School Placement

During your enrollment appointment your child will not be placed at a school; placement comes once we’ve established availability at each school site for each grade level.

• In the event that there is not space at your “home school” your student will

be “overloaded” to a school with space. ○ When overloading, we try to keep students as close to their home school as possible and within the attendance area.

• Placement is done by enrollment date and time (with the exception of kinder priority

students, which are by Lottery number).

• If overloaded, your student will be placed on a waitlist at the home school

○ Students are “called back” to the home school, in order of waitlist number, as the space becomes available.

Special Program Application Process

Immersion Program (Spanish, located at “Marshall Elementary” or Mandarin, located at Azevada Elementary): Immersion education is an alternative educational model designed to provide students with fluency and literacy in two

• languages. In these programs, all students

develop literacy in the target language first with the gradual addition of English. Students in the Immersion program are taught using the same California State Standards as all other students in the

• district. The Immersion program is offered in

Spanish and Mandarin for students in grades K-8. Science Magnet, locate at Mattos Elementary: Mattos Elementary offers a "Soaring into Science" program that turns natural curiosity into a unique learning experience for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. The program uses approved district and state curriculum standards and enhances these with additional programs, such as the Programming For Kids (P4K) initiative that introduces students to computer programming and the Math-Science Nucleus partnership that brings docents into the classroom to teach hands-on science. In addition, Mattos has an active PTA-sponsored Science Committee that organizes such events as the annual Astronomy Night, an annual Family Science Night and other extracurricular science-based activities. Students may enter Mattos at any grade.

Enrollment Tips

• Enrollments are finalized when all documentation is received by Student

Support Services - Pre-registration summary, proof of birth, updated immunizations, proofs of residency, homeowner/renter statement of residency

• Existing residency in Fremont is required for enrollment. A family must

currently reside in Fremont - being in escrow does not establish residency.

• The name of the parent/guardian who comes to the enrollment appointment

needs to appear on the proof of residency documents.

• During TK-K Priority Enrollment, there is no priority based on appointment

date time. All students enrolled during the priority window (Jan. 14-Feb. 22) are eligible for kinder lottery, if needed.
