Message from the Principal : Mrs. Ellen Rechenberger

December, 2018

Dear Liberty Families, 

December is an exciting month at Liberty! We continue to celebrate our Liberty “STAR” students and staff members at Morning Program for their “Acts of Stardom”. We are very proud of them.   We will continue to honor our Liberty STARs every month.

Our students have already shown how much they care by pajamas during the past few weeks. Our “Pajama Day” at Liberty was a huge success! We collected 100 pairs of  pajamas for People to People. Thank you to our staff members for coordinating this wonderful community project.   Liberty’s generosity is not stopping there. Our  students will be collecting mittens to be given to families in need during this holiday season. Thank you for your continuing generosity. Great job Liberty families!!!

On Tuesday, December 18th, we will be having our Grades K-2 Winter Concert at 9:30am at Liberty. Please join us! The Winter Concert for Grades 3-5 will be on January 9th at 7pm at Nyack HS.

Please check our “Lost and Found” if your child has lost clothing. Our collection is

growing!

Parent-teacher Conferences will be held in the afternoons of December 4th and 11th and in the evening of Thursday, December 6th. On the days of the afternoon conferences, the students will be dismissed at 11:45. The Nyack Center and Y-program will be closed on the early dismissal days so please make sure your child knows their dismissal plan.

School will be closed December 24 –January 1st. School reopens on January 2nd!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our Liberty families a happy and healthy holiday season. It is truly a gift to work with your children each day.

 

Best wishes for the New Year!

 Sincerely yours,

 

 Mrs. Ellen M. Rechenberger

LIBERTY’S IMPORTANT REMINDERS

SCHOOL BEGINS: School will begin for Grades K-5 on Wednesday September 5th. Classes begin promptly at 8:50 and dismissal begins at 3:15. It will be a full day for all K-5 students. Kindergarteners should go to their classroom and students in Grades 1-5 should go to the Gym upon arriving at school. Students who arrive after 8:50 must stop at the office for a late pass. Please make every effort to make sure your child arrives on time.ATTENDANCE: If your child is ill and cannot attend school, please call Mrs. Fredericks (our nurse) at 353-7250 and leave a message. Please leave your child’s full name, class and reason for the absence. When your child returns to school, a written note is required.

BREAKFAST/LUNCH: Breakfast is available for students each morning from 8:20 to 8:45 and costs $1.00. Those students should report to the cafeteria upon arrival. Lunch is available each day for students to purchase and the cost is $2.35. A menu will be sent home the beginning of each month and is on the website. Meal accounts can be prepaid weekly or monthly for your convenience through MyPaymentPlus.com (online payment plan). 

DISMISSAL: For the safety of children, parents and staff, please follow our dismissal guidelines. Dismissal will begin at 3:15 each day.

WALKERS: These students will be called to be dismissed. If you are accompanying your child home, please wait by the flag pole at the main entrance.

BUS RIDERS: Bus numbers will be announced as the bus arrives. When the bus arrives, an adult will escort the children to the bus circle. Kindergarteners will be assigned “bus buddies” by their teachers to help them with bus procedures. An adult must be at the bus stop to meet Kindergarten students.

CAR RIDERS: Students whose parents will be picking them up by car will meet in the Gym. For everyone’s safety, these students will be dismissed when the buses have left the school grounds, which is approximately 3:25. Drivers should remain in their vehicles and pull up to the curb in the circle and their child will be escorted to the vehicle. Please do not park in the circle.

**** If your child has a change in dismissal plans, a note must  be sent to the classroom teacher who will alert the office. It would be appreciated if phone calls were not made for this purpose unless of an emergency.
