 The Liberty Ledger
Providing students and parents with the important updates and report of events happening at LMS.
Important Dates:
- Wednesday, January 29- School Closed (Teacher Workday)
Updated Kiss and Ride Procedures:
Kiss and Ride Procedures with Updates
Please use the second entrance for Kiss and Ride. The main entrance is for buses and staff only in the mornings.
Parents, please be patient with kiss and ride. We are experiencing some of our largest numbers ever with kiss and ride. In the mornings, please pull all the way around to the last kiss and ride sign that tells you to stop. This allows us to unload several cars at once instead of only a few when cars stop in the middle of the loop. Give other cars time and wait for them to pull out. This means do not pass on the inside lane. Staff will direct you around slow or stalled cars. Safety is our #1 priority.
**Effective immediately, we will start letting students out at 7:06. Students are to go to door #8 to enter the building.**

Gradebook:
Gradebook Available Until End-of-Quarter Based on community feedback from the first quarter closure, FCPS revisited the scheduled dates for closing the Gradebook and Report Card modules in the SIS ParentVUE and StudentVUE apps.
Moving forward, the app will close in alignment with the actual quarter-end dates. This change will allow students and families to view their assignments and grades until the last day of the quarter. Gradebook will be closed for the second quarter from Tuesday, January 28, 4 p.m. to Tuesday, February 4, 6 a.m.
Access Your Child’s Grades Through SIS ParentVueLearn how your ParentVUE account allows you to easily access grade reports and other helpful information about your child.
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.
Free and Reduced-Price Meals:
Learn more about the criteria and process to apply for free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch.
If you have children eligible for the federal Free and Reduced-Price Meals program, they may also be eligible to participate in other Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) fee-based programs without paying a fee or by paying a reduced fee (e.g fees associated with elective classes).

The free and reduced-price meals application also includes a section where you provide consent to share information allowing FCPS staff (School Principal, school counselors and other FCPS program staff) to share information about your children's meal eligibility status.
Information received by FCPS staff will only be used for the purposes described in the application.
