Principal's Message
Thank you to all the families who come to Parent-Teacher Conferences. I also would like to congratulations all the students who made their first trimester AR reading goals and had the opportunity to go ice skating.
We are collecting gently used athletic type shoes until December 13. Thank you to those who have already brought in shoes. Also, on December 13th, PTA will have their annual Cookies and Cocoa with Santa. We hope that you will be able to join us for a fun evening.
I would like to remind parents that you must sign in at the front office if you are on campus once the school day has begun. It is not safe to have adults roaming around during the day. If you are bringing your child his/her lunch, please drop it off in front of the office. If your child forgot their jacket or homework at home, you must bring it to the office and we will deliver it to your child. Please do not go to their classroom without signing in.
It is hard to believe that it will already be the new year. During the winter break my hope is that you are able to spend time with your loved ones. Play a game, have a special meal, and enjoy each other. I look forward to spending 2020 with the Green community.
Sincerely,
Ms. Johnson

GATE Information 2019-2020
Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) provides support for gifted and talented (GATE) students through differentiated instruction. We believe that differentiated instruction not only serves the needs of our exceptional students, but also enhances the entire educational program for all students.
GATE testing for 3rd grade students
All 3rd grade students will have the opportunity to be tested for GATE. The window for GATE testing is January 27, 2020 - February 14, 2020. Each school will set administer testing within this window.
The testing process is automatic and does not require parents of 3rd grade students to opt in. Any student whose parent does not want their child to participate in testing must submit an opt-out form to the Assessment and Accountability Department, 4210 Technology Drive, Room 280, Fremont, California 94538, no later than December 13, 2019. Requests submitted after the deadline will not be accepted.
GATE testing for 4th and 5th grade students
Students in 4th or 5th grade who have not taken the GATE assessment at FUSD have the option to take the GATE assessment. These might be students who are new to the district or who were opted out of GATE testing in 3rd grade. If your 4th or 5th grade child is eligible for GATE testing this year and you would like them to be included in this test, please submit an opt-in form to the Assessment and Accountability Department by December 13, 2019. 5th grade is the last opportunity for students to be assessed with the GATE test.
The window for GATE testing is January 27, 2020 - February 14, 2020. Each school will set administer testing within this window.
GATE identification for 5th and 6th grade students
Students in 5th or 6th grade who were not identified in an earlier grade may be considered for GATE identification through the professional judgement process. Teachers and/or parents may nominate students. A completed Nomination Form must be submitted to the school Principal by December 13, 2019. Additional information and forms are available in the student’s school office and may also be downloaded from the FUSD website.

When dropping off student lunches, please mark with child's name and room number.
Lost and found items not picked up by December 20 will be donated to a local charity.
Extended Absences from School
Per FUSD School Board Policy 5113.1, students who have 10 consecutive unexcused absences will be dropped from enrollment and may re enroll at FUSD Student Support Services upon their return. They will be assigned to a school with an available space at that grade level. This may not be the school they were attending before the absence.
Independent Study (IS) contract may be granted for absences between 5 and 10 consecutive days. You must apply for the contract at least 10 school days before the start of the absence. Permission to have an IS contract is at the discretion of the school and will be based on the student's academic performance and their history with previous IS contracts. Students are allowed 3 contracts during Kindergarten through 12th grade in FUSD.
No Independent Study Contracts will be granted for the first 20 days of school or the last 20 days of school.
