Support Liberty Middle School Students with Supplies!
Dear families:
We are looking to build up our supply of board games and card games for indoor recess on rainy/wintery days, extension activities, and the after school program. If you have any new or gently used, age-appropriate games collecting dust, we would love to have them! You or your student can drop off games to the main office any time during regular hours (7:00 am – 3:00 pm). Please contact Jen Filsinger, Assistant Principal, via email (jlfilsinger@fcps.edu) with any questions. Thank you for supporting our school and our students!
Sincerely,
Jen Filsinger
Assistant Principal

Health Information Forms and Emergency Care Forms
We want to remind you of the importance of the Health Information Form (HIF) and the Emergency Care Information form for your child’s enrollment. These forms are essential for identifying students who may need healthcare support within our educational environment.
If you have a SIS ParentVUE account, you can submit these forms electronically through the Online Verification/Update packet. For families without a SIS ParentVUE account, these forms are available on the General Registration Forms page. If you need a ParentVUE account, please contact Victoria Reyes at vvreyes@fcps.edu.
State of Attendance for Quarter 1
Liberty Middle School will again send out periodic updates on attendance data throughout the year. Before the end of the quarter, caregivers will receive an update with the number of absences their student has had so far this year as well as tardy data. All students’ caregivers who enrolled their student will receive this data, and it is not in any way meant to be a warning or an alarm—just an FYI. It will include resources to support your students should that be beneficial or needed.
Thank you for your partnership.
Cross Country Volunteers
On Saturday 10/19 and 10/26, Liberty will be hosting cross country meets for the county. The meet will run in 2 stages from 8:00AM to Noon. Your help is greatly appreciated supporting this event.
The first groups will run from 8:00AM to 10:00AM and the second group of schools from 10:00AM - 12:00PM. We need 18 volunteers around the course and to help lead students on bike as the Rabbit (ahead of students) and the Caboose (follow the last ones in). Your help with this momentous event is greatly appreciated as we welcome over 200 students from across the county to Liberty.
Please sign up for the time and choice of volunteer post. We will try to accommodate you.

The Liberty Music Department will have its Chipotle Fundraiser on Tuesday, October 29. Please consider supporting our music students and enjoy a night without cooking! Thank you all so much for your support!
Liberty Library Amazon Wishlist:
Please consider helping the Liberty Library by purchasing off our Amazon wish list. Students love to use these items in the library makerspace and during lunches. Additionally, if you have MagnaTiles or PicassoTiles that your family is no longer using, I would love them for the library!

Materials Review Committee
We are seeking parent volunteers to serve on our Materials Review Committee. Committee members will read or watch the texts that teachers submit for approval to ensure that it is age appropriate for students. We will also meet monthly to discuss the texts prior to completing the required forms.
Please reach out to Maggie Wickham at mpwickham@fcps.edu if interested in serving on the committee this year.

Food For Neighbors
Hunger is an unwelcome guest this holiday season.
For many families in our school community struggling financially, providing daily meals is difficult and a special holiday meal can become a source of worry and stress. Help a local family know the joy of gathering together for a holiday meal. We’re partnering with Food For Neighbors to provide $50 grocery store gift cards to our most vulnerable families. Visit the Food For Neighbors’ website to learn how you can help. Thank you for your generosity.
