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

Wondering what to purchase for the school year? Attached is a welcome back packet that has open house information, a middle school checklist, and a supplies list that you can use to help you prepare for the school year. This packet and additional back to school information will be sent home in the mail the week of August 14th.  Middle School Welcome Back Packet.

Anxious about your schedule for the year? All schedules will be available electronically on Wednesday, August 23rd. Schedules will NOT be sent home in the mail.
