Principals' Update

Dear Freedom Hill Families,

We hope you are well, and preparing for a "sneak peak" of summer temperatures early this week. What a week it was last week! Our students are "doing hard things" on their SOLs and other end-of-year assessments, we watched in wonder as many chicks emerged from their eggs, we hosted our new Eagles for Kindergarten Orientation, and the FH Drama Club dazzled us with a fabulous inaugural performance (pictured above).

The end of May and beginning of June are truly a busy and joyful time as we celebrate our learning from the 2025-26 school year, and we invite you to be a part of our many events. It is a full calendar, so please see below. In particular, one time-sensitive item is signing up for our Freedom Hill 5K by May 25 so that we can be sure to have your t-shirt(s) printed for you. Also still to come of our final PTA meeting of the year, our Cultural Heritage Night, a final Family Dinner Out, the SCA Talent Show, Field Day 2026, and many grade-level celebrations.

Lastly, caregivers who wish to leave input for next year's class placement must submit this using the form below by Friday at the latest.

Have a great week, and dress cool tomorrow!

In partnership,

Nicholas Zapadka, Principal

Tim Scesney, Asst. Principal

Holly Sims, Asst. Principal
