Sprit Week the Week of April 29th

Hello!

We are excited to share that on Wednesday, May 1st Liberty Junior School will be hosting a Futures & Careers Day for students, sharing insights and providing opportunities for learning about different industries that may be in their futures. Students completed an aptitude assessment called YouScience, allowing them to learn more about what they may be good at but just don’t know much about yet. This is where you come in!

 We are looking for industry partners willing to come in and speak to students about their industries and professions. The goal of the day is for students to gain insights into what a day in the life might be like, what characteristics or skills would be used in that career, and other meaningful tidbits that can give them an idea if that is something they could seem themselves doing.

 The commitment is Wednesday, May 1st from 8:00-10:00am. Students will be going through two rotations, so we would ask that presenters prepare a 45 minute presentation and activity that would be given twice.

 If you are willing and able to participate, please complete this form to let us know you can make it. Once you’ve RSVPed, we’ll be sending final logistical information closer to the time of the event.

Thanks for your consideration, and we hope you can join us!

8th Graders from Liberty Junior School and Hopewell Junior School are invited to a dance on Friday, May 10th from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM at Lakota East Freshman Building.  The dance is for Hopewell or Liberty Junior students only..  Tickets are $10 and will be on sale at lunch on May 8-10 or at the door.  

AM Drop Off:  If you are dropping off a student in the morning, please enter the parking lot off of Dutchland Parkway.  When entering the parking lot, please stay to the right and in line with the other cars.  Pull your car all the way up, so we can use the entire sidewalk as a drop off lane.  All students should be dropped off in the line right beside the sidewalk. As soon as you are adjacent to the sidewalk and the line has stopped moving, PLEASE have your student exit the vehicle - do not allow them to stay in the vehicle to try to get closer to the door.  This just slows the entire process and results in students being late to school.   Remain in line and make a large loop and exit the lot onto Dutchland Parkway (again staying to the right).  Please do not drop off students anywhere in the parking lot except next to the sidewalk.  If students are walking through the parking lot, it is unsafe with all of the moving vehicles and it slows the process when students walk in front of the drop off line.    You may drop your student off at school as early as 6:30 AM.  I have added a map for clarification.

PM Pick Up:  Upon arriving to school, please park your vehicle in a parking space.  Your child can walk to your car in a parking space.  If people do not park their car in a parking space and just form a line, it blocks other vehicles from leaving their parking space.  Please be courteous to others and park you vehicle.   Thank You!

We have a resource pantry at Liberty Junior School that houses supplies for students in need.  We keep everything from toothbrushes to microwaveable mac n cheese in our pantry.  If you are interested in contributing to our resource panty, sign up using the Sign Up Genius.  You can drop your donation off at school anytime and mark it "Resource Pantry" so we know to put it into the pantry as a free give away for any student who needs it.  Thank you for your generosity!
