Dear Fremont Families,

As we move into the heart of September, we’re excited to share a few important updates and celebrations happening across our campus. Parent Conference Week is just around the corner, and we encourage all families to participate. These conferences are a great opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, discuss progress, and strengthen our partnership in supporting student success. remember, these are minimum days (except for short Wednesday).

We also invite you to join us for our first School Site Council meeting, which will take place this Wednesday September 17th at 2:45pm in the library. Your voice matters, and this is a meaningful way to be involved in shaping our school’s goals and direction.

Is there a staff member who has gone above and beyond and deserves a special shout-out? We see so many wonderful interactions, kind gestures, and moments of excellence each day—and we’d love your help recognizing them. This is one small way we can highlight the incredible efforts happening all around campus.

Throughout the month, we are continuing to promote our Character Trait of the Month: Respect. It’s been powerful to see students practicing respectful behavior in classrooms, on the playground, and with one another. Finally, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be celebrating our first Charger of the Month on September 26th at 7:30am in the auditorium. We can’t wait to recognize students who are living out our Charger values and making a positive impact in our community.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership.

Warm regards,

Dr. Carly Chavez, Ed.D. Principal

Please view our bell schedule for the new school year. Note, school begins at 8:00am daily for all students (TK-8) through the front gates. Dismissal times will vary. Our weekly shortened day will remain on most Wednesdays.

Families are able to view students homeroom teacher through the Parent Portal prior to the first day of school. Please remember that the class placement is subject to change through the first days of school as we work towards leveling classes. The Parent Portal is critical in monitoring student academic progress and attendance throughout the school year as well as updating relevant information. It is vital that student contact information is updated such as current home address, primary and secondary phone numbers, medication and allergy information and emergency contacts. Click here to access the Parent Portal link.

Reminder: DO not drive through or park in the staff parking lot located off Fremont street. Be mindful when parking on Elm and Ross streets-always reading posted traffic signs. Morning drop off and dismissal gates differ depending on the grade level for your child. Fremont Families, it is important to respect our neighbors and adhere to traffic safety laws, keeping our students safe off campus. Fremont is located on busy streets and we want to assure the safety of our students and staff.

Arrival: There is only one entrance to campus-located at the front gate on Elm Street. Students will be ushered to designated areas for teacher pick-up.

Dismissal: TK and Kindergarten dismissal will be at the front gate. Students will only be released by teachers to parents/guardians/caretakers with release cards. 1st grade students will also be picked up inside the gate (breezeway), 2nd -3rd grade students will exit at the front gate on Elm Street. 4th-8th grade students will exit at the back gate (near field) on Ross Street.

School Uniforms are required in accordance with Board Policy 5132. Specific attire for school uniforms may also be viewed on our website. We strongly encourage "College Wear Wednesdays" and "Fremont Fridays" wearing green.

AUSD Board Policy 5131 outlines cell phone use for students. All cell phones, smart watches, airpods/earbuds/headphones must be powered OFF and put away inside backpacks/purses during instructional time, unless given permission by staff. Technology use is NOT PERMITTED during recess or lunch. If you must contact your child, please contact the office. Please refer to the AUSD Parent and Student Handbook for additional information regarding responsible technology use.

During the 2024–2025 school year, the District gathered data through surveys from students, families, teachers, administrators, and staff to help guide the development of our Cell Phone Use Policy in alignment with AB 3126 (The Phone-Free School Act). We are now entering the next phase of the process: engaging and facilitating focus groups and interviews to ensure robust community input in creating this policy. Principals, please submit names from each of the stakeholder groups (Students, Parents/Families, Teachers, Administrators, Staff) who are willing to participate by completing the form: click on image.

We continue our work with Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS), an evidence-based, three-tiered framework to improve and integrate all of the data, systems and practices affecting student outcomes every day. The goal of PBIS is to create a positive school climate where students learn and grow. School climate has a direct impact on attendance rates, academic achievement, and engagement. PBIS is a District-wide initiative.

Please take a moment to complete the Household Income Survey via your Parent Portal. This household income survey helps to ensure that our District and our school receive all the funding for which we are eligible to serve all students equitably. Every student in Alhambra Unified will continue to receive breakfast and lunch at no cost. Separate from the National School Lunch Program, this data may help students and schools qualify for additional state and federal funding to serve all students equitably and offer services such as free wireless hotspots, after-school programs, SAT/ACT fee waivers, lower rates for district's telecommunications, and grants.

"Hello, I am Ms. de Dios, I am the new Kindergarten teacher at Fremont. I love working with this age group, their curiosity and creativity make everyday an adventure. Outside the classroom, you will most likely find me wrapped up in a good book, especially if I can enjoy it outdoors in a park or natural environment. I am looking forward to a fun and joyful year of learning and growing together."

Hello, my name is Rodolfo Arias, and I am excited to begin my first year teaching first grade dual immersion at Fremont Elementary. I believe any situation can be overcome with a smile! I look forward to a joyful year of learning with my students!

My name is Maestra Cervantes, and I am thrilled to join the Alhambra Unified School District this year. I have worked in Spanish dual language programs for over five years, supporting students from kindergarten through fifth grade as an instructional aide and later teaching third grade. This year, I will be teaching fourth grade. I am passionate about the dual language program and the ways it helps students grow academically while exploring and appreciating multiple languages and cultures. I am committed to creating an inclusive classroom where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I look forward to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and partnership with our school community.

My name is Ms. Dianna Johnson. I am happy to be the new Learning Center Teacher for TK-5 grades. I started as a general education teacher back in 1995 working with students in grades K-6. I have worked all over southern, central and northern California and more recently started working with students with disabilities in the middle grades here in the Los Angeles area. On a personal note, I just sent my daughter away to college. I spend my free time relaxing at home, trying new recipes, and creating in my ceramics classes.
