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.


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

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.
