Friday, December 4th
Dear Liberty Park Families,
I would first like to send a big shout out to our LP students and staff for completing our first week of our transition to virtual instruction! We know with any change comes challenges, but we are so appreciative of our students for working through them and of our parents for being so supportive! Thank you for making this a great week!!
It’s important for you to know how to get support if needed. If you have any academic needs, you can access the following supports:
Contact your child's teacher(s) for support. Teacher contact information is available on our school’s website under the Explore Tab, then select STAFF.
Contact Mrs. Tapper our school counselor, Mrs. Hench our Dean, or myself.
Visit our district website's transition to virtual learning page for more information and resources.
I would also like to share a few important points to remember:
Student's will access zoom links and student work through their Canvas App on their iPad.
It is important for students to participate in class via zoom each day and to complete assigned work from their teacher. Please refer to your child's daily schedule to help support their attendance in classes.
If you need support with your device because it is not working or has been damaged, you can visit the helpdesk at Moorhead Community Resource Center at 8400 E. 10th Street in the back of the building from 10:00am - 2:00pm Monday through Friday.
To request a T-Mobile hotspot for your student please completely fill out this form. Once your request is processed the hotspot will be delivered to our school’s front office where you may pick it up.
Our next food distribution will be Friday, December 4th from 4:00 - 6:00 PM at Warren Central High School, Creston, Raymond Park, and Stonybrook Intermediate Middle Schools, and Moorhead Community Resource Center. Food is available for all children 18 or younger. Children do not need to be present. If you are picking up multiple meals, you are encouraged to bring a bag or box.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 317-532-1850 if we can help in any way!
As always, I thank you for your continued support of Liberty Park Elementary! Take care, be safe, and have a great weekend!
Your Principal,
Jason Brooks

Warren Township Parent and Caregiver Resource Page
The Warren Township Parent and Caregiver Resource Page has been updated to share information on our learning management system, accessing student information via ParentVue and a few other topics on how we connect our families with their student's learning.
School Pictures
School pictures are in! You may come to the LP office between 8:00 - 3:00pm Monday - Friday to pick up your child’s pictures. For those who did not order a package, Interstate Studios sent us a proof of your child. You may pick those up in the office, and place your order online through Interstate Studios.
You can also review and order your child's pictures online using this website and code:
1. Visit inter-state.com/order
2. Enter school code: 51322EA
If you don’t make it in, don’t worry. We will give your pictures to your child’s teacher for distribution when students return to school in-person.
Student Progress Reports
In order to view your student's progress report for Mid-Quarter 2, log in to the Parent Portal. On the lower left hand side, there is a Report Card icon. When you click on Report Card, you will be able to see the posted grades by the teacher for the Mid-Term. If you would like to see more details about that grade for students in grades 5-12, click on the Grade Book icon to the left. On this screen, you can click on a class title and a list of the assignments and scores. Be sure to look at the correct grading period since this screen allows you to change to the different grading periods for the school year. If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's teacher.
Parent VUE Portal
Synergy has a ParentVUE portal that parents can use to monitor students grades, attendance and discipline. Parents can view their students "Warren Password" on the ParentVUE Student Info tab. Parents can click on Student Info and then scroll to the bottom of the page. They will see their students' passwords right below the bus information.

Notes from Nurse Kelly
- COVID Testing Sites for Students: If you feel you need to have your student tested for COVID here are a couple of sites who do testing on students. These are on the Southside, I have not gotten a list for the east side yet.

INDIANA IMMEDIATE CARE (US 31 across from Walmart) - Register over the phone upon arrival in the parking lot (317-883-7712). NO CHARGE. They have Spanish/Burmese/Chinese interpreters. Tests age 5 and up.
Student iPad Safety & Repairs
We are excited to provide students with technology to enhance their learning experiences in the MSD of Warren Township. Each student K-4 is assigned an iPad for virtual and in-person classroom use. Students are responsible for the proper care and use of their device. Each device is covered by a district-sponsored insurance program for damage. This keeps charges for both intentional and accidental damages low. Both purposeful and accidental damage will be charged at a reduced rate.
Repair ~Family Charge
1st-$5
2nd-$25
3rd-$50
More than 3-The actual cost of repair or $50
How does the district ensure student safety with the use of student devices?
Warren Township employs a variety of methods to manage student devices including Internet filtering, and application restrictions. Internet Filtering software collects information about the sites that students access. Whether a use is off task or appropriate depends on the time of day, the student’s schedule, and the teacher’s instructions. If a student attempts to access an inappropriate site, a notification is generated and the filtering software blocks the viewing of that site. Students are also taught about appropriate use and care for their devices by their classroom teachers. Specific age-appropriate lessons have been created for use with all students.

SCHOOL DISTRICT PUBLICATIONS/NEWS MEDIA USE
The occasion may arise when the school district wants to recognize your child or your child's school. This may include your child's photo, your child's name or your child's work in district publications, newsletters, on school district websites, and in electronic/social media or in staff training videos. We may also want to tell the media (including newspapers, television, and radio) about your child's achievements. We never knowingly release information about a student to anyone who wants to use it for commercial/political purposes. However, we will honor your request to not include your child in these types of recognitions if you notify your child's school office in writing that you do not want this type of information released.
