Liberty Weekly Update

We have been learning about gratitude and the ability it has to change our mindset. Mrs. Krieg has been getting into the classrooms to talk about the things we are grateful for and the use of a gratitude jar as part of our SEL lessons with Mrs. Matthys. Here are some of the things our students are grateful for: family, friends, siblings, food, a roof over their head, pets, teachers, education, freedom, playing outside, grandparents, nature, water, breathing, and their Brickie family. This list could go on and on. It is encouraging to hear all of the things the students are grateful for and we can’t wait to continue practicing gratitude and filling our gratitude jar all throughout the school year.

• Students need to have their Chromebooks (charged) and headphones at school daily.
• Dress your Brickies for outside recess!
• Please send your child with a water bottle and a healthy snack daily!
• Chromebook insurance is a separate fee again this year for $25. You will need to sign the paper asking for insurance, the fee will then be assigned to you in Skyward. The insurance is not effective until purchased. You can pay through Skyward or send cash or check to Liberty Elementary. You can opt out, but we strongly encourage all parents to purchase insurance.

• How does your child become a Mathlete? Students master their facts in XtraMath based on their grade level expectation and earn a Liberty Mathlete shirt.

If your child is interested in doing an after school club that involves physical activity we need to have a physical on file. This is due to not having a nurse at the building after school hours. You can print the Physical Form from the link below or use any Physical Form from your doctor's office. Please see the flyer below for information. We do have several fun after school clubs all year long, some starting very soon!
