Summer Online Learning Access

This Summer Online Learning Access document highlights the programs that students have access to over the summer, should you wish to access them for independent summer learning. These are the same online, personalized, self-paced, student-directed programs FSD79 uses during the school year. Prior to summer break, your child’s current classroom teacher(s) will provide reminders regarding the necessary login information needed to access these tools.

Wildcats Countdown

It is about that time for our annual Wildcats Countdown. Make sure you review the information below.

Special Event Dismissal Schedule - May 30

In keeping with past District practice, the final scheduled day of instruction for the elementary, intermediate, and middle schools (May 30) will follow our Special Event Dismissal Schedule. Students will be dismissed at the following times:

Middle School: 1:13 p.m.

Lost and Found

All lost and found items that have been collected throughout the year will be donated after Friday, June 20. Please make sure to tell your child to check the lost and found if you feel they have lost something. Parents are also welcome to stop by and check as well.

Medication Pick Up

Fremont School District has set up guidelines for the administration and transportation of medications at school. These guidelines have been established in order to ensure the safety and well being of all children.

Parents/Guardians are responsible for picking up any medication at the end of the school year. All medication, including inhalers and Epi-Pens, must be picked up by 3:00 pm JUNE 2, 2025. Please make arrangements to pick up your child’s medication. MEDICATION WILL NOT BE SENT HOME ON THE BUS WITH YOUR CHILD. ANY MEDICATIONS LEFT AFTER JUNE 2 WILL BE DISPOSED OF.

If your child will be attending any summer school programs, please let Nurse Grace know and those medications can be picked up on the last day of their summer school session.

As a reminder, new Medication Authorization Forms will need to be filled out by the child’s physician each school year. Forms can be found on the school website in the Health Services section.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact the health office.
