Notes of Appreciation
Tuesday, May 6 is National Teacher Appreciation Day, and we will take time to celebrate the dedicated adults who make Fremd High School a better place for all students. Parents and students are encouraged to express their gratitude by writing a note of thanks to a member of the Fremd staff who has made a positive impact in their lives.
Fremd is fortunate to have nearly 350 staff members—including teachers, counselors, social workers, psychologists, administrators, coaches, sponsors, clerical staff, custodians, food service workers, technology specialists, student supervisors, therapists, teacher assistants, and our school nurse—each contributing to our supportive and thriving school environment.

A Note from the Prairie Center for the Arts Regarding Prom Photos
We received the following email from the event coordinator at the Prairie Center for the Arts.
Our grounds here at the Prairie Center for the Arts in Schaumburg are one of the most popular prom photo-op locations and with prom right around the corner, I wanted to reach out to inform all schools about the limited parking and construction. Our Village Hall building is currently being torn down and rebuilt, due to this we will not have parking available on-site for prom goers. Along with this, fencing has been put up blocking a portion of Schaumburg ct, the Village Hall parking lot, and pathways to the popular pond destination. Auxiliary police will be verifying who is entering our lot, and have been directed to only allow people who are attending performances held at the Prairie Center for the Arts to park.
If you could please spread the word amongst the prom committees, students, and parents as prom photos will not be easily accessible on our grounds this year. We advise prom photos to be taken elsewhere as we know many schools in the area come here annually for photos.

The class of 2025 is invited to walk the halls of their old elementary schools (Thomas Jefferson Middle School is opening their doors as well!). Please see THIS SCHEDULE for your school; some schools ask that you sign-up to come so they can better plan for the number of students coming.
Make sure to have your photo id/driver's license ready when you arrive!
