Fall is in the air, and it is a great day for the start of a new school year!

Can you believe it? The start of a new year already. Wow did time fly this summer! Between the full eclipse, vacationing with family, and preparing for the school  year, I hope that you all had just as amazing of a summer as I have had!

A few updates below...

If you missed the open house and are an incoming 7th grade student, please review this slide show that goes over many important start of the year happenings.

If you did not pick up your Chromebook and are in the 7th grade then you can expect to pick it up during your homeroom on the first day of school. You are required to have your Acceptable Use Form filled out and signed on the first day of school, otherwise you will not be permitted to pick up your Chromebook. You can print an extra copy by clicking the link above, or your teacher will have an extra copy for you on the first day of school. 

What to expect on day one...

The first day of school we will be running an assembly schedule. ALL students should report to the gym at 7:40am for a welcome assembly. Just bring your supplies for first hour to the assembly - a planner, notebook, and pencil should be perfect for your first house on the first day! The assembly schedule for Tuesday, September 5th can be found at this link.

Your teachers will escort you to your first and seventh hour the first day of school if you are in a high school class for your exploratory. 

If you are in Mrs. Whealtey's World History class, or Mrs. Howson's English 7 class during 2nd or 6th hour, they will also be escorting you to class on the first day so you know where you are going!

Athletics announcement...

There will be a short FMS Softball club meeting for 7th and 8th grade girls and their parents on September 5th at 6pm at Freeland Middle School. This meeting will discuss signing up for softball for the 2017-2018 season. If you cannot make the meeting but want to play softball, please email the middle school coach, Mike Rybicki, at michael.rybicki@yahoo.com.

It was a great pleasure meeting with everyone during the Open House earlier this week, and we cannot wait to get the year started and to "SOAR above the line" together this year! Have a great start to your 2017-2018 school year.

Welcome to the 2017-2018 School Year!

Welcome back to school students, parents, and the Freeland Community. We are so excited to start the 2017-2018 school year at Freeland Middle School! This year, our theme is SOARing Above the Line. Each marking period we will focus on a word that defines SOAR. We will be using the acronym SOAR to guide us through this year - SOAR stands for Show Respect, On Task, Always Safe, and Responsible. We will also be reading through the book by Urban Meyer, Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life from a Championship Season to guide us in our work with SOAR and what it means to stay "Above the Line" at Freeland Middle School.

There are some important dates coming up that you may want to be aware of:

• Monday, August 28th from 5:00-6:30pm Freeland Middle School Open House
• Tuesday, September 5th is the first day of school! School starts at 7:40am and ends at 2:28pm
• Tuesday, September 12th is Picture Day
