Liberty Links

Welcome February! The students have been working hard! Last we closed out the week with our PBIS Incentive Staff versus Student Dodgeball! It was a great time! We have some exciting events coming up - including student theme days, our PTO fundraiser, and our A/B Honor Roll Celebration! In addition, Homework Club is offered Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 2:45-3:45pm, and we have several academic supports in place for students throughout the week.

Is your student in need of a focused space to complete homework and missing assignments? Homework Club will begin this week on Tuesdays and Thursdays and will meet from 2:45-3:45pm. Please be prompt when picking students up at 3:45. Thank you!

Message from our Liberty PTO:

Our Fannie May Candy Fundraiser will kick off on Tuesday, February 4th! We are hoping that this will be Liberty's biggest fundraiser that allows the PTO to purchase and provide things for our school that benefit each Liberty student. We would love to see 100% of our students get involved and make this sale our best yet!

On Tuesday, your student will bring home an order form and parent letter with additional information. Please make sure to read the parent letter carefully!

IMPORTANT DATES:

February 4th - Sale Begins

February 18th - Orders Due (no late order forms will be accepted after this date)

If you have any questions, please email Nicole Larson at Nicole.larson@psd150.org

As always, we are grateful for your help and support!

The Bradley University/DAPCEP STEM Program for 4th - 12th graders is open for registration for the Spring of 2025. Classes will take place from Feb 1 - March 1. The course index can be found here: https://dapcep.asapconnected.com/#Courseindex

This link will show you every class for our location. You can click on the registration flyer to register for classes. Registration Flyer link here. Free dress pass for all those students who show proof of registration!

Last week we fell short to Rolling Acres with our attendance rate of 91.6% versus their attendance rate of 93.8%. This week, we take on Mark Bills! Let's be sure our Lightning show up to win back the attendance chain!

Please remember to look at Skyward on a regular basis to monitor student grades and missing assignments. Our teachers are providing students with grade-level, high quality curriculum and it does take work by the student to complete - this work will pay dividends in student success! Please contact myself or grade-level teachers if you have any questions.

Congratulations to those students who received all A and B grades during 2nd Quarter! We will be celebrating with an afternoon Honor Roll Celebration on Friday - with pizza, cookies, and juice! Invites will be sent home later this week. Congratulations once again to our students!

It is once again time for the Liberty Leadership Young Author's Contest! Please review the initial flyer below - these will also be sent home with students. More information will be coming from your student's ELA teachers!

Did you know that Liberty Leadership Middle School has a Stream Check Out program? Students are able to check out an additional stream for home use. Once prepared at school, students can use the stream to access all district platforms. Streams can also be very helpful if you need a device for any possible ELearning Days this year. Be sure to fill out the form attached and turn in to the office to check out your stream! Forms are also available in the office.

In the event of inclement weather, our district may call for a day of eLearning. If this should happen, you will be notified by robocall (text, email, phone call) by the district. You can also find information on the local news channels. If we have an eLearning day, students will complete lessons as found online or the eLearning packet that was sent home at an earlier date. Teacher will be available on MS Teams for any students that have an electronic device already at home following the schedule below:

If you have a son on the Liberty basketball team, please join the Liberty Basketball Team Remind app for announcements and updates. Send a text to: 81010 and text this message: @lbally

As the year goes on, we replenish our uniform supply for students on a regular basis. One thing that students love to borrow is our blue crew sweatshirt! If you would like to donate a sweatshirt or two for our school, please use the Amazon link below and ship directly to Liberty. Sizes S, M, L, and XL are best.

Thank you and stay cozy!
