The Patriot Parent Connection
2020-2021 School Year: Volume 26 - Week of March 1
We are currently finalizing our transition activities and dates for our rising 6th graders, rising 7th graders, and rising 8th graders. We will hold virtual information nights for each group in the month of March (please see specific dates below under FOR YOUR CALENDAR). Each session will be recorded and posted on our website for families unable to attend the live session via Microsoft Teams (meeting links will be sent out in a separate communication).
We are excited to plan for the 2021-22 school year and look forward to partnering with our Liberty families to support the social, emotional, and academic growth of our Patriots!
Sincerely,
Amanda Thrower, Principal

FAQs Related to Quarantines
Why am I notified days after my student has been exposed?
The administration begins working on contact-tracing as soon as we are notified of a positive case. Test results often come to families a day or two after the test is administered, and then we have to contact-trace 48 hours back from the on-set of symptoms. This creates several days of delay that we simply have no control over. We work as quickly as we can, but the contact-tracing process is also time-consuming, as we study classroom seating charts, take measurements in classrooms, and work with transportation for bus information.
If my child has already had Covid-19 but is directly exposed at school, does he/she have to quarantine?
No. If your student has tested positive within the last 90 days and the school has record of that positive test, your student does not have to quarantine.

General Health Precautions
- Hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the building, but we encourage students to bring their own, as well.
- Our custodians will be sanitizing classrooms every afternoon. If you want to send cleaning wipes with your student to wipe down surfaces before use, please just make sure they are not bleach-based products.
- It is the expectation of staff and students to wear masks, if they are able. We want to be able to maintain face-to-face instruction all year. In order to do so, we MUST work to keep each other safe; mask-wearing is a significant part of this.
