The 2022-2023 school year has been so much fun for the Junior High Library. So far, 6th graders are in the lead for most books checked-out but 7th graders are catching up! Students are enjoying the Christmas season with fun children's Christmas books and helping decorate the library.
The best Christmas present for our library was being awarded a grant from the Idaho Education Technology Association (IETA) to add to our technology/makerspace area for student's use. We are so grateful to be selected and are excited for the projects the grant allows us to pursue. Thank you IETA!
The Junior High Library wishes all a Merry Christmas and we are so excited for this coming year!
Mrs Thomas' Ag class today is making Bread in a Bag. The kids are having fun and the school spells like homemade bread. Wow.

More information will follow.

WINTER WEATHER. It looks like our extended fall is finally over, and winter weather has arrived. Here are a couple of reminders to help keep our students safe and warm this winter. Send your student to school with a warm coat and appropriate shoes. Make sure that the school has your current phone number and email address. If there is a school closure, we will be sending notices via phone call, text message, email, notifications on the district app, Facebook, and local media. We will do our best to let you know far enough in advance to make any necessary arrangements for your students. Thank you for your support, and enjoy the winter!

The 7th Grade life science students used their knowledge of cells and organelles to make a model of a plant or animal cell using a sugar cookie! Scientists often use modes to represent things that are too small or too large to see. It was a delicious and creative way to review the parts of the cell!

SUPPLEMENTAL LEVY ELECTION. Fremont County Joint School District has asked the patrons to vote on a supplemental levy on the November general election ballot. This is a replacement levy for our current supplemental levy that we have typically voted on in March. Though the vote has moved to November, the proposed levy would still go into effect for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2023 and ending June 30, 2025. The proposed levy would be used to continue to provide funding for textbooks, technology, musical instruments, building and security needs, and to attract and retain highly qualified staff. You can expect your taxes for Fremont School District to remain the same or relatively close, depending on the assessed value of your property. We are not changing the amount of this levy, so unless your property has increased in value more than other property in the district, your taxes should remain the same or similar. The actual ballot question can be viewed on our District website (www.sd215.net). Thank you for taking the time to vote.
The local Swat team (from Rexburg) brought a robot into our Cyber Security class yesterday. The purpose was to let the kids see how this technology helps keep our community safe. The kids had a great time. We want to thank the Swat team and Mrs. Codling for this great activity.
