through the Parent Portal prior to the first day of school. Please remember that the class placement is subject to change through the first days of school as we work towards leveling classes. The Parent Portal is critical in monitoring student academic progress and attendance throughout the school year as well as updating relevant information. It is vital that student contact information is updated such as current home address, primary and secondary phone numbers, medication and allergy information and emergency contacts.

PLEASE DO not drive through or park in the staff parking lot located off Fremont street. Be mindful when parking on Elm and Ross streets-always reading posted traffic signs. Morning drop off and dismissal gates differ depending on the grade level for your child. Fremont Families, it is important to respect our neighbors and adhere to traffic safety laws, keeping our students safe off campus. Fremont is located on busy streets and we want to assure the safety of our students and staff.

New California legislation establishes a cell phone-free education for our K-12 public schools. The lawmakers acknowledges the research and feedback from health officials, educators, and families that these devices have significantly negatively affected academic achievement and student health.

Here are the expectations of students:

1. Personal electronic devices (cellular phones, smartwatches, earbuds, and headphones) will need to be stored in student backpacks/bags for the school day as students enter schools.

2. Students will not use personal electronic devices during the school day inclusive of class time, breakfast, lunch, bathroom breaks, and passing time between classes.

School Uniforms are required in accordance with Board Policy 5132. Specific attire for school uniforms may also be viewed on our website. We strongly encourage "College Wear Wednesdays" and "Fremont Fridays" wearing green. Students may wear Fremont Charger Gear any day of the week.
