Message From Our Principal

Dear Thunder Eagle Families,


Our staff is busy getting ready for a great school year. I want to send a few reminders out as we count down to the first day of school.


  • You should have received a postcard from your child’s teacher, if you didn’t receive one from them please call the office and we will let you know who they have.


  • Our Back to School Ice Cream Social is on Wednesday 8/31 from 5:30-7:00. Please plan on joining us to meet your child’s teacher!


  • Remember that all of our school supplies have been purchased for your child by our wonderful PTO! School supplies are in classrooms for students ready for the first day of school.


  • If you are driving your student to school, morning drop off time is 8:10-8:25 and afternoon pick up is 2:55-3:25.


  • We will continue to have late start Mondays and on these days morning drop off time is 9:40-10:00 and afternoon pick up is 2:55-3:25.


  • Does your child ride the bus to school? If so you can look up their bus route and pickup/drop off times on our school district website. https://www.sumnersd.org/




This year we have a change in topics taught by specialist teachers. Typically we have a music, STEM, and PE specialist at Liberty Ridge. However, after earnestly searching for a music teacher for more than a year, we are unable to fill the position. Instead of music, students will enjoy a new specialist offering called Social Emotional Learning (SEL), which focuses on student wellbeing that enhances academic success.


As we continue to look for a music specialist, this one-year SEL offering will be taught by Jenna Slowey. As Ms. Slowey has been a paraeducator, substitute teacher and student teacher at Liberty Ridge, she knows our students very well and will be great in this position!


Recognizing the importance of music education, I will work to find some alternative ways music education can be infused during the school day or in an extra-curricular manner. Thank you for your understanding as we embrace the new opportunity for Social Emotional Learning at Liberty Ridge.

Keep Your Child Home When:

  • There has a close contact with anyone confirmed to have, or suspected to have COVID-19
  • The Student has tested positive for, or is waiting on a test for COVID-19
  • The student has been told to self isolate or quarantine by public health or a medical professional
  • Any of these symptoms are present:

    • Fever of 100.4 or higher

    • Cough- frequent and persistent

    • Loss of taste or smell

    • Shortness of breath

    • Fatigue

    • Headache

    • Muscle or body aches

    • Sore throat

    • Congestion or runny nose

    • Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting
