Fremont Intermediate School

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for November 24, and families will use an online scheduling system to sign up for a conference time. This is the same system used by both the elementary and intermediate schools. On November 11 at 6:00 p.m., you will receive an email with directions on how to access the system and schedule your conference. We encourage you to sign up early to secure a time that works best for your family.

If you need a translator for your parent-teacher conference, please let your child’s teacher know by November 10.

Halloween parties are on Friday, October 31. Each classroom will allow three designated parent Party Hosts. These parents should arrive at 1:45 p.m. for the event. Other parents who are not assigned as Party Hosts will not be invited to attend. Students can change into their costumes before the party, so please send a costume they can put on independently. Costumes should be school-appropriate, with no depictions of violence, and makeup, masks, and weapons are not allowed. Thank you for your support and understanding.

If your child is unable to participate in the Halloween activities, please let your homeroom teacher know. We are happy to plan alternative activities to ensure that all children enjoy the day!

Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) student reports will be mailed home on October 30. Once you receive them, you can use this resource to help you understand and review your child’s scores.

Wednesday, October 29 - Early Release, dismissal at 3:08 p.m.
Friday, October 31 - Halloween Parties, 2:00 p.m.

We love partnering with our parents and guardians to create a strong and supportive school community! There are many ways to get involved at Fremont—some connected to your child’s classroom and others that support our school as a whole. Opportunities include helping with our PAWS program, assisting with copying or bulletin boards, working with small student groups, or even sharing your profession with students.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please take a few minutes to complete the survey linked below. Your responses will help us connect you with opportunities that align with your interests and availability. We will review all entries, and a staff member will reach out when a volunteer opportunity that matches your interests becomes available.

Report An Absence

By now, daily routines are forming, and consistent attendance helps students feel connected and confident. October is a great time to check in and reinforce good habits around sleep, morning prep, and arriving on time. Let’s keep the momentum going—while still being mindful to stay home when truly sick.
