Fremont Intermediate School

As shared during Curriculum Night, regular attendance plays a key role in your child’s growth and success at school. Our day begins with morning arrival and announcements, and learning continues right up until dismissal. We understand that occasional late arrivals or early pickups may be necessary. In those cases, please notify us by sending an email to rfine@fsd79.org as well as your child’s classroom teacher.

Student MAP reports will be emailed home next week. Please make sure you are on the lookout for that email. Check your spam folder if you do not have an email by the end of the week.

Every year the universal screener SAEBRS (Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener) is administered. At the Intermediate School all students participate in this screener by filling out a brief Google form with questions related to Social, Academic and Emotional behavior. All homeroom teachers also fill out a similar survey on each of their students. The data gathered from those surveys, along with information from staff members and parents, help to identify students in need of social emotional interventions, such as social emotional learning groups, etc. Please be aware that all 3rd-5th grade students will be filling out this survey during the week of September 29.

Wednesday, October 1 - Early Release, dismissal at 3:08 p.m.
Thursday, October 2 - No School

2025-2026 FSD79 School Calendar

It is time to register for morning clubs for 3rd through 5th grade. These are the club options and dates. Please register on this form for each child. You may register your child for more than one club using the same form. Registration is due on Monday, October 6. by 5:00 p.m. and clubs will begin that week. Registration confirmation will be communicated by each club sponsor.

FSD79 is seeking input from our community as we plan our 2026-2027 K-8 school calendar. If you have not yet already done so, please complete this survey by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 26. For more information, please click here.

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).

Report An Absence

Welcome back, Wildcats! September is Attendance Awareness Month, and there’s no better time to start strong. Showing up each day helps students build routines, connect with classmates, and stay on track with learning. Let’s work together—families and school—to make attendance a priority from the very beginning. And as always, if your child is experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, or a fever, please keep them home until they’ve been symptom-free (without medication) for 24 hours.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
