Good afternoon,

October is moving along so quickly and the end of the trimester is just around the corner. Please be sure to check Teacherease to review any missing work or assessments that need to be reassessed before the end of the trimester, which is less than three weeks away.

We also have some dress up days coming up in the next couple of weeks. Please see the guidelines for Halloween below!

Warm Regards,

Mark your calendars for November 11 as we invite all parents and guardians to join us for our upcoming virtual Parent University: Connecting RULER Social-Emotional Learning from School to Home, presented by Fremont staff.

Across all grade levels, our classrooms have been actively embedding the RULER framework (developed by the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence) into daily learning. During this virtual interactive session, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of our schoolwide RULER rollout and take home practical strategies to use the Mood Meter and Charter concepts within your family routine.

A Zoom link for the presentation will be shared with families closer to the date of the event.
