Freeland Elementary School- PALSS “Hats off to Autism” is Wednesday, April 24th!
Beginning in the 1970s, Autism Awareness Week was a way to raise awareness about autism at a time when the known prevalence of autism was 1 in 2,500 and it was considered an uncommon childhood disorder. Eventually, Autism Awareness month and World Autism Day were established to continue the effort to increase awareness. Fast forward to 2024, and so much has changed about our understanding of autism … If you read autism websites or social media, you will see a shift in thinking from awareness to a next level that encompasses acceptance, understanding, and advocacy. (Excerpt taken from the April START Connecting Newsletter.)
This week we celebrate Paraprofessionals Day on Wednesday and are excited to also celebrate Mrs. Staley for our weekly staff highlight. Mrs. Staley is currently an Intervention Paraprofessional at Freeland Elementary School. Thank you to all of our paraprofessionals for the work you do to serve our students each and every day.
The Freeland Mental/Behavioral Health Team hosted their second annual Wellness Fair last Thursday and had over 30 vendors participate and a great showing by our Freeland families and community who attended the event. Thank you to all who came to participate in this event, and a huge thank you to our community sponsors!
We want to thank everyone that contributed to make our first Spring Festival a success at the elementary school, including the volunteers and the area businesses for their raffle donations.

FCSD Staff Highlight: Welcome Mrs. Jess Harrold, FHS School Counselor
FCSD 7-12 Families ~ Unfortunately, we had a large leak in the main entrance this evening and we will be routing students through a different set of doors in the morning. For any family dropping off their student, or for our high school student drivers, we are asking that they enter the building using the doors directly to the right of the main entrance. Please refer to the picture of the doors we are referencing. Staff will be on hand to guide our middle school students upon entering the building should they need help.
FCSD is looking for a competitive cheer coach for Freeland High School. If you know of any qualified individuals, please encourage them to apply!
