Fremont Intermediate School

All students will take the NWEA MAP assessment in reading and math on Tuesday, September 8, and Thursday, September 10. Testing will begin first thing in the morning, so please ensure your child arrives on time with a fully charged Chromebook. Each session will last 75 minutes. If additional time is needed, students will be scheduled to finish during a second session.

To help keep morning arrival running smoothly, we need all intermediate students to enter directly through the intermediate building doors rather than walking through the elementary building.

We love seeing our older students walk their younger siblings to their school but to help our elementary students build confidence, responsibility, and independence, we encourage them to enter their building on their own. Rest assured, our staff is stationed throughout the elementary hallways to guide, encourage, and ensure our youngest learners feel safe and supported.

Thank you for your partnership in making morning arrival a smooth and positive start to the day!

Our school website offers a variety of resources curated by the Fremont Mental Health Team to support both students and families. These resources include coping strategies, guidance for parents, and links to local services. They are designed to help you quickly find support and provide students with tools to manage stress, anxiety, or other challenges.

Our Assistant Principal is looking for parent volunteers to help support our PAWS efforts throughout the year! Tasks range from updating bulletin boards and managing the PAWS store to entering data and organizing student and staff recognition plans. Whether you can lend a hand once, twice, or every week, your help directly enhances student life at Fremont. If you’re interested, please reach out to Alana Davidov at adavidov@fsd.org.

The District leadership team has been closely monitoring traffic patterns and observing how the new Fremont Center Road exit is being utilized before and after school. Our goal has been to ensure the new exit improves traffic flow while maintaining a safe environment for our students, families, and staff.

We have determined that allowing left turns onto Fremont Center Road will provide additional benefit to our families without creating safety concerns. Therefore, beginning Tuesday, September 8, the signs and cones restricting left turns onto Fremont Center Road will be removed. Both left and right turns will be permitted from the new exit at all times.

For everyone’s continued safety, please take your time and make cautious decisions when turning onto Fremont Center Road.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

We’re excited to introduce new interactive displays in our cafeteria! To make lunchtime engaging and positive, we’re creating a student-friendly slideshow featuring inspirational content, club announcements, and family pets. We’d love your help kickstarting our first feature—please use this form to upload up to 5 photos of your family members with family pets, class pets, or favorite animal adventures by September 22, 2026.

Throughout the school year, our transportation team conducts school bus evacuation drills to ensure that students understand what to do and where to go in the event of an emergency.

Practicing these procedures helps students build confidence and ensures they are prepared should an actual emergency ever occur. The District will be conducting drills on the following upcoming dates:

FRONT DOOR EVACUATION DRILL

• Friday, September 4

BACK DOOR EVACUATION DRILL

• Monday, September 14

We encourage parents and guardians to talk with their children about the importance of participating seriously in these drills, including staying calm and following the bus driver’s instructions.

Please complete only one form per student. You are able to register your student for multiple clubs on this form.

Registration is closed for this year's no-cost Wednesday early release program for K-5 students that runs from 3:08-4:08 p.m. To be added to the waitlist in the event additional spots open, please contact Kimberly Mingo from Right at School.
