Who We Are

Freedom Elementary is a learning community of students, their families, teachers, and support staff who work together daily for student success.  Our Mission is to provide a strong foundation for academic and social growth to support our students in achieving their personal best.  Our foundation is TEAMWORK and every member of the Falcon Family is a valuable part of the team.  Through our collaboration, our students SOAR high!

In addition to a comprehensive and rigorous academic program in Pre-K through 5^th grade, Freedom offers multiple subjects in ‘Special Area’ classes, extracurricular activities, and after-school tutoring.  Through our school wide PBIS program, we provide a safe and supportive environment by modeling and recognizing positive behaviors.  Our four major expectations are:

S            Show a Positive Attitude

O           On-task Actions

A            Always be Safe

R            Respect Yourself & Others

We are proud of our caring community that works together to meet the needs of all learners.  At Freedom Elementary, “We’re Soaring High with Falcon Pride!”
