Fremont Intermediate
August 9, 2024
Everyone should have received an email from me earlier this week with information and directions on how to sign up for parent/teacher conferences. As a reminder, the system to sign-up for parent-teacher conferences will be open for parents from Tuesday, November 12, at 7:00 p.m. to Wednesday, November 20, at 7:00 p.m. The earlier you access the system, the more likely you will find convenient times.
