Please do not send Needoh type fidgets to school with your students.

We understand that fidgets can help students focus on school work. We advocate that students use these tools to help them. We have found that the Needoh or squishy types of fidgets are being used inappropriately by students. Students have been cutting them open, poking holes in them, or otherwise breaking them apart in class and in bathrooms making a distraction and a mess that is difficult to clean up. When the substance inside dries, often times it is difficult to remove from floors, bathroom stalls, desks etc.
These types of fidgets are no longer allowed at Fremont Middle School. Please keep them at home. Students are allowed to have other types of fidget toys if they are appropriately used.

Support the Fremont Hawks Football Program

🍕 Support the Fremont Hawks Football Program: It’s Pizza Time!
 Little Caesars Pizza Kit Fundraiser!
Who are you supporting?
Every dollar raised goes directly toward the Fremont Middle School Football program. Specifically, these funds will support our current 7th and 8th-grade teams as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 season.
Why it matters:
Our goal isn't just to get through this season; it's to build a legacy for years to come. We are raising money to:
  • Modernize Training Tools: Purchasing new sleds, dummies, and tech to help our boys develop their skills safely and effectively.
  • Invest in the Future: Creating a sustainable fund so that every athlete who walks onto our field—now and in the future—has access to top-tier gear.

Help me give our students the football updated equipment needed to be successful. To reach our goal, we need everyone’s help. It’s easy to join the fun!

Here is the pizza Purchase link

FMS Robotics

Our robotics program was very fortunate to have received two grants towards our new competition robotics opportunity. The first grant from the Kuna Education Foundation will go towards helping students to register their teams with VEX and the RECF so that they get the opportunity to compete. The second grant from the Kuna Meta Data Center will go towards the purchase of a VEX competition field to have at Fremont. This field is equipped with anti-static mats and competition technologies that make it possible for competition robotics students to practice how they will be competing. We are so grateful for our amazing community partners.

Below are pictures from our Robotics Team participating in State.

Energy Drinks

We are committed to fostering an environment where students can stay focused, healthy, and ready to learn. To support this, we’d like to remind all students and families that energy drinks are not permitted on school grounds.
While we understand the temptation to grab a quick boost during a long day, these drinks often contain high levels of caffeine, taurine, and sugar that aren't ideal for a learning environment.

Feed It Forward

Feed it Foward-Donation Opportunity

 Feed It Forward: Supporting Students, One Meal at a Time 

 No child should go hungry. No child should be shamed. 

A Feed It Forward program allows community members to make financial contributions to cover student meal debt or negative balances, ensuring every child has access to a healthy meal.

 How It Works

1 Donation
Community members, parents, or organizations donate funds through the school’s online meal payment system LINQ when adding funds to your student account or you can drop off cash or check at the district office or the office at Fremont Middle School indicating it’s for Fremont Middle School.
2. Fund Application
Donations are applied to reduce or eliminate student meal debt.
3.  No Stigma
Students receive meals without being denied food or experiencing “lunch shaming.” When students come through the breakfast or lunch line and don't have the funds to cover the cost of their meal the cashier can choose to use the school’s account.
4Using the Account
No Al A Carte purchases. Students will only be able to use the school account for full meals and not individual items (ex. An extra piece of pizza, an extra roll, or an extra cookie.
No Second Meals. Second meals on a student account are charged at the adult price. Allowing students to purchase second meals on the school account will deplete the account more quickly. 

 Why It’s Important

✅ Combats Hunger – Ensures all students receive nutritious meals, regardless of ability to pay.
✅Community Support – Gives community members a way to directly support local schools. 
✅Addresses Meal Debt – Helps schools manage outstanding balances. 
✅Reduces Lunch Shaming – Promotes a positive, supportive school environment.

🙌 Get Involved Today!

Your contribution makes a direct difference for children in your community.

Together, we can feed it forward.
