Freedom Elementary

The Governor has requested schools to remain closed through May 1st.  The Harrisburg School District will comply with this request. Distance learning will begin Wednesday, March 25th and continue through May 1st. We are excited to announce that three additional Grab & Go meal sites will be opening on Thursday, March 26th!  Meals can now be picked up from Liberty, Freedom, Explorer, North MS, Journey and Horizon.   Pick up times will continue to be from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and will be open Monday through Friday.

Today is the day! We will be at Freedom from 11:00am to 6:00pm for parents (no learners) to pick up materials! 11 - 2 please use the bus drive thru only. 2 - 6 you may use the bus and front entrance (due to lunch pick up). This is curbside pick up! There is limited access to the building. See you soon!!

🚩 The Harrisburg School District will remain closed, at a minimum, until Tuesday, April 14, 2020.  Distance Learning, beginning Wednesday, March 25, will continue through Thursday, April 9, 2020.  Per the District Calendar, Friday, April 10 and Monday, April 13 are scheduled days off for Easter break.  Should the Governor recommend a longer closure, Harrisburg School District will follow as recommended. 🐾 🚩We ask all to continue to practice social distancing.  Health professionals believe we will be at greatest risk for community spread of the virus in the coming days.  The following link provides information regarding the virus and its impact on children. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/children.html
