Mission Statement:  

C.A.R.E members of the Freetown-Lakeville Community are committed to ensuring the core values of our district, including Respect, Responsibility, and Citizenship, are accessible to all of our students and integrated in the fabric of our schools.

We seek to accomplish this by providing: 

  • a voice for all our students

  • resources and supports for our school staff

  • accountability for our district

C.A.R.E. recognizes that the needs of our community are continually evolving.  We are dedicated to listening to the lived experiences as well as verbal and non-verbal communication of students and stakeholders.  We value this diversity.  Through this collaboration, we strive to make our community a place where each student can thrive, grow, develop, and achieve an excellent education according to their individual abilities by providing needed supports and removing identified barriers.  With continued advocacy, we hope to create a place of safety for all our children to experience belonging and know they are valued.
