It is not often that we have enough snow to have adventures, but our Little Leopards had the chance to share in making some special memories during their Kinder and 1st grade year. Check out these pictures of the fun that our students had while they were at home.

What Does that Snowflake on the School Calendar Actually Mean?

Because school was cancelled due to inclement weather this week, we are having school on February 14th, March 21st and May 23rd.

These days were held in reserve for instances where school was interrupted due to weather. Scheduling these days was intentional to allow teachers and students to make up time when it more meaningful and relevant. It can be especially difficult to make up missed time by adding days to the end of the school year as everyone is fatiguing.

Being able to read is a foundational skill that we want to make sure is SOLID for all of our students. Reading is such a complex process within the brain and the more practice we get, the stronger our little brains grow. Our goal is 100% participation - can't wait to see how many minutes our Little Leopards read this trimester!

Check out our current progress - together, we can do this!!!!

Making and keeping friends is one of the most important and positive experiences for our students in Kinder and 1st grade. As a school, we will celebrate the development of these critically important skills during our classroom Friendship Parties happening on Thursday, Feb 13th.

Students will have the opportunity to exchange cards as a token of their friendships with the other children in their class. Participating in this card exchange is completely optional, however, if a student does choose to participate, they need to prepare a card for every person in their class.

How will you know the names of the other students you might ask? Don't worry - we got you! Classroom teachers will send (or have sent already) as list of the students in the class. Along with the list of names, classroom teachers will also provide guidance about when the completed cards should be returned to school for distribution.

Classroom teachers will also communicate any party needs that they might have (supplies, volunteers, etc.), so be on the lookout for those messages as well.

If you are uncertain about your child's vaccination status, please reach out to our main office. We are happy to help. We do not want any of our little Leopards to miss any school, so we will be sharing this information early and often.

If our records indicate that your child still needs vaccinations, the main office has contacted you using the mailing address provided at registration.

All adults who want to support Liberty as a classroom volunteer or as a chaperone must be on the district's approved volunteer list. There is a background check form to complete (linked below) and submit to the main office. Volunteers will receive an official letter to inform them of their approved status, or an individual can check with the main office. Designation as an approved volunteer is good for 3 years and once an individual is an approved volunteer, this is good for all schools in the district.
