Fremont Elementary School

I am not impressed with how this school operates at all. They have the most strict attendance policy that contradicts itself. In the school handbook it states that if a student is ill, they must stay home. However, when you keep your student home for illness, the absent is marked unexcused. Also, if you take them out of school 15 minutes before dismissal, they mark that student absent for the whole class. After 10 “absences” (including an early dismissal for appointments) the school will have a meeting with the parents and call social services. This policy does also include doctors notes. So it does not matter if you have a doctors note at all, they will call services on you. Not only is this a huge waste of tax dollar resources, but it’s absolutely unacceptable. Health care, including mental health and dental care is extremely important for a growing child. I will not tolerate being “punished” for caring for my children if it interferes with school.
