Placement Request for 2020- 2021
The placement of students in each class for next year is decided by the administration and the faculty and is a complex process with many variables that must be considered. The following criteria is used in order to accomplish the placement of students: academic needs, behavior needs, program needs, and student language needs. We will not accept requests for specific teachers.
If you would like to give input regarding your child’s educational needs please send an email to Ms. Johnson (tjohnson@fusdk12.net). Parents must understand that only the educational needs of the student will be considered. Requests must be submitted by email on May 8, 2020. Any requests received after this date will not be considered for the 2020- 2021 school year.
Comprehensive Health, Puberty, and Sexuality Education (CHPSE) Lessons
May 4, 2020
Dear Parent/Guardian:
The Fremont Unified School District Board of Education and our school faculty believe it is important for students to assume responsibility for their own health and well-being. They benefit from instruction that fosters the development of positive health behaviors and the prevention of negative unhealthy behaviors. FUSD’s Comprehensive Health, Puberty, and Sexuality Education (CHPSE) curriculum focuses on information that is essential for students’ well-being. This course of study conforms strictly to the guidelines provided by the California State Education Code 51933 and the California Healthy Youth Act.
These lessons will be taught by school district staff during the weeks of: May 26-June 10th
State law allows you to remove your student from part or all of the Comprehensive Health, Puberty, and Sexuality lessons. If you do not want your student to participate in all or part of the Comprehensive Health, Puberty, and Sexuality education program, you must provide, in writing (email or on paper), a note to your student’s teacher by Wednesday, May 20th.
Many schools teach this curriculum in the spring. Our current distance learning format requires us to be selective about what can be taught safely and effectively outside a classroom, so we will be teaching a subset of the lessons at most grade levels using online and independent activities. Students whose families prefer to opt them out of the lessons will not participate in the activities based on these lessons. Links to the curriculum, opt-out information, and parent resources, can be found at: https://www.fremont.k12.ca.us/HealthResources.
Thank you,
Ms. Johnson

Green Teacher of the Year- Mrs. Forbes
We are lucky to have such an amazing teacher at Harvey Green! Mrs. Forbes is an outstanding educator because of her amazing ability to create trusting relationships with students, staff and parents, while providing learning that inspires her students to work hard at a very rigorous level.
Every student at Green is a student of Mrs. Forbes'. Each child receives the same love and dedication from her and she never gives up on anyone. If what she is doing is not working, she will go in search of a new idea.
Way to go Mrs. Forbes!
