Fremont News
School is a huge part of family and community life. It’s where our children spend their days; it’s where we gather to cheer on the home team, celebrate talent, and promote the pursuit of lifelong learning. Use this page to keep apprised of the news and events that affect your family.
The Books for Cougars Book Swap and Donation Day will be on April 25 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the Gannett Peak Gymnasium. The book swap is a chance to come grab some new books for your home libraries. These books will be a mixture of old, used, and discarded library books with lots of stories left in them. The best news is they are free! Leave your own unwanted books with us for another family to love. We are having this book swap because this year GPE received a generous donation from the LOR Foundation to buy books for every student. We are hoping to keep this going in the future and, therefore, are collecting monetary donations to support this cause. We will also have free bookmarks and temporary tattoos for the kids!
Would you like to donate money to this cause without coming to the event? You can drop off a check made out to Gannett Peak at the front office or send one to school with your kids. Please let us know it's for the "book swap".
Do you have books you'd like to swap/donate? You can drop them off at the front office between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. We'd love to take them off your hands.

Assessment Literacy Training for Teachers
The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) will engage a cohort of Wyoming educators in discussions about assessment using resources created through a partnership with the National Center for Improvement of Education Assessment. The goals of the assessment literacy training are to challenge and revise misconceptions about assessment, enhance knowledge about assessment, and provide opportunities to practice appropriate and accurate assessment uses. Educators will complete prerecorded modules prior to meeting virtually with WDE staff to engage in assessment discussions. Current and preservice teachers are welcome to participate at no cost.
To register, please complete the Assessment Literacy PD Registration form. Participants will receive a confirmation email with meeting details and instructions for accessing modules.
