Wildcats in Action
- Fremont Wildcats in Mrs. Eifert's 4th grade class put their knowledge of force and energy into action by designing and building Rube Goldberg machines—turning simple tasks into exciting chain reactions!
- Our 5th Grade band rocking out this past Wednesday!
Art Room
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve hired a long-term teacher for our Art room! Mrs. Trahan will be joining us, and she’s no stranger to Fremont—she previously filled a similar leave in the Art room, making her well-acquainted with both the curriculum and our team. She has already been with us a few days and will start full time on Tuesday, February 18.
Valentine's Day Parties
Valentine's Day parties will be held on Friday, February 14 from 2:00-2:45 p.m. Three parent Party Hosts will be allowed in the classroom. Parents who have been assigned as Party Hosts should arrive at 1:45 p.m. All remaining parents who have not been assigned to assist will not be invited to attend the party. As a reminder we do not have food at our parties and student valentines should not contain candy.
If your child is unable to participate in the Valentine's activities, please let your homeroom teacher know. We are happy to plan alternative activities to ensure that all children enjoy the day!
Join Us for Parent Book Club Night! - Feb. 11
Excessive technology use and its potential consequences are concerns for many parents. With that in mind, we invite all parents to join us on February 11 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at Fremont Middle School for a Parent Book Club discussion on the New York Times #1 Bestseller "The Anxious Generation" by Jonathan Haidt. We’ll explore all three sections together, share thoughts, and discuss how to navigate the challenges of raising kids in the digital age.
While we encourage parents to read the book in advance, it is not necessary to have read the book in order to join us for the discussion on February 11. For individuals who would like to listen to the book, an audio version can be found at Audible. The evening's event will be an opportunity to share our own experiences with our children's technology and social media use.
District parents, administrators, and psychologists will collaborate to lead the discussion. We'll also be offering complimentary soup for attendees. While it is not required to RSVP to attend the discussion, we ask that you please do so if you intend to take advantage of free on-site childcare that evening (see link below).
