Liberty Weekly Update

 

📅 We are Off to a Great Start

As we wrap up the month of September, we are encouraging our students to finish strong both in the classroom and with their positive choices each day. To celebrate all their hard work, we’ll be having a Spirit Week filled with fun dress-up days, and picture day will also be taking place this week. Please be sure to check for reminders so your child is ready to participate! Just a reminder that there is no school for students on Friday, giving everyone a well-deserved long weekend to recharge. Thank you for your continued support as we make September a success!

🏫 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. 

 

Here is the link to figure out your transportation needs: Bus Stop

 

📷 Picture Day

 

Picture Day is coming on September 22nd—say cheese! Send your child in their favorite, school-appropriate outfit and brightest smile. We’ll handle the rest! 

 

📑 Spirit Week

 

👋 First Grade Fun

Our first graders have been hard at work sharpening their math skills—while having plenty of fun along the way! This week, they played hands-on addition games that got them thinking, laughing, and cheering each other on. It’s always great to see their excitement as they practice building strong number sense together. Check out the pictures to see their smiles and teamwork in action!
