Aeries Parent Portal & 2026-27 MAZE Process

In July 2026, parents and guardians of students enrolled for 2026-27 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.

ATTENDANCE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND UNEXCUSED ABSENCES

The 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR STARTS ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2026.  All students are expected to report to school on the first day, Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Students who have not attended the first day of school will be dropped at the end of the first day of school. Students who are dropped will not be guaranteed a seat at the school and may have to be overloaded to other schools upon return. The only exceptions will be students who are absent due to illness. If a student is absent the first day due to illness, parents or guardians must notify the school  every day the student is absent.  Seats will not  be held for students on extended vacations or other optional activities, whether or not the school is notified. (AR5113.1). After 10 consecutive (uninterrupted) school days of unexcused absences, a student is dropped from the roster and must re-enroll at the district office. No exceptions will be made.

Combo Classes for the 2026-2027 School Year

As we begin getting ready for the 2026-2027 school year it is an important time for us to reach out to you with information about the year. Because of the growing number of students and because students don’t always neatly match the numbers of teachers at schools, “combinations”, “combos”, or “split classes” are formed to accommodate a group of students at a grade level. This is a common occurrence across Fremont Unified School District as well as the state of California and the nation. Included are common questions and concerns about combination classes for you to review. Here is the link for Combo class

YEARBOOKS
