Kiss and Ride Procedures
Parents should enter and exit from the entrance closest to Compton Road. Please follow the signs and directions of school staff. Students may exit their vehicles starting at 7:10AM.
Please remember SAFETY and PATIENCE when dropping off (7:10AM) or picking up your student in the Kiss and Ride loop. In the mornings, please do not pull to the inside and pass cars as students are getting out. If there is a slow or stalled vehicle, a staff member will direct you around when it is safe to do so. 30 seconds seems like forever when you are in a rush. If possible, your student may walk or ride the bus.
In the afternoons, drivers may line up in the kiss and ride circle. Students will be dismissed at 2:15 and report to the kiss and ride circle. Staff will direct cars out safely, as soon as the student is in the car. Thank you very much for your patience and cooperation!

We are so excited to be working with you all to help make Liberty MS a positive, welcoming, and inclusive community for our students, staff, and families.
This summer, your PTA Team has been busy planning ways to help support both staff and students during the school year. We have some exciting new programs we are bringing to Liberty this year. We cannot do any of this work without each of you. We need everyone's help to be able to offer programs for students, provide staff support, and give opportunities to help engage our Liberty families. One of the biggest ways to help us achieve this is to join the PTA.
This year we have three membership levels: staff, parents, and community/extended family. If you are interested in joining please click on the link: https://libertylions.memberhub.com/store?limit=21&live=true . Please also share this link with your own friends and family and encourage them to join too! Every little bit helps. And the more members we have the more we can offer to students, staff, and the school.
Don't forget to come by the PTA table at Liberty Live this Thursday from 3pm-5pm. We will have information about the upcoming school year we have planned for our students, staff, and the entire Liberty MS community. You can find out ways you can get involved and can help.
