Illinois State Board of Education RTO Information
At Fremont School District 79, we are committed to fostering a positive and supportive learning environment through the use of proactive behavior management strategies. These strategies emphasize the importance of clear expectations, positive reinforcement, and consistent communication to promote good behavior and prevent disruptions. In line with our commitment to student safety and well-being, we have a comprehensive plan to reduce the use of physical restraint and time-out. This plan focuses on alternative, non-invasive methods to manage challenging behaviors, ensuring that physical restraint and time out are used only as a last resort. By prioritizing de-escalation techniques and supportive interventions, we aim to create a more inclusive and nurturing atmosphere for all students.

Translation & Interpretation Services for IEPs
FSD79 will provide a qualified interpreter for IEP meetings upon the parent/guardian request.  This will require advanced coordination. We ask that the parent/guardian inform the IEP case manager of their request as early as possible in the scheduling process.

IEP Service Logs
FSD79 will maintain related service logs that record the type and number of minutes of the related service(s) administered to your child.  Copies of any related service logs will be available to you at your request.  You may also request a copy of the related service logs at any time.

If you would like to receive copies of your child's related service logs, please send your written request to Krista Winkelman, Executive Director of Student Services.  

Section 504
A student is considered “qualified” under Section 504 if the student is between the ages of 3 and 22 years of age and has a disability, which is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Major life activities include caring for one’s self, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, working, performing manual tasks, and learning. Some examples of impairments that may substantially limit major life activities, even with the help of medication, aids, or devices, are attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), asthma, allergies, blindness or a visual impairment, deafness or hearing impairment, diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, and mental illness. - Illinois State Board of Education
