Fremont

Connect to Kindergarten Events

It is that time of year to get our 2012-2013 Kindergarten students connected with Fremont School. There will be two events over the next two months designed to have students get familiar with our teachers and students. Our kindergarten team will have information for parents as well as activities for our incoming kindergartners.

May 22 - 6:00-7:00 PM

Dressing for the weather

Fremont students will be going outside every day for lunch recess. Please make sure your son/daughter comes to school prepared for the weather. All students are expected to be outside unless they have a note from a physician stating that they are unable to be outside due to illness.

Drop Off/Pick Up

Doors open at 8:00 AM each morning. If your child will be eating breakfast at school, please make sure you have them here by 8:15 AM so they are able to make it to class on time. There will be supervision on the playground from 8:15 - 8:25 AM each morning.  All students are expected to be outside once they are finished with breakfast.

The school day ends at 3:26 PM, please refrain from picking your child up before that time.  If there is a special circumstance, such as a doctor's appointment, a sign-out slip can be obtained from the office.
