HAPPY FALL!
What a beautiful time of year to share with your family. As the weather changes, please be sure to send a jacket to school with your child. Please label jackets, hats, mittens, etc. with your child’s name. Just a reminder, parent/teacher conferences are coming up this month on October 22 & 24. It is essential for parents to schedule and attend parent/teacher conferences. These conferences are an opportunity for your child’s teacher to share information with you regarding your child’s growth and development. Your child’s teacher will share strengths and learning goals for your child. Partnering with your teacher to support and extend learning opportunities at home will help your child make the most of their preschool experience. Please schedule your appointment to meet with your child’s teacher to discuss the many things your child has learned and will be learning this school year. Together, teachers and parents can work to help make this a wonderful year of learning for each child.
Wishing you well,
Dr. Sarah Birk, Principal of Liberty ECC

REMINDERS ABOUT THE BUS
- Children are NOT allowed to eat on the bus. Please be sure your child has time to eat their breakfast or lunch before you expect the bus to arrive.
- Any changes in bus transportation will require a minimum of 3 days to process. Remember, a change in your transportation address may impact your child's ability to have bus service. Since we serve the entire Liberty school district-addresses are routed either as an AM or PM attendance area.
- Make sure someone is available to meet the bus at pick-up and drop-off times. An adult must be present for the child to be released off the bus. Please see your parent handbook for additional information.
