A Message from Mr. Chapman
Dear Freddie Families
I want to thank each of you, our teachers, support staff, administrators, and the Board of Education for a fantastic start to the new school year. Watching our kids achieve, compete, and perform over the past several weeks has been a pleasure. They give us so much to be proud of and another reason why it is great to be a Freddie!
Attached, you will find a Revised 2022-2023 District Calendar, which reflects a cancellation of the scheduled monthly late arrivals. Students will now attend a full day of instruction on those days. You will also find that there will be no classes for students on Monday, February 6, 2023, as we will be utilizing this day for teacher and staff professional development.
By eliminating the late arrivals, our objective is to help ease the disruption it places on our students and families. In addition, by utilizing a full-day dedicated to professional development, we can provide focused, high-quality learning opportunities for our teachers and staff.
Again, thank you for your tremendous support and flexibility. Together we will continue to make this an excellent year for all our students.

A representative from Ashland University will be here on Monday, September 26 during lunch.
A representative from Youngstown State University will be here on Thursday, September 29 during lunch.
This past week, half of our 9th grade class received the Signs of Suicide Prevention Program (SOS). The SOS Program is a school-based suicide prevention program supported by SAMHSA. As the program concluded, the counseling department was able to successfully identify and triage all students who were in need of additional support.
The 7th grade class will be receiving the program in social studies classes on October 3 and 4. An Opt-Out form has been sent home with your student. You can access the Opt-Out form here. Please sign and return the form if you do not wish your child to participate.
The Signs of Suicide (SOS) Program offers Parent/Caregiver training. You can find the schedule of available training dates here.
New to the middle school this year is a class called Life Skills. Mrs. Art and the Life Skills teachers have been working together to help students build healthy study habits, organizational skills, problem-solving skills, and overall wellness.
For Suicide Prevention Month (September), Mrs. Barta and Mrs. Art will have crisis resources available to students during lunch on September 30.
The middle school and high school will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week during October 24-27. More details will be available soon.
