Dear Freeman Families,

This morning at approximately 8:34 a.m., there was a report of a small fire in the school
cafeteria. The building was immediately and safely evacuated, and the Flint Fire
Department responded quickly to the scene.

The fire was contained to a food warmer and thanks to the swift actions of staff and the
fire department, the situation was brought under control within minutes.

Out of an abundance of caution, and due to smoke in the cafeteria, scholars were
dismissed for the remainder of the day. The rest of the building was not affected by the
incident.

The safety and well-being of our scholars and staff will always be our highest priority.
After evaluation, the building has been deemed safe for scholars and staff to return for
learning tomorrow.

We are incredibly grateful for the calm and quick response of our staff, the support of
the Flint Fire Department, and the understanding, patience, and cooperation of our
Freeman families during today's dismissal.

With gratitude,
Kevelin Jones
Superintendent, Flint Community Schools

Dear parent or guardian,

Great news! Our school has partnered with Smile Programs ... the mobile dentists to offer dental care at school.

Best of all, in most cases there is no cost to you if your child is insured with Medicaid/CHIP! Private insurance and affordable self-pay options are also available.

Having your child seen by the dentist at school saves you valuable time. Top quality care is provided by local, licensed dentists in the familiar surroundings of your child’s school.

Dental care includes a complete exam, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride, and sealants when necessary, and in some cases, restorative care such as fillings.

Children who see a dentist regularly may have fewer health issues like: •Early tooth loss due to dental decay • Gum disease • Heart disease • Impaired speech development

Look for a permission form from school, or sign up online now at www.MySchoolDentist.com

Don’t wait. Be sure your child is signed up and ready to see the dentist at no cost to you (for children with Medicaid/CHIP.)

Thank you!
