Office Business and Visitor Policy

When possible our office staff prefers to support parents and families via email or phone. Please be sure your child(ren) has all of their belongings (backpack, lunch, water bottle, etc) upon school arrival. Our office will not accept any late drop-offs of lunches, water bottles, or other items.

All volunteers/visitors must be pre-approved by the teacher and principal. All volunteers/visitors must check in at the office prior to going into a classroom.

Have You Moved?

Please complete and email the Change of Address Form along with 2 residency proofs of your new address to our School Secretary for processing.

If you are moving across town or changing apartment numbers, FUSD Board Policy states the family must inform the school within 5 days of your moving date or of any change in circumstance which would affect their student’s residency (AR 5111.1).

Please be sure to reach out to our office if you have moved recently so that the we can maintain accurate records and you receive all mailing for the 23-24 school year.

Communication from School

Fremont Unified is excited to launch ParentSquare, a unified platform that allows the District, schools, and teachers to communicate and engage with families and our community more effectively. Parents/Guardians will receive an activation email for their ParentSquare account before the start of school to gain access to a variety of features and tools. Those who do not register will still receive text, email, and phone notifications.

School communication may also include email, phone, and other communication apps utilized by staff. Be sure to update your email in the online MAZE day forms to receive important communication from the school. Please access our web page at fremontunified.org/msje to find the school calendar, schedule, and important announcements. Newsletters are emailed and posted online monthly.

Medications at MSJE

If your student requires medication at school for the 25-26 school year, please read the instructions below. Medications and forms need to be filled out each school year, even if you stored medication at school the previous year. Paperwork from the doctor's needs to be dated 6/1/25 and on.

Obtain FUSD health forms and have the doctor fill out and sign the forms. If you do not have access to a printer, the office staff can provide you with copies of the forms. Parents please fill out and sign your portion of the forms. Make sure the doctor lists anything that may trigger symptoms in your student.
Medications should be unexpired and in their original packaging and labeled with your student's name. Prescription medication must have a pharmacy label and remain in the original packaging.
If the doctor has authorized your student to self-carry and administer their medications please fill out Form E.
Submit medications and paperwork together. Forms that are missing information and signatures will be sent back with the medications until the forms are complete.
You can start dropping off medications and forms on August 4th.

** Medications turned in without doctor orders cannot be administered or stored at school. Medication will be returned to the parent until we receive doctor's orders.**

Please reach out to MSJE's School Nurse, Brianne DiMiceli (bdimiceli@fusdk12.net), with any questions you may have.
