Freedom Families,

This Tuesday, our Patriots will begin IAR testing. This is a very important assessment that helps us understand how to best support our students academically. To ensure a smooth testing experience, please make sure your student:

• Arrives to school on time.

• Gets a good night’s sleep.

• Eat a healthy breakfast

• Brings headphones and a fully charged iPad.

Students are allowed to wear comfortable clothing during IAR testing to help them focus and feel at ease.

We are excited to share information about our Little Caesars Fundraiser! Your participation helps support our school programs and activities. Please see the details below on how you can contribute.

Do not forget to compete the 5 essentials Survey. Send your screen shot of the completed survey to the PTSA for a chance to win a gift card. See below for more information.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Safety Reminder

We kindly remind all parents to follow the drop-off and pick-up expectations, which are linked [here]. These guidelines are in place to ensure the safety of all our Patriots. Please refrain from having students cross Ridgeland Avenue during drop-off and pick-up times.

Thank you for your continued support in making Freedom Middle School a safe and successful learning environment for all our students!
