Freeport Kids Are Welcomed Back to School

Excited students, families, faculty members and administrators were welcomed back to the Freeport Public School District for the first day of school on Sept. 1.

Students kicked off the 2016-17 school year by participating in a variety of fun and educational activities across all eight buildings. High schoolers reconnected with their peers prior to homeroom and eagerly found their way to their new classes, while the younger students arrived to their schools either holding a family member’s hand or on a school bus.

The classes of 2017 and 2029 began their final years at Freeport High School and Columbus Avenue School, respectively. At the elementary schools, family members were invited to join the students in their classrooms to usher in the new year.
