Dear Golden Meadows and Freeman Families:
As we approach the 2024-2025 school year, our district has made the decision to consolidate Freeman and Golden Meadows elementary schools. I understand this is a significant transition for our community, and I assure you that this decision is driven by our unwavering commitment to providing the highest quality education to each student.
With this consolidation, I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Freeman Elementary. I am proud and excited to join this amazing learning community and serve as your principal starting in the 2024-2025 school year.
I have dedicated 32 years of my life to the field of education. Throughout my journey, I have worked as a bilingual teacher across various grade levels, allowing me to connect with and support a diverse range of students. Additionally, I have served as an administrator for over a decade. For the past five years, I’ve had the incredible honor of leading Bradfield Elementary as principal.
I am committed to ensuring that we create a student-centered community where every child receives differentiated learning that inspires and challenges them.
Throughout the spring semester, I will collaborate closely with the current principals at Freeman and Golden Meadows to ensure a seamless transition into the upcoming school year. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at clbados@garlandisd.net.
Sincerely,
Cecilia Bados
2024-2025 Freeman Principal
Garland Independent School District
