Freedom Park School 

2024-2025

I am looking forward to the upcoming school year! In my classroom, children will be given the opportunity to learn and grow in a caring, structured environment in order for them to be successful in their academic studies. I believe that teachers, administrators, support staff, and parents should work cooperatively to create a school atmosphere that promotes a love of learning. 

Communication

Your child will have a homework folder that should be brought to school each day. Anything you need me to see (i.e. notes, transportation changes, money for functions) should be sent to school in the homework folder. Please check the homework folder each evening for notes from the teacher and homework. In order to complete homework, your child will need these materials at home: pencils, crayons, scissors, and glue.

Morning Drop-off

Doors open at 6:50 am. School begins at 7:25 am. Please drop your child off in the back of the building, if you are a car rider.  If you are walking up to drop your child off, please enter the front entrance of the school.

Afternoon Pick-up

School ends at 2:15pm and kids are to be picked up by 2:30 pm. If you choose to pick your child up from school, you must remain in your car in the car rider line at the back of the building.  School staff will be outside to deliver car riders to vehicles. If your child is a bus rider, walker, parent pick-up, or going to CYS, teachers will make sure they go to the appropriate line during dismissal. Please send a written note if your child is going home a different way.

Medications

Please let me know if your child is to be given any medicine during school hours. Do not send medicine to school in your child’s book bag.

Snacks

Our class will have snacks at the end of each day. Students will be assigned a day for snack.  You will be able to bring snack earlier than your day, but it will be set aside for your child's assigned day.  Richmond County requires healthy snacks, such as fruit, goldfish, graham crackers, yogurt, etc. If you have questions about what qualifies as a healthy snack let me know. Reminder: No snacks that contain Peanuts.  If your child has a severe allergy, please send list that is acceptable in order to help me guide snack options.

 If you need to contact me for an appointment, concerns, or any other reason, please call the school at 706-796-8428 or email me at coopema@boe.richmond.k12.ga.us. I will get back with you as soon as possible. I am very excited to be a part of your child’s journey through Kindergarten! With parents, teachers, and school staff working together, success can be accomplished!

Thank you, Ms. Cooper.
