Now that you know what Title I is and what it is meant to do, we’d like you to take a look at our Title I Plan and Parent Compact. This plan is intended to further the 2-way communication between the classroom and the home that helps students succeed. Please access the Title I brochure linked here and use it for helpful tips as well as a space to write out parent and student goals.
Title I provides federal funds to help economically disadvantaged students meet at least the minimum state academic standards and proficiency on state assessments.
Our updated bus routes are now available. You can find the Yellow, Red, Blue and Green routes here. They are downloadable to print for you as well.
Arizona law allows you to reduce what you owe in state taxes, dollar for dollar, up to $400. It’s a win/win!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Parent/teacher conferences can feel challenging. Frantic work schedules and overwhelming family commitments can make it difficult to schedule a conference, much less get to it on time! In addition, some parents revert to their “inner child,” feeling intimidated about sitting down with the teacher, especially if they are sitting in little chairs! Here are some tips for having an effective and anxiety-free conference with your child’s teacher.
It used to be that kids went to school, dads worked and moms stayed at home. Once in a while, mom might bake cupcakes for a school party, but she probably didn’t attend it. Parents didn’t decorate doors and bulletin boards, serve on committees or volunteer in the classroom. MAYBE they helped with homework; but even that used to be way less common. Homework was the child’s responsibility.
As we get started on our second month of school (can you believe it?), the season is starting to change. The days will get shorter and cooler weather will be upon us as autumn commences. One thing that will not change with the season is our six pillars of character that we use day in and day out: Trust, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship (TRRFCC). When our students graduate from Liberty, it’s important to us that they move on with these character attributes that will ultimately help them succeed and make a positive impact in their communities.
Dear Parents,
We know you have options when it comes to your child’s education, and I want to thank you for partnering with us. We truly value our students and parents and believe that all children have the ability to be successful both in and outside our school.
