A Note from Mrs. Bowman

Reading with Grands - Friday, September 9th
Grandparents and Grandfriends are invited to join us on Friday, September 9th, 2022 in celebration of Grandparent's Day to share a great book and create a memory. You are welcome to bring a book of your own or read one from the classroom with your grandchild and others. We look forward to seeing you and sharing this special day!
If your ID has already been scanned into our system and you have completed the linked form below, your badge will be pre-printed but you will still be required to show your ID for entry. If your ID has never been scanned into our system this school year, you may want to drop by before the 9th to scan it and expedite your entry. You must have your ID on the event day regardless if your badge is pre-printed or not. LHISD policy is "NO ID, No Entry". The RSVP process will speed along your entry however.
THIS FORM NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED by Monday, September 5th, 2022 to have a badge pre-printed.

Parent Orientation Information
No Car Tag in PM Car Line?
If you do not have your car tag displayed, you must park your vehicle in the lot and walk in to the office. You will not be able to pick up your child in the car line without the school provided car tag to ensure that students are only released to parents or guardians.
Practicing Safety Protocols with Students and Staff
The first time a drill is practiced, teachers and staff will take extra time to explain that this is just a practice for being safe on campus. Our conversations with kids are always focused on creating safe places in our building. In the instance of a Secure/Lockdown drill, staff are asked to avoid sharing information about intruders that could instill fear. Prepare, not scare, is our goal.
All LHISD campuses use the Standard Response Protocols (SRP). More information on school safety protocols for parents can be found at the Texas School Safety Center website or at this link.
We are sharing this information in case you would like to prepare or have follow up conversations with your child about how you stay safe in your own home and when in public places.
Here is the tentative Drill Schedule:
Week of Sept 5 - Fire Drill
Week of Sept 12 - Hold/Shelter Drill
Week of Sept 19 - Secure/Lockdown Drill
Counselor's Corner
If you have a need or concern, you can reach me at bpayne@libertyhill.txed.net or by calling the school office.
