Fremont Intermediate School

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!

• Saturday, October 18 - Truck or Treat - 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, October 22 - Early Release, dismissal at 3:08 p.m.
• Thursday, October 23 - Picture Retakes

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.

Please make plans to join us for our next in-person Parent University presentation coming up on Wednesday, October 22. It is not required to RSVP for in-person events, however, we ask that you please do so if you plan to take advantage of childcare, which will be provided by Fremont Middle School students for individuals ages 3+.

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

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.

FSD79 and Mundelein High School District 120 recently sent a joint letter to Village of Mundelein Mayor and Board of Trustees, expressing concerns about the Village’s impact fee ordinance that was adopted this past April.

The new ordinance has led to a critically inadequate offer from Pulte for its Walnut Ridge development, which will result in approximately 140 new K-12 students. The resulting impact fee proposal reveals a massive disparity from other recent developments, including Pulte’s 2020 agreement for Sheldon Woods.

Per-Home Impact Fees (4-bedroom home)

Hawthorn Woods Country Club: $10,286

Mundelein Sheldon Woods (Pulte): $6,150

Proposed Mundelein Walnut Ridge (Pulte): $2,898

You are welcome to join us at the Village of Mundelein hearing at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 27, 2025, at Village Hall to advocate for a revised impact fee agreement before approvals take place.

If your child will be absent from school because of illness, doctor's appointments, or for any other reason, please report it to the school office by 9:00 a.m. on the day of the absence by completing the form linked below. While the online form is preferred, you may also call in the absence to the front office at 847-388-3700 (option 2).
