Panther News and Updates

Hello Parkmont Community,

Happy Spring!

Last week, our PTA hosted the Family Culture Fair, and it was incredible to see so many cultures beautifully represented. The evening was filled with delicious food, engaging activities, exciting games, a vibrant fashion show, and a special performance by Mr. Kelly and Ms. Lee’s kindergarten classes—thank you to Music for Minors for making it possible!

A heartfelt thank you to all the families who hosted booths, including our very own Parkmont faculty members, Ms. Wilson and Ms. Ditona. The booths were colorful, creative, and truly showcased the diversity of our Parkmont community.

We also want to extend a huge thank you to our amazing PTA for organizing this event. With so many parent volunteers contributing, it’s impossible to name everyone, but a special shoutout goes to Anna Chen for her incredible coordination.

This was a truly special Parkmont community event—thank you to everyone who participated and attended. What a fantastic night!

Walt Lewis, Proud Principal

Let's Be a Good Neighbor

Dear Parkmont Families,


Recently, we have received multiple concerns from our Parkmont neighbors regarding certain behaviors that are causing unnecessary stress.
Please be mindful of the following:

  • Parking & Traffic: During pick-up and drop-off, several cars have been blocking driveways, preventing residents from entering or exiting their homes. Please ensure you park in designated areas without obstructing driveways or streets. Fremont PD periodically patrols the area during these times and has issued citations to those violating parking laws.

  • Respecting Private Property: We kindly ask that you remind your children to stay on sidewalks and avoid walking or playing on neighbors' lawns, standing on fences, or interacting with private property as they travel home. This helps maintain a respectful and positive relationship with our community.

Thank you for your cooperation and for being a considerate neighbor. We appreciate your support in keeping our community a safe and welcoming place for everyone.
