Fremont MS Family Newsletter

Good afternoon,

Students did an amazing job of following our school expectations today for those that chose to dress up for Halloween. The school continued its focus on learning without distractions.

Our construction continues to make progress. This week our blacktop is getting a refresh near where some of the construction is happening. Students will be providing updates in the morning announcements periodically, so check those out! In the announcements this week is a reminder about the end of the trimester, which is quickly approaching.

Have a great weekend and a safe Halloween for all of those that participate.

Warm Regards,

Dr. Emily Loerakker

Fremont MS - Principal

We want to thank you for your patience and understanding during our expedited placement process. Since we didn’t start school until September 8th and moved Incoming Freshmen Night up from January to November, placement has felt like a sprint.

• Division chairs are in the process of reaching out to 8th grade teachers to confirm our placements.

• We will send final placements to parents by November 2nd.

• We will provide a more detailed overview of freshmen required courses, electives, and support classes at our Incoming Freshmen Night on November 12th.

As the days become shorter and mornings get darker, it can become more difficult for motorists to see children.

Consider adding reflective gear, stickers, or accessories to your child’s backpack, jacket, or clothing. A little extra visibility can make a big difference, especially when students are walking to and waiting at their bus stops.

We want to remind all families that children must be actively supervised by an adult at all times when attending after-school activities on district property, including athletic events, concerts, and evening performances.

To ensure the safety and security of all students, staff, and guests, unattended roaming in hallways or other non-event areas is strictly prohibited.

Thank you for your partnership and adherence to this policy as we work together to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.
