Freeland Learning Center Newsletter

On Thursday, June 13th, the PTO is coordinating our annual Field Day event, where classrooms participate in a variety of outdoor stations with music provided by Rusch Entertainment. The PTO is seeking volunteers to help each station run smoothly and provide the students with a fun experience to close out the school year. Each of the seven stations will require at least three adults, so if you are interested and willing to help, please sign up by clicking the link below.

Our first grade students will be going to the high school for their Spring Fling Concert on Tuesday, May 21st. In order to make this work, we need to flip the kindergarten and 1st grade recess/lunch periods. Therefore, on Tuesday, May 21st, the lunch periods will be as follows:

1st Grade: 11:20-11:45

Y5: 11:50-12:15 (no change)

Kindergarten: 12:20-12:45

On Tuesday, May 21st, our 1st grade Spring Fling performance will take place at 1:00 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center at Freeland High School. Please be aware that the high school will be in session during the performance, and therefore the parking lot will fill up quite easily. For those that plan to attend, you will not use the high school main entrance. Instead, you will want to use the doors nearest the parking lot that lead directly into the lobby of the Performing Arts Center.

At the conclusion of the performance, we ask that all guests remain in their seats until all of the classes have made their way to their designated location in the lobby. At that point, all guests will then be able to meet up with their child in the lobby. Those families wishing to take their child home for the rest of the day may do so by signing out with the classroom teacher, and all remaining students will board the buses to return to the Learning Center.

Freeland Schools is excited to offer a FREE summer food service program! The food service department will offer breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday at Freeland Elementary School. Meals are FREE to all children 18 and under and up to age 26 with a disability. Watch for more information in the coming weeks.

During Teacher Appreciation Week, the teacher grams that your student turned in, with their $1 donation, not only filled up the Teacher Wall of Fame, but also generated $205 and will be used to offset the cost of the luncheon provided by the PTO. The PTO and I would like to say thank you for your generosity and support!

If you have not yet done so, please check out the district's new app. This app will allow you to stay up-to-date with access to real-time information from each of the Freeland schools. I also encourage you to periodically check the Learning Center's Live Feeds, News, and Events as we will be updating those items regularly. We will continue to move away from the Skyward messaging system for school-wide news and information as quickly as possible.

The app can be downloaded for free in the following ways:
