The Importance of Good Attendance
We want to remind you about our school hours at Rachel Freeman. Good attendance and being on time are so important for your child's academic career. Here are some facts and statistics about attendance from www.attendanceworks.org. If you want to read it more closely, click here.
School Hours and Procedures
School Doors Open at 7:15am
School Starts at 7:40am
School is dismissed at 2:35pm
To check in a student in the mornings if they arrive after 7:40, an ADULT must walk them in, sign them in to the computer, print a sticker for them to take to class. This is time consuming! It's easier to just be on time.
To check a student out early, you must arrive before 2pm. You HAVE TO HAVE A STATE-ISSUED ID to check out a student early, and you must be listed as someone who can check out the student.
If you have a transportation change for you child, you MUST call/email this in before 2pm. The school phone number is (910) 251-6011.

Unity Day Friday, 10/20/2023
Unity Day
Unity Day was celebrated at Rachel Freeman on Friday, Oct. 20. Students and staff wore orange to show their support toward kindness, and students learned the "Kindness Pledge" and added their handprints to the bulletin board in the main hallway. Ms. Lopp and her second graders really enjoyed this activity.
