He reminded everyone that the current Directed Health Measure that requires the wearing of face coverings expires on March 31, 2021, at midnight. He said, “citizens should not view the expiration of the mask mandate as a sign that the threat of COVID-19 no longer exists, but rather it is an opportunity for the community to demonstrate our ability to act responsibly and to continue to protect ourselves and others from this deadly virus. I will continue to work with Three Rivers Health Department (Three Rivers) to monitor the spread of virus and if the risk dial begins to trend upward or if a surge develops in our community, I will work with Three Rivers Board and the Fremont Board of Health to take the necessary steps to curb the surge. I am proud of the efforts Fremont and the surrounding communities have made to control the virus and now, with an increase in vaccines available, our job should be to educate and encourage everyone to get vaccinated. Only then, can we truly defeat the COVID-19 virus.”

The following entities are providing an update regarding the status of current prevention measures as well as the announcements of availability of facilities, events, and activities in Fremont.

A medida que el clima continúa girando hacia la primavera, debemos recordar que COVID-19 todavía está presente en nuestra comunidad. Durante este tiempo, debemos permanecer atentos para mantenernos seguros a nosotros mismos y a los demás al seguir los protocolos, las buenas prácticas de higiene y el uso de una máscara.

Fremont Public Schools Announces Calendar Change

Fremont, Neb. – (Mar. 8, 2020) Fremont Public Schools is announcing that the 2020-2021 school year will end early on Monday, May 17 – three days early. Dismissal times will be the same as previously scheduled on May 20.

FPS has been working with the Nebraska Department of Education very closely throughout all the changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Framework developed by NDE is going to help districts guide their work to be able to accelerate learning for all our students as we move into summer programming for 2021, the school year 2021-2022, and the school year 2022-2023.

Kate Heineman, executive director of teaching and learning stated, “The scope of this work is lengthy and requires all teachers in all content areas to accomplish. We are very proud of our teachers and staff in all that they have done to keep all of our students learning whether in person or virtually.”

President of the Board of Education, Sandi Proskovec shared, “Our staff has put forth an outstanding effort this school year. This framework requires time and we want to be supportive in providing our staff the ability to accomplish it for the future success of our students.”

Teachers will go through all of the curriculum, identify the essential learnings and review the past 15 months of work to identify gaps that will need to be addressed. The nature of education is that current learning draws on past learnings and experiences – when those have not been met it becomes extremely difficult to continue to move forward.

“NDE has provided local school districts with flexibility in meeting the requirements outlined in State rules and regulations – this flexibility will allow Fremont Public Schools to be better prepared to meet the needs of our students,” stated Mark Shepard, superintendent of schools.

Las escuelas públicas de Fremont anuncian cambio de calendario

Fremont, Nebraska – (8 de marzo de 2020) Las Escuelas Públicas de Fremont anuncian que el año escolar 2020-2021 terminará temprano el lunes 17 de mayo, tres días antes. Los horarios de salida serán los mismos que los programados previamente para el 20 de mayo.

FPS ha estado trabajando muy de cerca con el Departamento de Educación de Nebraska durante todos los cambios asociados con la pandemia de COVID-19. El Marco desarrollado por NDEa ayudarálos distritos a guiar su trabajo para poder acelerar el aprendizaje de todos nuestros estudiantes a medida que avanzamos hacia la programación de verano para 2021, el año escolar 2021-2022 y el año escolar 2022-2023.

Kate Heineman, directora ejecutiva de enseñanza y aprendizaje declaró: “El alcance de este trabajo es largo y requiere que todos los maestros en todas las áreas de contenido lo logren. Estamos muy orgullosos de nuestros maestros y personal en todo lo que han hecho para que todos nuestros estudiantes sigan aprendiendo, ya sea en persona o virtualmente ”.

La presidenta de la Junta de Educación, Sandi Proskovec, compartió: “Nuestro personal ha realizado un esfuerzo sobresaliente este año escolar. Este marco requiere tiempo y queremos brindar apoyo al brindarle a nuestro personal la capacidad de lograrlo para el éxito futuro de nuestros estudiantes “.

Los maestros revisarán todo el plan de estudios, identificarán los aprendizajes esenciales y revisarán los últimos 15 meses de trabajo para identificar las brechas que deberán abordarse. La naturaleza de la educación es que el aprendizaje actual se basa en aprendizajes y experiencias pasadas; cuando no se han cumplido, se vuelve extremadamente difícil seguir avanzando.

“NDE ha proporcionado a los distritos escolares locales flexibilidad para cumplir con los requisitos descritos en las reglas y regulaciones estatales; esta flexibilidad permitirá que las Escuelas Públicas de Fremont estén mejor preparadas para satisfacer las necesidades de nuestros estudiantes”, declaró Mark Shepard, superintendente de escuelas.
