The FREEP

“FREEP" is short for Friday Free Press. It is the all-school newsletter sent home with each child each month. It contains information about the school and its educational program, notices of meetings and special events, the lunch menu, and the school calendar.

Submissions for the FREEP may include articles on educational issues, classroom and specials information, general school news and SRV community news, space allowing. Priority is given to school information. Submissions from parents and school community members must include their names and contact information, and all items will be edited by a member of the administration. The deadline is 9:00 a.m. Mondays on production weeks (see the office for the production schedule).

Please read your FREEP. It is an important part of our communications network.
