Welcome to Fremont PTA!
Welcome to Fremont PTA!
Fremont PTA is a not-for-profit service organization that works to ensure the best possible experience and environment for Fremont's children, teachers and staff. Through our fundraising efforts we are able to offer curriculum-based school programs, facility improvements, teacher appreciation activities and social events to promote the strong sense of community we enjoy at Fremont. Through our volunteer efforts we provide thousands of hours of support to students, teachers and staff inside and outside the classroom. Becoming involved in the PTA is a great way to share opinions and information with other parents and your child's teachers, to learn about what's going on in school, to promote programs enhancing the education at Fremont and to be part of a strong voice speaking for our children's welfare. You do not have to attend meetings to be a member of the PTA!
Although the Fremont PTA is primarily a service organization, we do need to raise approximately $40,000 per year to keep our programs going. This sounds like a lot, but it really breaks down to only about $60 per student per year. Some families generously exceed this amount annually and we say: thank you! Don’t stop! For other families who may find financial donations more difficult, please keep in mind that every little bit counts. Together with the Fremont Foundation our goal is 100% financial participation from families. So whether you can give $5 or $500, your contribution makes a difference!
We hope to see you at our PTA meetings, usually held on the first Wednesday of the month at 8:30 a.m. in the auditorium. Attending PTA meetings is a great way to keep informed and be a part of your child’s school experience. Our monthly meetings usually last until around 9.30 a.m., but if you can’t stay for the entire meeting, that’s fine! Children are always welcome at PTA meetings.
For more information, please contact PTA President, Caroline Larson.

Alumni Scholarships
Each year the Fremont PTA awards scholarships to college-bound graduating high school seniors from CVHS & Clark Magnet HS who attended Fremont Elementary School. The winners are decided by a committee made up of the Scholarship Chairperson and four PTA Board Members. Scholarship winners are presented with their awards at Fremont in front of the entire school, inspiring our current students to also achieve great things.
The Fremont Bear Scholarship is based on overall achievement and requires attendance at Fremont from K-6. Specialized Scholarships are also given to students going into fields such as art/literature, teaching or technology. Those awards have additional submission requirements and the applicant must have attended Fremont for a minimum of three years. The application link will be posted on the website home page later in the school year.
