Principal’s Message:

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please call Mrs. Carnahan at 703-988-8202 if you have not signed up for Parent Vue. Report Cards will be delivered to parents through Parent Vue. No report cards will be sent through US mail. We want all parents to be informed of student grades. Please be sure to sign up!

Thank you to all the car riders who reconsidered riding the bus in the mornings. It has begun to shorten our car rider line. We would still like more to consider riding the bus, and thus alleviate the morning traffic in the parking lot.

Yesterday we conducted our first lockdown drill of the year. Students did an outstanding job! We will continue to practice this important drill along with fire drills and other safety drills throughout the year.

School Photo Day on September 11

Photo day at Liberty Middle School is on Monday, September 11, during PE classes. Students were sent home last week with a photo flyer with a “tear off” envelope attached to the flyer. If you did not get a flyer, please ask your child’s PE teacher or the main office for a flyer.

Please mark your background choices and photo package choices on your child’s envelope and send the envelope with your payment (checks should be made out to Lifetouch NSS) to school with your child on Monday.

You may also choose to pay online at mylifetouch.com  Liberty’s Picture Day ID is HJ227552Q0

Thank you to our parent volunteers for your help with Photo Day.  We have all eight volunteer positions filled.  Thank you for your support!
