WE NEED YOU on our PTO!! Let's work together to make Liberty the best place for our students' to learn and grow!

Our PTO works to support our students and staff in many ways. At each monthly meeting, we discuss ways to provide support to our students and staff. We also plan events that engage families in their students' learning.

Have you filled out a free and reduced meal application for the 2021-2022 school year? If you haven’t, please take a few moments to fill out the application today. While meals are free to all students due to the pandemic, the information collected on the free and reduced meal application is needed for program funding within the District. Families who qualify for free or reduced meals may also qualify for P-EBT benefits. P-EBT benefits carry over for 30 days in the school year or until a new application is filled out for the new school year. The free and reduced meal application is available on the SCCSD website. (Graphic for use with the free and reduced meal application reminder is attached.)

The District’s Return-to-Learn Plan including our health and safety protocols and our weekly report for positive COVID-19 tests reported by parents and staff is available on the District’s website. The weekly positive COVID-19 data is updated every Friday as part of the District’s commitment to maintaining transparent communication with our families.

Liberty Elementary has been using a computerized visitor management and sign-out system for this school year. We believe the implementation of this new technology will has great benefit to you, your child, and this school by better allowing us to track visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools, therefore providing a safer environment for everyone. We also use this system for families who choose to sign their student out early for an appointment. To ensure every visitor checks in using the new computerized system, you must enter the building through the main entrance.

The visitor management system is a computerized security program that offers many features to protect your child from outside threats. Let's review the basic functions of the system. First, any visitor entering Liberty Elementary will be required to provide a state-issued photo ID. If you do not have a state-issued photo ID, you may contact the school in advance of your visit to inquire about other acceptable forms of identification

Once the ID is presented, a school representative will scan this ID using the latest in ID scanning technology. The system instantly captures the name, photo, and birth date of the visitor. When this successfully occurs, the software compares the identity of the visitor with the national sex offender registry. If a positive match occurs, school personnel will be immediately and discreetly alerted. Individuals with a sex offense on record will not be permitted to enter the building. In addition, scanning will take place for those picking up students early, alerting our staff to any custody issues.

It is important to note that the computerized visitor management system only scans the visitor's name, date of birth, and photo for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. Additional visitor data from the driver's license is not gathered, nor is the system connected to any other system such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Therefore, any other information on the ID is not scanned by the system and is not accessible to any of the users.

Once an entry is approved, the visitor will be issued a badge that identifies him/her as a visitor. The badge includes the date and the purpose of the visit. All staff members are trained to recognize visitor badges. Collectively, everyone in the building will be working together to ensure all visitors have a badge on and have gone through the appropriate check-in process at the main entrance.

As you leave our facility, please pass through the main office to return your badge so we can scan you out of the system.

The safety of our students is our highest priority, and the computerized visitor management system enhances the safety practices at Liberty Elementary. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions, please call our office at 712-279-6845
