Happening This Week!
May 19 - May 23
Families,
We are in the final push of the school year. Students need to arrive "locked in" and ready to show their best work on end of year testing. Please keep distractions to a minimum. Do not send your child to school with blankets, ski masks, toys, or other distracting items. We are in it to win it, and we need your help from home. Our students have learned so much this year, and we want them here and eager to show off how awesome they are!

Cell Phones: Away for the Day
Away for the Day
At R. Freeman Elementary School, cell phones and personal devices are expected to be away for the day.
- Students will keep personal devices turned off and put away in backpacks.
- This included phones, smart watches, tablets, laptops, headphones, earpods, and similar devices that are not school-issued.
- Students may access their personal devices before school (before they enter the building) and after announcements (2:30pm).
- Students may NOT access their personal devices during the school day (7:15am - 2:30pm).
- Parents may call the front office to leave messages for their student (910) 250-6011
- If a student needs to call home, they can use the front office phone.
How can families support in this area?
- Please support by not expecting your student to access their phone during the school day.
- Students can bring devices to school to let families know they have arrived or about after school plans. They just cannot access the device during the school day.
