Liberty Weekly Update

 

📅  Viking Pride

It’s hard to believe we have just 24 days of school remaining! As we head into the final stretch of the year, our focus is on finishing strong and making the most of every learning opportunity. This is an important time to reinforce skills, celebrate growth, and continue building positive habits with our students. With your continued support at home and our shared commitment at school, we are excited to help every student end the year feeling confident, proud, and ready for what’s next!

🏫 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. 
• Please make sure that your child knows what things they need to get out before they enter in the morning for the detectors. 

 

🚌 Transportation

 

Some buses have rolled out with seat belts. Please remind your child that they are to wear their seat belt. Students need to also be in their assigned seat as well.

Weapon Detectors

 

Our students have done an excellent job learning how to go through the weapons detectors each morning. With practice and patience, the process has gone very smoothly, and we have been able to get all students into the building before 9:15 each day. Much of this success is thanks to the support from our families in helping students be prepared each morning. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to keep our school safe!

Kindergarten Registration

 

Kindergarten registration is now open, and we are so excited to welcome our newest Liberty Vikings for the upcoming school year! If you have a child who will be five years old on or before the required date, we encourage you to begin the registration process as soon as possible. Early registration helps us plan for classrooms, staffing, and special events to ensure a smooth start to the year. We can’t wait to meet our future kindergarten students and partner with our families as they begin their Liberty journey!

📅 State Testing

Liberty families, our students will begin spring OST testing soon, and we wanted to share the upcoming testing dates so families can help students be prepared and ready to do their best. 5th grade will take ELA on April 13–14, Math on April 22–23, and Science on April 30–May 1. 4th grade will test in ELA on April 15–16 and Math on April 27–28. 3rd grade students will take ELA on April 20–21 and Math on April 29–30. Each subject includes two testing sessions. Please help your child by ensuring they get a good night’s sleep, eat breakfast, and arrive at school on time each day. We know our Vikings are ready to show what they know!

 

📚🏆 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!

 

Preschool Prom

Our Preschool Prom was a wonderful success! It was such a joy to see our youngest learners dressed up, smiling, and enjoying a special evening together. A big thank you goes out to our amazing preschool team for all of their hard work in planning and creating such a memorable event. We also truly appreciate all of the parents and families who attended and supported the evening—your presence made it even more special for our students!
