Fremont MS Family Newsletter

Good afternoon,

We’re in the home stretch! Every school day counts as students finish strong, celebrate their growth, and prepare for what’s next. Please help us keep students engaged and present—unless illness makes it necessary to rest at home.

This week we have NWEA MAP testing on May 7-8th. Please be sure have your student bring a charged device, a book to read when finished, and pencils.
