You should have received a message from the Fremont Unified School District regarding the introduction of a new Self-Service Password Reset Tool through the ClassLink platform. This will allow students to manage their own account passwords securely and efficiently.
Please read through the instructions thoroughly and complete steps to reset and enable recovery of the password for your student’s user account.
Students will need to use this password to login to their accounts at school, so please be sure they are able to login in independently and can remember their password.

Aeries Parent Portal & 2024-25 MAZE Process
Fremont Unified will transition from Infinite Campus to Aeries as our student information system for the 2024-25 school year. In July 2024, parents and guardians of students enrolled for 2024-25 will receive information to activate their Aeries Parent Portal, and will use the Portal to complete the annual MAZE process, called “Parent Data Confirmation” in Aeries.
MAZE is Fremont Unified School District’s annual data confirmation process in which parents/guardians:
provide required information for each enrolled student – such as emergency contacts,
acknowledge certain parent/guardian and student rights and responsibilities, and
access specific school forms/information.
Completing the MAZE process ensures your student’s school has accurate information, and allows families to view student schedules/classroom assignments and their teachers when that information is released in August.
Please look out for additional information about activating your Aeries Parent Portal and completing the MAZE process in the coming months.
Volunteers Needed!

Attendance Counts!
This is the time of year when winter weather takes a toll on school attendance. Road conditions and rain can make it hard to get your children to school. So can illnesses such as colds, flu, fevers, earaches, and COVID-19.
These absences, even if they are excused, break the routine of daily attendance which can impact students feeling connected and engaged in learning. Please consider these steps to keep your children healthy and in school this winter.
1. Develop back up plans for getting your children to school. Check who can give your children a ride if you can’t take them, or form a “walking school bus” to walk to school with other families.
2. If your children get sick or you are concerned about Covid or the flu, talk to your child’s medical provider or the school nurse for advice.
3. Stomach pain and headaches can be signs of anxiety and may not be reasons for keeping a child home. If you feel that anxiety or stress is playing a role, talk to your child’s teacher, the school nurse, counselor or your medical provider about how best to support your child.
4. Encourage children to wash their hands before and after eating and after using the restroom.
5. Encourage healthy habits such as getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, drinking fluids and getting exercise.
