Freeman Families:

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! We are excited to begin the new school year on
Thursday, August 11 th . This school year will mark the 25 th year of Freeman! Throughout the year,
there will be events to celebrate the district and communities of Adams and Filley. In this
Newsletter, you will find information about several things that will help you prepare for the
beginning of the school year.
It was a busy summer at Freeman. Our maintenance and custodial staff were busy with summer
projects and getting the building ready for everyone’s return. A few summer upgrades include
new science lab tables and cabinetry, carpet in classrooms, refinished North gym floor,
Tuckpointing on the Northeast building exterior, and several new LED lights. Thanks to their
hard work, we are ready for students to return for a fantastic school year. The 2022-23 school
year will also see an enrollment increase of 25-30 students in grades K-12. We are excited to see
continued growth in our district and will continue to maintain our facilities to prepare for this
increase in enrollment.
The beginning of any school year brings excitement, hope, and maybe a little bit of anxiety. This
year is no different. The dedication of Freeman Public Schools still lies in the success of our
students, families, and staff. In 2022-2023, Freeman Public Schools will continue its Rise to
Excellence! We are fortunate to have a dedicated faculty and support staff helping our students
learn and grow. We welcome our new teachers and staff members and are excited for the
remainder of our team to return for another successful year.
The 2022-2023 school year is fast approaching. I hope you can take advantage of the remaining
days of summer. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Mr. Adkisson, 7-12
principal, Mrs. Sieh, PK-6 principal, or me, and we will do our best to help. Have a great year!
Go Falcons!
