Principal's Message 10-27-2024
Dear Liberty High Community,
It is amazing how quickly the school year is going for everyone. Can you believe that we have just started quarter 2? Most students are doing amazing work, catching up on credits, and keeping their grades up. However, some students have still having difficulties meeting the expectations of Liberty High. Our staff will be talking to those struggling students again during this upcoming 3rd week of the 2nd quarter. We will also be talking to some parents to schedule a student/parent/staff conference to discuss individual student situations. If you are concerned about your students progress, please, do not hesitate to contact the Liberty High Staff at 209-331-7633.
The end of the quarter celebration was very fun. Students enjoyed games, food, and the outdoors. Project 180 was able to provide additional opportunities for excitement. The student response was very good and everyone enjoyed themselves.
As a reminder, please, meet with your student on a regular basis to ensure their success at Liberty High School. Attendance is mandatory. Students missing too many days can put their enrollment in jeopardy.
Parents and students, thank you for using social media appropriately. Please remember to mindful of your posts and avoid reposting rumors or inappropriate messages. Liberty High School and Lodi Unified School District are very safe places. We can all work together to keep our schools safe by continuing to provide tips to the Tip Line .
Have a blessed day, Dr. Christmas
