Fremont Elementary School

Dear Fremont Families,

We have officially wrapped up our first week back at school, and it has been wonderful seeing our hallways buzzing with energy again! I hope you all had a restful and rejuvenating break. This post-break period is actually one of the most critical times in the academic calendar. The adjustment period of the fall is long gone, and our daily routines are deeply ingrained. This allows us to dive into some of the most complex, exciting, and rewarding learning of the year. Our teachers are focused on maximizing every single day we have left to ensure your child finishes their grade level strong and confident. Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to make these final months incredibly successful for your children. Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Beth Carmody

Principal

Our K-2 students recently enjoyed an exciting visit from Firefighter Casey of the Countryside Fire Protection District! She taught the students how to identify items that are "safe vs. not safe" to touch and explained the life-saving importance of smoke detectors. It was a wonderful opportunity for our youngest learners to gain confidence in their fire safety skills.

Report an Absence Form

With spring breaks and changing weather, it can be easy to lose momentum. But April is a key time for progress and growth. Help your child stay in the rhythm of learning by showing up each day ready to participate—unless they are truly sick and need to stay home.

Your feedback matters! If you have not yet done so, please take 3 minutes to complete our community survey to share your feedback, including your level of satisfaction with the District.

The survey will close on April 20 and final results will be shared on our website www.fsd79.org.

We are committed to making our school day end as safely and smoothly as it begins. We are excited to announce that Fremont Elementary School will soon be piloting Raptor DismissalSafe, a new digital system designed to enhance our dismissal process. This system will allow us to securely verify authorized pickup persons and streamline our carline flow, getting your students to you faster and more securely. Keep an eye on your email for more details and instructions on how you can participate in this pilot program starting later this month!

Do you have a student making the transition to Fremont Intermediate School or Fremont Middle School next year? Join us via Zoom on Tuesday, April 14, at 6:30 p.m. as our school principals and parents walk you through what to expect at your child’s new school. There will be the opportunity to interact and ask questions. A Zoom link will be shared with our families closer to the event date.
