Liberty Traditional is hosting parent/teacher conferences March 26 and 27, and we’re excited to meet up with our parents for the success of our students. However, we know that sometimes uncomfortable issues have to be raised during a parent/teacher conference. How do you prepare for that?
10 Great Reasons to Like Going to School
Here are some cheerful thoughts for our wonderful Liberty students.
It’s great to have weekends and vacations. We all need them! But what would you REALLY do if you didn’t go to school most days? Let’s face it, most students get a little bored just hanging around home. When was the last time you were at home and told your parents “there’s nothing to do”?

‘Tis the Season for Attendance Issues
This is the time of year when two seasons converge: the holiday season and cold and flu season! So there are two considerations regarding attendance that need to be mentioned. One is our request that when students are ill, they stay home. While we always want our students to be at school, we also want to minimize the spread of viruses across campus. An ill student can infect many classmates and teachers. Some schools across the country have already had to close their doors to try to contain the spread of the flu. And you may have heard that the 2014 flu shot has limited effectiveness because of the particular viruses this year. Absences due to illness are unavoidable. That’s one reason that regular attendance when you’re not sick is so important.
Keep Learning Alive During Holiday Break
Beginning December 22nd and joyfully extending through January 4th, we will be away from school appreciating family, friends and traditions. Time for splendid holiday fun and ringing in the New Year!

Arizona State Board of Education Replaces AIMS Test with New AzMERIT Test
The AzMERIT is the new adopted statewide achievement test. The Arizona Department of Education has created a letter to parents to inform them of the new change. Click below to see the Letter to Parents.
Helping Kids Serve Others
Although we should all be compassionate, caring and community minded throughout the entire year, the approaching season seems to bring the impulse front and center. An abundance of volunteer and donation opportunities present themselves and, filled with the holiday spirit, we tend to finish the year with philanthropic gestures and goodwill for those less fortunate.
Medication Update
There has been a medication update that all families and students need to be aware of!
According to the AZ Department of Education Health and Nutrition Services, all students that have prescription medications at school now must have a written doctor’s order in addition to the medication authorization form, and the medication must be in its original container with the prescription label.
For students who currently have medication at school, this must be completed by December 1, or we will no longer be able to give that medication.
If there are any questions please contact Brenda Gundelsberger, Health Services District Coordinator, at 520-721-4205.
