The Patriot Parent Connection
2020-2021 School Year: Volume 9 - Week of October 19
Dear Liberty Families,
It is time to indicate your choice for your student's semester two learning environment. EVERY family needs to submit one response per student, regardless of whether or not you want to change your student's current enrollment. The form will be open for responses until November 2. Please make sure you submit one response for every middle school student in your family no later than that date.
Survey Link: https://forms.gle/U3FX6fhr1x46jf9M7
We will adjust our master schedule for semester 2 based on these survey responses. Liberty has been as understanding as possible, based on our numbers, to making adjustments after the first semester deadline over the past nine weeks. We will not be able to continue this leniency as we head into semester two, so please be certain of your family's choice.
Thank you!

- As long as your student is logging into ItsLearning regularly and completing work in a timely manner, they will be marked present.
- If you receive a notification over the weekend that your student has been marked absent for one or more days, it means they did not submit all of the assignments for the week.

COVID-19 Quarantine Communication Plan
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.
