Liberty Family Newsletter
August 7th, 2022
Dear Liberty Families,
We want to extend our gratitude to all the parents and guardians who joined us for our recent WInter Wonder Open House event. It was a joyous occasion filled with celebration as we showcased the incredible progress and achievements of our students. Your presence and support truly make a difference in your child's educational journey, and we are grateful for your continued partnership. Seeing the smiles on your faces as you interacted with teachers and explored your child's classroom reaffirmed the strong sense of community that defines our school.
As we transition into the spring season, there are several exciting events on the horizon that we can't wait to share with you. Kindness Week, Right to Read Week, and various field trips are just a few of the enriching experiences planned to engage and inspire our students. During Kindness Week, we'll come together to promote empathy, compassion, and inclusivity through a series of heartwarming activities and initiatives. Right to Read Week will ignite a passion for literacy as we embark on a week-long celebration of books and storytelling. Additional information about Right to Read Week will be sent home shortly.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support, and we look forward to celebrating the joys of learning and growth with you throughout the spring season.
PBIS & Ranger Strong Update!
Dear Parents/Guardians:
We want to hear about your experience with your student’s education. We invite you to participate in completing Liberty's Family PBIS Survey. This survey includes questions about your student’s learning, school safety, and interpersonal relationships, as well as your attitudes about the institutional environment and your personal involvement in school. Your responses will be very helpful in improving student relationships, learning conditions, and the overall school environment.
Beginning today, Friday, February 9, 2024, we invite all parents, guardians and caretakers to complete this survey for our school. The survey is completely anonymous and brief; it contains 21 questions and takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. You can take the survey online by using the following unique school link: Survey Link.
Please submit your responses by Monday, March 11, 2024.
We hope you will take the time to provide us with this valuable information. Feel free to reach out to Assistant Principal Brianne Tabar, if you have any questions. Our school’s total survey results will be used to inform and develop appropriate strategies, procedures, and/or programs to enhance our PBIS program and overall school climate and culture.
The link to complete the survey is: Survey Link.
Thank you for your time and participation!

Below are a few ideas your family can use to connect while practicing honesty!
