Bathroom Etiquette
Parents, please speak with your children about proper bathroom use. We are finding student bathrooms where underwear is left behind, feces is outside of the toilet and excess toilet paper is wasted and left on the ground or in the toilet. Our custodians are working hard to keep up with all of the bathroom mess we are finding each day. Please remind students to use the bathroom appropriately and to avoid playing or making a mess in the student bathrooms. Thank you.
MAZE Day 23-24
MAZE is Fremont Unified School District’s annual registration confirmation process in which parents/guardians:
provide required information for each enrolled student - such as emergency contacts,
acknowledge certain parent/guardian and student rights and responsibilities, and
access specific school forms/information
The window to complete the MAZE process for the 2023-24 school year is July 17 to August 7, 2023.
