Your Words Matter
Our administration will be speaking with students this week about the importance of their words and actions. We will emphasize threats, harassment, racial slurs, and bullying in any form are unacceptable. Students will be reminded to be mindful of how they treat others, both in person and online.
Please be aware that such behavior will not be tolerated. Consequences for infractions can range from out-of-school suspension to a tribunal hearing, potentially resulting in expulsion from Liberty Middle School for an extended period of time. We will be thoroughly discussing the content of the graphic below.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing these values at home.
Fall Picture Day is Coming Up
We are excited to announce this year's picture day on October 14, 2024. We are partnering with Strawbridge to bring you the best quality photos. These photos will be used in infinite campus and the yearbook, so children are encouraged to dress to impress. We ask that students avoid wearing hats or covering their faces as these cause shadows and encourage students to avoid spaghetti straps. If your child is unable to attend this picture day, we will offer at least one more opportunity for retakes.
Neptune Navigate
Dear Parents,
Raising kids in this digital age is challenging. At Liberty, we place a high priority on keeping your children safe and equipping them with the tools to become responsible digital citizens. That’s why Forsyth County Schools has partnered with Neptune Navigate, an engaging and comprehensive program that teaches students how to be good digital citizens and stay safe online.
Starting this week, we will be rolling out Neptune Navigate lessons in Literacy, Enrichment, and Georgia Studies. The curriculum covers essential topics: Digital Citizenship, Cyberbullying, Digital Footprint, Social Media, Media Literacy, Privacy and Cyber Awareness, and Tech Laws.
We also want to extend this learning to your home. Neptune Navigate provides a valuable resource for parents called “Continue the Conversation,” which includes a short video summarizing the critical information from each student module. We encourage you to use this resource to further discuss these important topics with your child. You can access the "Continue the Conversation" module for parents here: https://neptunenavigate.com/ctc/.
We are committed to helping your children become knowledgeable, safe, and responsible digital citizens. Thank you for partnering with us in this effort.
