Liberty Weekly Update

 

📅  Viking Pride

We hope all of our Liberty families had a wonderful and relaxing long Easter weekend filled with special memories and time together. As we return to school, it is hard to believe we are heading into the final two months of the school year! This is always such an exciting time filled with important learning, fun events, celebrations, and opportunities for our students to finish the year strong. We are looking forward to making the most of every day and continuing the great momentum our students have built. Let’s have an amazing finish to the school year together, Vikings!

🏫 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!

🕑PTO

Our PTO is gearing up for an exciting few months ahead as we begin planning for Field Day! This is always a favorite event for our students, filled with fun activities, teamwork, and lots of smiles. We are so grateful for our PTO and their continued support in creating memorable experiences for our students.

📅 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!

Music Department Fundraiser

Hello RV Music Families,

​Our band and orchestra students work tirelessly to bring music to our halls and community. This Wednesday at 6:00 PM, we have a chance to give back to them in a big way.

​We are aiming for 100% participation at our fundraiser kickoff in the HS Cafeteria. If we reach 100 adults in attendance, our program receives an immediate $1,000 grant.

By simply showing up to learn more, you are helping us provide better instruments, music, and opportunities for every student in the program.

We truly believe this fundraiser can transform our year, and we can’t wait to see the RV community come together to make it happen!
