THE PATRIOT PARENT CONNECTION
2022-2023: Twenty Third Edition - Week of January 30, 2023
Dear Liberty Families,
As we wrap up the month of January, I want to thank our families for a smooth start to the semester. This week, our admin team plans to get into many of our 6th and 7th grade classrooms to review behavior expectations, in hopes of curtailing the spike we are seeing in administrative referrals. We provided a similar presentation to our 8th graders before the Winter Break and saw significant improvement. Please partner with us in reminding your student to uphold the expectations in the FCS Code of Conduct, the School Bus Code of Conduct, and our cell phone procedures & expectations. Our number one priority is to provide and safe and positive learning environment that promotes health and learning for all. We greatly appreciate your support as we work to do so!
Sincerely,
Amanda Thrower
Principal

JANUARY STAR STUDENTS
Last week, we celebrated our January STAR Students with pizza, ice cream, and STAR recognition notes from their nominations.
We believe that Patriots build relationships through Service, Teamwork, Accountability, and Respect, in order to make Liberty our home. Our recipients included selected students from our grade level teams, our Connections teachers, our Counseling Department, and our administration. Their STAR magnets will hang on their lockers all year.
These students are modeling every characteristic of what it means to leave a legacy in our Liberty family. Congratulations, everyone! We are so proud of these Patriots!
