Principal's Message
I would like to thank all the families that attended a parent teacher conference. It is always great to see how active our community is. Thank you to the teachers for all the extra hours you put in to meet with each family.
Last month, I informed you that the FUSD Board of Education was meeting to discuss the reopening plan; however, that was postponed until Wednesday, December 16th. Please see the district website for more information.
Our Student Council will be organizing a Can Food Drive December 14th-18th. Each day from 8:30am-2pm, there will be a bin located near room 1 where you can drop off non-perishable food items.
Please join us on Thursday, December 17th for our first ever PTA sponsored Zoom Family Fun Night. Please see the PTA section below for more information. You must register in advance to attend.
I want to wish everyone a Happy Holidays. Take some time to be with family, enjoy each other and continue to stay safe.
Sincerely,
Ms. Johnson

Holiday Request
Counselor's Corner with Ms. Huang
Can you believe we've made it to December?! What a crazy year it's been! To end this year on a positive note, I'm going to share something a little different... We've talked about "mindfulness;" I hope you and your families have the chance to continue practicing it. I'm sharing a Kindness Calendar that includes daily actions for every day of the month. I'd like to propose this as a challenge! Try to do as many as you can. If you can keep up and finish the entire month, that would be AWESOME! If not, even just a few would add to the theme of sharing kindness during this time of year. A little act of kindness goes a long way! Encourage your children and participate with them!
Stay tuned,
Ms. Huang

GATE Information
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.
In February of 2020, funding for the CogAT testing was cut as part of the budget savings. While the CogAT testing has been the primary means of qualifying students for GATE identification we are now in the process of identifying an alternative way of identifying students. There will not be a test for GATE eligibility given this year. We are currently revising the GATE identification process and handbook. FUSD will have an update by Spring 2021.
During the 2020/21 school year we will continue to identify 5th and 6th grade students who were not identified in an earlier grade. These students may be considered for GATE identification through the professional judgement process. Teachers (staff only) and/or parents may nominate a student. A completed nomination form must be submitted by the teacher or parent to the school Principal by December 11, 2020. Principals will set up meetings with the teacher, student, and parent to discuss the student’s eligibility for GATE identification. In June 2021, parents, teachers, and students who applied for professional judgement will be informed of their child’s GATE eligibility.
