FES News from the School

We are thrilled to welcome our students back to school tomorrow! We hope everyone had a restful summer and are eager to start school. The 1st day of school is always an exciting time of year and we are excited that you are here at Freedom!

Our car riders are dropped in front of the building from 8:30-9:00. Any student entering the building after 9:00 am must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to the front office. The parent will have to sign the student in because any arrival after 9:00 am is considered tardy. We will allow for parents/guardians to walk their students up to the front door for the first 3 days. If you are walking your student to the front doors, you must park at the back of the parking lot or in the grass field behind the parking lot. After that all parents must stay in their cars to drop off.

Please make sure that you have the new 2023-2024 car rider tag if you are picking up your child in the car rider line after school. The car rider tag should stay in your window until your child is safely in your car. Once your child/ren are in the car please remove the tag, so that our monitors will know that all students are accounted for and cars are ready to leave.

A great deal of time and thought goes into our student placements. Our staff works prior to the school year ending looking at academics, social, and various other factors when placing your child with their teacher each year. Then due to enrollment changes in certain grade levels or with staffing our administration team takes all of those factors listed above into account when making changes. Sometimes those changes lead to split classes, teacher movement, and student movement. Due to our large enrollment numbers movement request are not possible. We that that is not ideal, but work diligently to make the best of these situations.

We are blessed to have incredible teachers here at FES. We work hard to ensure that every child is getting the same content, is safe, and loved!

Please make sure that you have shared with your child's teacher how your child is getting home the first day and for the rest of the year. If you have not communicated this with the teacher, please send a note letting the teacher know.

We are looking forward to a phenomenal year at FES. I, personally, am looking forward to building strong, positive relations with our students, families, and the community!
