A Performance-Qualified Corporation 2019-20!
The Indiana Department of Education and the Office of School Accountability & Accreditation would like to congratulate you on your school corporation’s 2017-18 A-F school performance! Your school corporation has received the status of a Performance Qualified School District for the 2018-19 school year.
In order to be eligible for the performance qualified program, a district must receive an A for the previous school year. A district remains designated as a qualified district until it either receives a C or lower for one school year, or receives a B or lower for two consecutive school years.
WHAT THIS MEANS:
IC 20-30-2-2 requires that the instructional day for grades 1-6 consist of at least 5 hours of instructional time, and the instructional day for grades 7-12 consist of at least 6 hours of instructional time. However, a school that is eligible for the performance qualified school program may exercise some flexibility around these instructional time requirements.
IC 20-24.2-4-2 provides that a performance qualified school corporation does not have to provide 180 student instructional days so long as the total number of instructional minutes provided in a school year meets the required timeframe.
- For grades 1-6 that looks like 54,000 minutes of required instructional time (5 hours * 180 days = 900 hours * 60 minutes = 54,000 minutes)
- For grades 7-12 that looks like 64,800 minutes of required instructional time ( 6 hours * 180 days = 1080 hours * 60 minutes = 64,800 minutes)

Fremont Tips
Three Keys to Success
Fremont faculty and staff regularly emphasize three keys to succeeding throughout school: attendance, work ethic and extra participation. Students who show up on time, work hard and get involved will certainly get the most out of their middle school and high school years. This is not to say that they will not face challenges. School should be challenging to adequately prepare students for life after graduation. Students who work on these three keys, however, will find the strength within and the resources around them necessary to achieve in the face of obstacles. These keys not only help students to find academic success but lifelong fulfillment as well.Reading At Home Increases Student Achievement
Fremont builds in time for students to read at school each day, but research shows that this may not be enough. Students who read at home in addition to reading at school tend to have higher test scores. Here are some ways to incorporate reading at home!- Read the cereal box each morning
- Find a reading website or app that your child enjoys
- Look up information about a favorite subject on the computer
- Take regular trips to the library
- Start a book club with friends
- Model reading by reading in front of and to your children
The Importance of Parent/Teacher Collaboration
Parents and teachers share the same goals for children and students; they want each individual to do their best. This will happen when parents and teachers work together. This can happen in a number of ways.- Keeping lines of communication open between parents and teachers
