January 2022 Edition
Welcome Back Parents and Guardians,
We hope everyone stayed safe and healthy over the break and had a wonderful start to the year. Let’s plan to kick off the new year with a fresh and positive outlook for the second semester! The brand new year provides us with great opportunities to review and rework routines and procedures to help our Cardinals be more successful.
January Reminders:
Make a renewed commitment to help your child be here on time and ready to learn each day.
Regularly review the school’s website, Parent Portal and Class Dojo for important dates and events forthcoming.
Please be aware that attendance is very important for our students. Students in grades K-12 must be present 90 percent of the time in class in order to obtain credit or a final grade. https://tea.texas.gov/ The 90 percent rule applies to all absences, including excused absences. If your child has missed 10 or more days during the first semester you should have received a letter from our attendance office. If you have questions in regards to your child’s attendance, please contact the attendance office at 210-882-1603.
As a reminder, the 2nd grading cycle ended on December 16 and report cards will be issued this Friday. Please contact your child's teacher if you have questions or concerns regarding grades or current rate of academic progress.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank every parent that supports our students, teachers and staff. Your contributions and support make our school and community so special. You are making a valuable difference in the lives of our students.
On behalf of the students and staff at Freedom Elementary, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for all you do!
Again, Happy New Year and welcome back Cardinals!
