Superintendent’s Newsletter

We are four weeks into the school year, and I am incredibly excited by all that we’ve accomplished across Fremont Unified. 

In addition to the great work happening at each of our schools to meet the needs of students, the successful launch of an expanded TK, extended day kindergarten, and conversion of Centerville, Hopkins and Thornton middle schools were all remarkable achievements. I send congratulations and gratitude to everyone involved in that work.

I am happy to report that our student enrollment exceeded projections this year, and our staffing level was exceptional with nearly every class being covered by an FUSD teacher to start the year. In the rare circumstance where a teacher was not yet hired, we had dedicated and caring long-term credentialed substitutes in place. I’ll note that our district is continuing to decline in enrollment from year to year (although this year we only declined by approximately 97 students), as are the vast majority of school districts in California. These topics will be covered in our School Funding Presentations in October, see below for more information. 

I extend my gratitude to each of you for entrusting Fremont Unified to serve our community and educate our students. I do not take your trust or partnership for granted. 

We have much to look forward to – let’s have a great year!
