Social Studies:
Why did the cowboy get a lot of laughs? Because he's always horsin' around! In Social Studies, we will continue this six weeks with the era of cowboys and cattle drives in Texas. Yee-haw!
Science:
In science class we are learning about animal adaptations! Have discussions with your child about why animals have certain characteristics and how those characteristics help them survive in their environment.

TRANSPORTATION CHANGES
Safety First! We are very strict about transportation changes, for the safety of your little ones. We will send your student home exactly as you indicated in the student’s Skyward Family Access profile. You will be able to make a change to your student’s transportation if switching from bus rider to a car rider or vice versa via email before 1:00 p.m. and within 24 hours of the change request. The transportation email is: BBEStransportationchanges@libertyhill.txed.net. Notes, phone calls, text messages, and emails sent to any other party other than the transportation email indicated above, will NOT be accepted. Any emails after 1:00 p.m. will not be processed by the campus. Please visit the transportation page on the LHISD district website for additional instructions and information.
VISITOR ROUTINES
Whether it's to spend time with your child for breakfast or lunch, or to help out in the classroom, we love having visitors on campus! For the protection of our students and staff, we require that all visitors present a valid Driver’s License or another form of a government issued current photo ID prior to any visit or student contact (no exceptions!). District employees may show their active LHISD employee badge as ID.
We also ask that all classroom visitors make arrangements/appointments with classroom teachers or administrators prior to a visit, as we do not allow unscheduled visits (as much as we like surprises!).
Lunch Balance Reminder
SNACK TIME
- Please send ONE healthy snack such as (granola, cheese sticks, popcorn, fruit, etc.) with your child EVERY DAY
- No sugar snacks or sugar drinks
- No chips please! While they are delicious, they are also loud and messy!
- We highly encourage water bottles!
