Below are the 2025–2026 School Supply Lists for Fremont and Penrose Elementary Schools, along with the Instructional Calendar to help you plan ahead.
Let’s get ready to make 2025–2026 our best year yet! Please note for the FJSHS: The junior/senior high school collects a $35 student fee to help cover general student supplies. In addition, teachers will provide course-specific supply lists after the first day of school. Students enrolled in classes with additional fees should pay those fees during the first week of school. A full list of student fees can be found in the student handbook. We also ask each student to bring one ream of copy paper and turn it in to their first-hour teacher.

Pictured: Mike Cafasso, St. Thomas More CEO; Debbie Wolfe, Weekend Food Bag Program Coordinator; Linda Russell, Philanthropy Officer
The Fremont Re-2 School District’s Weekend Food Bag Program—Bear HUGS at Fremont Elementary and Beaver Packs at Penrose Elementary—received a generous grant of over $7,300 from the Yankton Benedictine Sisters Fund through the St. Thomas More Hospital Foundation.
Fremont Re-2 was one of 13 recipients awarded a share of $73,000 aimed at improving community health and wellness. The program, supported by 12 adult volunteers and several FHS students, packs 210 food bags weekly for families in need.
We are truly grateful for this support—it will go a long way in helping us continue providing nutritious food to our students. Thank you, Yankton Benedictine Sisters!
