Freedom Family Newsletter

August 15, 2025

Thank you for making our first week of school go so smoothly. We are trying to work out the kinks and we appreciate your patience. Please make sure you pull up so we can get more cars into the line.

  Let us know if your child is going to be absent

Please call the school at 502-869-3600 if your child is going to be absent. You can also report an absence on our website. You will find "Student Absence Form" listed on Freedom's home page. Click on that icon which will take you to a Google form. You can even upload a doctor or parent note from that form. You will still get an automatic call from the district.

Moment of Silence...

Per state legistlation, schools are required to observe a moment of silence daily. We have dedicated time for this during our morning announcements. You can read more about it here.

  More News

Beginning this year, no over-the-counter medicine will be distributed at school unless there is a doctor's note on file. Students cannot carry cough drops or any other form of medicine.

Please allow time for our staff to upload records into Infinite Campus. As you send them in, we are working quickly to get them into Infinite Campus. However, we have just under 600 students so it may take a little while.

Clear water bottles are an expectation.

Our next SBDM meeting is this Monday, August 18, at 4:00.

Our Family Resource Center serves our families in many different ways. Sherri Bishop is our amazing coordinator. Check out her newsletter here.

We can't forget to mention our fabulous PTA. They are having a membership drive. The class with the most PTA signups by this Sunday will receive a popcorn party. You can sign up at the link below. Watch for permission slips for the Back to School dances at the end of August. The next PTA meeting will be on August 18 @ 6:00 at the Bullitt County Library in Shepherdsville.
