Help us celebrate fall with these delightful Belgian Mums from Johnson Nursery! Purchase now for pick-up on October 4th. Fundraiser sales end September 27th. Proceeds from the sales will be used to further our school's goals, giving us greater opportunities to give our students rewards through our school store and to show our teachers very deserved appreciation.

Morning drop-off begins at 7:15 am. The school provides staff to monitor students walking from the car line into the building. Staff return to the building after the tardy bell at 7:40 am. After this time, all students must be walked into the building and signed in by an adult. There are no exceptions.

As an addendum, minors such as older siblings may not sign in our students. An adult is required to sign in every late student.

Families,

Please remind your students that it is very important to follow the rules for riding the school bus. Our drivers need to pay attention to the road. The last thing we want to hear about is a bus accident because student behavior distracted the bus driver. On Friday, all of our students reviewed the bus rules and practiced loading and unloading a school bus. Attached below the picture are the Bus Rules and Consequences from NHCS Transportation.

Watch the video below about the impact Communities in Schools can have on helping get students to school. If you have a need, Communities in Schools is here to help. At R. Freeman, we are so lucky to have FOUR Communities in Schools staff members on our campus every day. We want your students in our building so they can learn and grow. If you need anything at all, please reach out.

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.
