Fremont Intermediate School

Student and staff safety is our primary concern at Fremont School District 79. We will be practicing our ALICE intruder drill the week of November 3 at the Elementary, Intermediate and Middle School. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. To learn more about the District's safety and security measures, please click here. If you would like to have your child opt out of this drill, please contact me at sladenburger@fsd79.org. You can also click here to access a resource titled Age-Appropriate Guidelines for ALICE Training at Any Age.

A friendly reminder that every student in FSD79 has access to the Varsity Tutors for Schools platform. This access includes:

24/7 On-Demand Chat Tutoring
On-Demand Essay Review
100+ Weekly Live Classes
Recorded Enrichment Classes
Self-Study & Practice Resources

Here is a pamphlet and a video that provides an overview of the platform features. Students can go to their Clever Dashboard and select the Varsity Tutors icon to login to the platform. Any chat sessions students participate in are recorded and posted on their dashboard for future reference.

The District received 784 responses to our recent staff and community survey seeking feedback as we plan our 2026-27 K-8 academic year calendar. Both staff and families were in alignment with following our current calendar as opposed to shifting the start of the school year back a week to align with the end of Mundelein High School’s 2026-27 school year.

We plan to present a recommendation to have a start date of August 20, 2026, and an end date of June 2, 2027, to the Board of Education at its October 20 meeting, along with a draft of the 2026-27 academic year calendar. A formal vote for approval of the calendar is scheduled for the Board’s meeting on November 17. A Lincoln Early Learning Center school calendar for the 2026-27 academic year will be determined at a later date.

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.
