Since\u00a0becoming superintendent of Fremont Unified on July 1, I have truly enjoyed my\u00a0<\/a>time. It’s been a pleasure to meet so many dedicated students, staff, and community members. I look forward to meeting and collaborating with many more of you as we dig into the work ahead.<\/p>\r\n In the coming year, I look forward to getting to know Fremont and building relationships centered on positivity and trust. I will keep the District moving in the direction set by the Board of Education in consultation with our staff and community, and we will collectively remain responsive to emerging needs and opportunities.<\/p>\r\n I am thrilled that at the start of my tenure in this district, I get to jump into the amazing work of our staff in partnership with our community and Board to develop the draft\u00a0Long Range Facilities Plan<\/a>\u00a0that came forward at last week’s Board meeting. The work done to date is truly impressive and monumental. This week our Board reached the next milestone in this process and\u00a0unanimously decided to add to the November ballot<\/a>\u00a0an opportunity for the Fremont community to vote on a general obligation bond to support facility improvements in our district’s schools.<\/p>\r\n Another notable effort in the coming year will be engaging our staff and community in a\u00a0comprehensive process to balance our budget for the 2025-2026 school year<\/a>. I am eager to engage in all the work ahead to help build toward a better future for our students, staff, and families. Find information below to get involved in this work in the coming months.<\/p>\r\n This is the first Superintendent’s Newsletter of the year. You can expect to see a new edition once a month during the school year, with updates from my office and the District, as well as separate time-sensitive updates, reminders, and notifications as needed.<\/p>\r\n Last week the District sent back-to-school notices and reminders;\u00a0please click here if you haven’t had a chance to review them yet<\/a>, and keep an eye on your email, visit your\u00a0school’s website<\/a>, and view\u00a0the Fremont Unified website<\/a>\u00a0for any additional information. Please also follow #FremontUnified on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, and\u00a0LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0for the latest news about our students, staff, and schools.<\/p>\r\n I wish you a joyful and safe remainder of summer break, and I thank the many of you for helping prepare for the coming school year and beyond.\u00a0All of us at Fremont Unified look forward to seeing you on the first day of school: Wednesday, August 14.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Sincerely,<\/p>\r\nErik Burmeister Students who are not in school the first day will not be guaranteed a seat in their assigned classes, and may be overloaded to other classes\/schools upon return.\u00a0<\/strong>Parents\/Guardians must notify office staff if a student will be absent for illness.
