Liberty Weekly Update

 

📅  Viking Pride

We appreciate your continued support in helping make our school a great place to learn and grow! Please take a moment to check backpacks and ParentSquare messages for important updates, upcoming events, and any notes from your child’s teacher. Staying connected helps ensure a smooth and successful week for everyone. Thank you for partnering with us and for all you do to support our students!

🏫 Pick-Up Drop Off Procedure

Just a few friendly reminders to keep our drop off line moving in the mornings:

• If you are the first car along the curb, please pull all the way up to the first blue cone. Students should use the entire sidewalk between the cones to exit vehicles.
• Your child should remain in your vehicle until the bell rings at 9:00 am.
• Parents should not park and walk through the parking lot. If your child needs help opening the car door, one of the staff members outside will help.
• If your child has a snack/treat/or extra things to carry, please do not park.  Come through the line and a staff member will help him/her.
• Please have your child seated on the passenger side of the vehicle so he/she can exit closest to the sidewalk.
• Remind your child to walk on the sidewalk near the cones and not the parking lot after he/she exits your vehicle.
• The tardy bell rings at 9:15, your child should be in the building before the bell rings.
• During pick up time please be courteous of others. Our preschool parents park and do come up to get their child so please be courteous of them in the parking lot. 

 

🚌 Transportation

 

Some buses have rolled out with seat belts. Please remind your child that they are to wear their seat belt if their bus has one.

Weapon Detectors

 

River Valley Elementary Buildings (Heritage and Liberty) will begin using weapons detection systems at our main entry points for the morning arrival. This will begin March 9-11 and continue for the duration of the school year.

If school gets canceled due to weather, those days will turn into online learning days, unless otherwise stated by the superintendent. Please make sure that you look at Parent Square/Google Classroom as many teachers will post expectations on these respective days. This means that students will be coming home with their chromebooks on a daily basis.

📚🏆 i-Ready Viking Challenges Are Underway! 

We are excited to share that Liberty Elementary is kicking off weekly i-Ready competitions that will run through the end of the school year! Each week, students will work together with their classmates to complete i-Ready lessons and earn points for their class. The class in each grade level with the highest progress will earn a trophy and enjoy some well-earned bragging rights for the week!

Each challenge will look a little different, keeping things fun and motivating for students. In addition, the top-performing student in each grade level will earn a Viking Chain to wear proudly throughout the week.

How families can help:
Students can complete i-Ready lessons at home, and your encouragement and support make a big difference! Even a few extra lessons can help students grow and contribute to their class’s success.

Thank you for partnering with us as we motivate students, celebrate effort, and continue building strong learning habits—Viking style!

 

Parent Teacher Conferences
