FSD79 Strategic Planning Survey
Thank you to all those who have already completed our strategic planning survey. To date, we have received 700+ responses from parents and community members.
If you have not yet participated, the survey will remain open through this Saturday, January 21. This is your opportunity to verify and prioritize the goal areas as we develop the 2023-2027 Fremont School District 79 Strategic Plan. This survey is anonymous, is available in both English and Spanish, and should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Note: We recognize that parents may have varying opinions on certain questions based upon experiences with multiple children or schools. Please do your best to encapsulate your opinions into one response as individuals should only complete one survey.

ART AWARENESS VOLUNTEERS
It's not too late to be an Art Awareness volunteer! If you enjoy putting together projects for kids, we could use your help in the K-5 classrooms. As an art awareness volunteer, you simply put a project together that can be tied to an artist, schedule a time with the teacher to go in and present the lesson to the kids. The students absolutely love it and it only requires about 2 hours a month of your time. We have plenty of resources and supplies available for you to use. The classroom teacher is always there to assure you have a positive experience. You don't need to have a background in teaching or art. Contact Lauren Rollinger at lauren.rollinger@gmail.com
ORDER YOUR YEARBOOKS!
Don't forget to order your student's yearbook this year! Use this flyer for links and school codes.
