September 20, 2023

Update: September 20, 2023, 10:25am

Dear Fremont Unified Community,

Air quality conditions are improving across much of Fremont, though we know these conditions can change quickly, and vary across neighborhoods.

Our District will continue to monitor local air quality using several sources, including AirNow, and activity modifications at each school site may change throughout the day in alignment with the recommended activity modifications for specified air quality levels, based on the air quality in the school’s immediate area.

Current information will continue to be posted to our website, and the District and/or sites will send further communication if any action is needed.

Sincerely,

CJ Cammack
Superintendent

Dear Fremont Unified Community,

We are experiencing poor air quality in our area due to fires in Northern California and Oregon.

All schools are open, with some modifications to minimize the impact of the poor air quality on students and staff:

  • Windows and doors will remain closed to maintain healthy air quality indoors

  • HVAC and air filtration systems will be used where possible to improve indoor air

  • Physical education classes will be indoors to the extent possible, with no vigorous activities outdoors

  • Recess and lunch will be held indoors to the extent possible, with a goal of minimizing the amount of time students and staff are outdoors

  • After-school activities/sports will be modified as needed, please await specific information from your student’s school

Our District is continuing to monitor local air quality using several sources, including  AirNow, and will refer to the  recommended activity modifications for specified air quality levels from the  Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

Students and staff may wish to wear a face covering, such as an N-95 mask. Limited quantities of face coverings may be available for those with respiratory needs, such as asthma, in our front offices.

Employees who work outdoors should consult with their immediate supervisor for modifications and/or additional safety measures.

Current information will be posted to  our website, and the District and/or sites will send further communication if any action is needed.

Sincerely,

CJ Cammack
Superintendent
