Freedom Elementary News #2

We have just zoomed through our first full month together! Routines are continuing to be established, students are flourishing, and celebrations are happening regularly:) We have been working hard on our cafeteria procedures and expectations. Each week, the classes that have the exceptional behavior in the cafeteria will earn a reward from the office staff!

Absences: In the event your child is absence please be sure to send your child with a parent or doctor note stating the first and last name of the child(ren), date(s) absent, reason for the absence, and parent or doctor signature. Notes must be turned in within 5 days of the student's return.

September 13- We have CRAZY high attendance! Crazy hair and socks day at Freedom

September 16- PTA Snack Cart

September 23- Super Scientist Day! Dress like a scientist.

September 30- PBIS Club Day and FES Fall Festival 5:00-8:00

Morning drop-off begins at 8:30, students need to stay in cars until 8:30 when a staff member opens the front doors to the school. Please pull all the way forward to the staff member on the sidewalk so we can get as many students in the building safely and in a timely manner. The front doors will close at 9:00. If you drop off after 9:00, you have to sign your student(s) in at the front office.

Car rider dismissal simply takes time due to the high volume of car riders. Afternoon dismissal will begin at 3:40. Please display your tag in your windshield. Once your child is in your car, please remove the tag. This lets those working the line know if someone did not make it out to the car. Our goals are always safety and efficiency. However, sometimes students don’t hear their name or just get distracted. We do our best to get them to the car rider line quickly, but things happen.

Our school is participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) under the National School Lunch Program. The CEP provision is available to schools with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Under CEP all students receive a breakfast/lunch at no charge for the entire school year. This program benefits all families, regardless of their income level.

Many of you have already completed the Household Income Form(HIF). If you have not, a form will come home next week for you to complete. Please complete one form per household and return to school. Completion of the HIF will help ensure our families can continue enjoying free meals next year. We appreciate your help and cooperation!
