Thank you so much for contributing to an amazing start to the 2022-2023 school year. We are so happy to have our entire Liberty Family back together.
I could not be more proud of the work of our staff, our students, and our parents. Our Liberty Families sent us amazing kids who are ready to learn, and our staff is ready to support each of these kiddos in their educational journey. Thank you for giving each of our students an environment in which they are loved and supported. We take our vocation very seriously. We are here to love them and help them to grow right along with all of our Liberty families.
Here at Liberty we focus on being Kind, Responsible, & Safe in all of our interactions. Our amazing PBIS and School Improvement Teams spent a great deal of thought, time, and effort into creating a "Back To Better" atmosphere, because back to normal wouldn't have been good enough for our kids. The week included shared expectations posters created by all of our homerooms, a wonderful Expectations assembly presented by an enthusiastic (and at times gymnastic) group of teachers... so many laughs, and a Liberty Expectations Parade to cap it all off. What a great week!
As we look at the week ahead please note that MAP testing will begin on Wednesday, September 7 with MAP Reading. MAP Math will begin the following week on Tuesday, September 13. Please also note that Friday, September 9 is school picture day at Liberty School. The retake date will be October 19.
Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in educating your children. It was great to connect with you at Pop In for Popsicles, Supply Drop Off, Open House, today's parade, and in the drop-off & pickup line We look forward to creating even more ways to connect. I wish you all a great Labor Day weekend and we look forward to seeing all of our Liberty Patriots here next Tuesday. Enjoy the long weekend.
All my best,
Kevin H. Brown, Principal
Liberty School
