Yearbook
Yearbook
This year's cover was designed by Aubrey Quinn!
Freeport Middle School is using Treering to build the yearbook. That means your yearbooks have a personal touch: your book includes two free pages for you to personalize with your photos and your memories.
You can personalize and order your book for $21.82 until April 14, 2026. (The personal pages are totally optional, so if you just want the more traditional yearbook, that's okay, too.)

The office or your parents may send you alerts for changes in plans.
The school day ends at 2:20. Make sure to have a "backup" plan (especially if clubs/practices/games are cancelled). All kids need to know if they are walking home, getting picked up, or riding a bus (FMS does not need to know the plan). They can have different plans on different days without letting us know, just make sure your child knows.
