FREEDOM HILL PTA EAGLE NEWS
Aug. 21, 2020           
Happy Friday! We hope you are having a great week and enjoying the last days of summer before school starts on Sept. 8th. I know many of you have already heard from your teachers. If you haven't yet, don't fret. I'm sure they'll be reaching out to arrange one on one meetings soon. A few quick things to note below.
Q&A MTG WITH DR. Z THURSDAY 8PM
Join us for another informative Open Q&A session with Dr. Z on Thursday, Aug. 27th at 8pm. Join the Zoom Meeting or call 1-301-715-8592 with Meeting ID: 966 0248 0589. Ask your questions ahead of time here.

SCHOOL SUPPLY KITS
For those who pre-ordered school supply kits, you can pick them up Aug. 31-Sept. 3, 9:30am-3:30pm. No appointment is needed. If you have a laptop distribution appointment, you can also pick it up then. You should have also received a small refund because there is no hand sanitizer in the kit. If you have questions, contact Nicole Camara or Sylvia Solari
ROOM PARENT VERSION 2.0
So what will being a Room Parent be like in this virtual environment? Great question! While we don't anticipate as much of a need in a virtual setting to be helping to stuff fliers in Tuesday Folders or planning activities in the classroom -- there may be other things that may be of use to your teacher. Maybe setting up a Sign Up Genius, organizing a virtual classroom playdate or something else. If you have the creativity and are willing to help - let your teacher know!
UPDATE PAY4SCHOOLSTUFF
As you find out your teacher assignments, don't forget to go into Pay4SchoolStuff online and update your child's teacher. If you don't have a Pay4SchoolStuff account yet, sign up for one here. It's a very easy way to manage your child's activities and a good thing to set up. 
GET CONNECTED WITH FHES ONLINE
Communication will be so important this year. Please make sure your friends and neighbors are subscribed to the newsletter and in the Freedom Hill ES Community group if they are on Facebook. We need to get everyone in the loop especially now that we are kicking off school virtually!
