Thank you for another great week! We really enjoyed seeing parents come out to Open House, PTA and the Boy Scouts meetings on THURSDAY! We had a great turnout! If you were not able to attend the Title 1 Information Night and are interested, I will be hosting a meeting on August 28th from 6-7 VIRTUALLY to review the information. I will send out a reminder next week with a link for those that want to join!

We will begin dismissal at 3:30 for the duration of the school year! Thank you for being patient as students learn the routines and procedures! Our goal everyday is a 3:45 end time for dismissal!

Please make sure that you are staying in your car and going through the car rider pickup. We need to keep the front clear for special situations, buses and daycare

Please see the buttons down below for links to the supply lists. There is tons of information here so please review carefully!

Please fill out the Back to School Forms on Skyward as soon as possible and sign up for School Cafe. Click on the buttons at the bottom of this newsletter.

Class Dojo is essential. It is the one-stop-shop to stay current with what is going on in your child's classroom and at Liberty Grove! Please be on the lookout for the invite from your child's teacher. Thanks for all that you do!

There will be no parent visitors on campus until after Fall Break. We are working very hard to install strong routines and procedures with students on campus and need time to ensure these are taught and followed properly. Thank you for understanding as we work to ensure safety and security for all students on campus! More information will be coming about visitors joining us on campus! We look forward to seeing you soon!

This includes the Start with Hello campaign to teach students to reach out to those that look lonely and say “Hello!”
