Summer break can get expensive; the key word in this sentence is CAN. There are so many ways to keep children’s minds and bodies actively entertained while they are off school for the next few months. And enjoying fun-filled summer break activities does not mean having to empty your wallet.

Get ready for AzMERIT testing April 6-10. Use our fun Spirit Week themes to help you remember important tips for good testing! Check out the flyer to see what we have planned.
Late in 2014, the Arizona State Board of Education adopted Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching (AzMERIT) as the new statewide standardized testing. The new exam system will be given to 3rd grade through high school students in April and will replace the AIMS test in reading, writing and math.
We wanted to answer some questions that have come up so everyone is aware and on the same page as we adapt to this important change in education.
Most folks are familiar with the TV show by that name. Many schools do their own version of what not to wear. They have a long list of clothing deemed inappropriate for school and spend a lot of time and energy monitoring how students are dressed every day. That is time unwisely spent, in our opinion—time that should be spent on the business of education.
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?
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”?
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.
