Recognize Previous Attendance Celebrations

Communities in Schools and Ms. Robbins will recognize perfect attendance for the months of school we have already attended. January 8th, the team will visit classrooms to get the Attendance Incentives started. This recognition will continue each month. Students with perfect attendance for the month will be recognized with a charm/tag to add to their chain.

These attendance "lanyards" will be kept in the classroom on display in a safe place so they don't get lost. Name tags will be made for each chain for each student.

Bear-ific Attendance Walls

Each Friday, teachers will plan to meet at the attendance wall with their class and add Bear-ific star pictures for weekly perfect attendance.

Dear Students and Parents,

At our school, we are dedicated to creating a focused and engaging environment where every student can thrive and succeed in their learning. To help maintain this atmosphere, we kindly ask that distractions such as cell phones, stuffed animals, ski masks, and blankets be left at home. These items can interfere with the classroom experience and take away from valuable instructional time. By working together, we can ensure that school remains a place where education and growth are the top priorities. Thank you for your understanding and support in fostering a positive learning environment.

Sincerely,

Rachel Freeman Administration

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.
