Dear Parents & Students,

We hope you are enjoying the last few days of summer. Enclosed in this email are several reminders and “helps” to help you prepare for school to begin. Here is what is coming up on the calendar.

• SMART Start - for all new students and incoming sophomores is this coming Friday August 16th and will begin at 2:00 p.m. in the FHS auditorium. We are excited to welcome all our newest members of the PACK! We are looking forward to sharing about all the different ways students can get involved, find success, make friends, and get connected this year at FHS! 

• Just a reminder counselors will not be available on this day to meet individually with students. 

• Back to School Night- Also on August 16th from 1:00- 6:00 p.m. We are excited to meet you! We invite you to come and meet your teachers, find your classes, and get better acquainted with the building so that you feel more confident about navigating your first day of school. Teachers will be in their classrooms and look forward to kicking off the school year with you.

• Fremont vs. Mtn. Ridge- We would love to see you join us after Back to School night for our 1st football game of the season. We host Mtn. Ridge. This is an Endowment game so all patrons must pay. These funds go to the UHSAA Endowment fund. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for senior citizens (65 and older), all students (including FHS students) tickets are $5 ages 6-17, ages 5 and under are free. You can purchase tickets through the schools athletics website https://fremontathletics.com/ or purchase tickets at the gate (cash or card accepted). We are calling for a white out for our home opener!

Last, please make sure to pay special attention to the information below concerning student Chromebooks prior to the start of school:

1. Chromebook Won’t Turn On/Stopped Working/Won’t Charge:

• Many students may have closed the lid of their Chromebook over the summer, which puts it to sleep but doesn’t turn it off. This means the battery can completely drain over time. When this happens, plugging in the Chromebook to charge may not work. Students should perform a hard reset and leave the Chromebook charging overnight. Instructions are provided below.

• Students need to sign the AUP as soon as possible to avoid being locked out in October. The AUP can be signed at aup.wsd.net.

• Students can reset their passwords online. They can do so at account.wsd.net.

Chromebook Hard Reset for Charging Depleted Batteries:

1. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet and Chromebook.

2. Separate the two pieces of the charger for 1 minute, then reconnect.

3. Plug the charger into the wall and the Chromebook.

4. Open the Chromebook and press and hold the refresh key.

5. While still pressing the refresh key, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.

6. Release both keys.

7. Note that the charging light may not light up at this time.

8. Shut the lid and leave the Chromebook on the charger overnight without removing the power.

Thank you for your assistance in helping to prepare students for their 1st Day of School! We are eager to get things kicked off this year. As always, please reach out to us in the main office, should you have any questions. Thank you for your continued support of Fremont High School. Go Silverwolves!
