MAZE Process / Proceso de MAZE / MAZE 流程  

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. 

Completing the MAZE process ensures your student’s school has accurate information, and allows families to view student schedules/classroom assignments and their teachers when that information is released in August.

MAZE forms for all FUSD students must be completed online through the Infinite Campus (IC) Parent Portal. The window to complete the MAZE process for the 2023-24 school year is July 17 to August 7, 2023. 

While MAZE forms will not be available until July 17, we strongly recommend that you take a few moments and log into your IC Parent Portal now to address any access issues. Click here for IC Parent Portal troubleshooting and support. 

Please do not complete the New Student Registration as it will duplicate your student(s).

Parents/Guardians will receive a notice MAZE information at the email address indicated in the IC Parent Portal, and updates will be posted to both the FUSD and school websites.
