The Wolfpack Weekly
Liberty Primary School | Liberty, SC
August 10, 2026
What a great first week at LPS!
We’re off to a fantastic start, and it has been so much fun to see our students back in the building and settling into their routines. Even our youngest learners in K4 are already doing an amazing job!
Starting Monday, our entire PACK will be together for the first time! With our staggered start complete, all 525 students will be on campus together. As everyone gets into the rhythm of a full arrival and dismissal, please be patient and expect some delays with car line—especially during these first few days.
K4 and K5 families: Parents may walk students to their classrooms on Monday and Tuesday. Beginning Wednesday, we ask that you use the car line or park and walk your child to the rotunda--be sure to use the crosswalk. One of our staff members will be there to greet them and help them get safely to class. Building independence is an important part of these first weeks, and we promise they are in good hands!
Thank you for a wonderful start to the school year and for partnering with us as we get everyone settled in. Be sure to read below for important updates and reminders.
We are so glad to have our PACK together and can’t wait for a great week!
Wishing you well,
Jessica Patterson, Principal
New Information this Week
Morning Arrival Reminder
Just a reminder that school begins at 7:50 AM, and students should be in their classrooms and ready to learn by 7:50.
To allow students enough time to enter the building and make it to class, morning carline will close at 7:48 AM. At that time, the sign will be placed at the entrance to the parking lot, and any students arriving after the sign is out will need to be walked into the front office and signed in by an adult.
Our doors open at 7:20 AM, so there is plenty of time for students to arrive, get settled, and be ready for a great day. Thank you for helping us start each morning on time and ready to learn
Important Dismissal Information
Keeping dismissal safe, smooth, and efficient takes all of us! Please remember:
- 1:45 PM: All dismissal changes must be entered in PickUp Patrol by 1:45.
- 2:00 PM: Early dismissals must be completed through the front office before 2:00. Students will not be dismissed after 2:00 PM.
- Car Tags: You must have your physical car tag displayed for dismissal. Pictures of car tags will not be accepted. If you do not have your tag, you will be asked to park, come into the front office, and show a photo ID. Once verified, you may return to the carline for dismissal.
These procedures help us make sure every student gets to the right person and the right place safely. Thank you for helping us keep dismissal running smoothly!

Class Dojo
We’re excited to use Class Dojo schoolwide again this year! This free app/website is a great way to stay connected with your child’s class and our whole school by sharing pictures, updates, and events.
You should have already received an invite from your child’s teacher. If not, please contact them so you can get connected.
When you open the app, you may see offers for paid upgrades—please know these are optional. For all LPS communication and purposes, the free version is all you need.
i-Ready Testing
This week, our students will take the Reading and Math i-Ready assessment. i-Ready is an online program that helps us measure each child’s current skill level and tailor instruction to meet their individual needs. It is not graded, but it provides valuable information to guide teaching and learning throughout the year.
We encourage students to get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast so they can do their very best.
Change of Clothes
It would be a HUGE help if all students had a change of clothes in their backpacks in case it is needed. While at school, there are times when students may spill lunch on their clothes or fall in mud at recess, and our younger friends may even have a bathroom accident. If they have a change of clothes in their backpack, it helps us tremendously and makes them feel confident in these situations. Please include a change of clothes in your child's backpack.
Thanks for your help in this matter!
Reminders
Arrival and Dismissal Information
Backpack Tags
All students have a tag zip-tied to their bookbag to help our staff identify if they are a car rider, bus rider, or attend After School Care. Please do not remove this tag, as it will need to remain on the bookbag for the entire school year. If your child gets a new bookbag, simply inform their teacher, and we will provide a new tag.
WOLF 87.9 FM
We're excited to announce our new school radio station, WOLF 87.9 FM! Tune in during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up for important updates and directions to help make these times as smooth as possible. WOLF will provide real-time information to assist with the flow of traffic and ensure that all students are safely dropped off and picked up. We encourage all parents to listen in to stay informed and make the process easier for everyone.
