Family Fridays

Making Stronger Readers

Through Home/School Connections

What is Family Friday?

It is a time when Freese families and friends come to school and read with students in the classroom. This home/school connection supports our students and shows them that we all work together to further their education. After reading with students, parents gather in the auditorium for refreshments, announcements and giveaways.

Family Friday Schedule:

7:45 - 8:10 am: Parents/guardians gather in the auditorium and enjoy refreshments
8:10 - 8:30 am: Parents/guardians read with students

ELAC

Advises on English Learner Services

The purpose of the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) is to advise the principal and school staff on programs and services for English Learners (EL) and advise School Site Council (SSC) on the development of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). The ELAC also assists the school on other tasks listed below. Additionally, ELAC reviews the school's annual language census and conducts a site EL Needs Assessment.

Principal's Chats

Information and Chat Time

This year, Principal's Chats will be run slightly differently than in years past. Parents will still be able to raise topics of their choice as they chat with the principal, but part of the time will also be devoted to sharing information about a particular topic. Also we have included Parent Workshops following some of our principal's chats.

Here is the schedule for 2019-20 Principal's Chats and Parent Workshops:

Site Governance Team & School Site Council

Freese has two governance groups. One is the Site Governance Team (SGT) and the other is the School Site Council. Both groups have memberships of parents, teachers and staff members. Each year, the SGT advises the principal on the school budget and other issues concerning the school. The SSC oversees the spending of Freese's Title 1 money. Freese parents are encouraged to get involved with these groups. See Ms. Bussey, the principal if you are interested in serving on these groups. Here are the 2019-2020 schedules:
