Message from the Principal : Mrs. Ellen Rechenberger
Dear Liberty Families,
I hope you are all enjoying a restful summer and are getting ready to begin the new school year. Liberty is a wonderful learning community where we encourage our students to grow in the 7Cs. They are: Compassion, Content Mastery, Communication, Cultural Awareness, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Creativity. Our goal is for your student to be successful in the 21st century.
We will be welcoming some new members to our Liberty family. They are: Mrs. Sariely Petit (Grade 1), Dr. Elizabeth DiPrima (Psychologist), Mr. Hal Stone (PE) and Ms. Marina Gomez (Guidance Counselor). Liberty staff also welcomed three new baby girls this summer so we will have some new faces as substitutes. They are: Mrs. Cassidy (Mrs. Brundage), Ms. Griffin (Mrs. Shannon) and Mrs. Muchanic (Mrs. Nealon). Mrs. Niksa will also be taking on a new role as the main office secretary. We look forward to working with all! Your child's teacher information and transportation information can be found on the Parent Portal on August 23rd. If you need log-in assistance, please call the Registration Office (353-7038).
Liberty Elementary had major renovations done this summer and we are looking forward to sharing all the updates with you. Please join us for "Back to School Night" on Wednesday, September 25th at 7pm.
Our first day of school is Wednesday, September 4th. Kindergarten students should go directly to their classroom and students in Grades 1-5 should report to the Gym upon arriving at school. It is a full day of school for all students. Kindergarten parents are welcome to join us that morning for "Tea and Tissues" at 9:30am.
The Liberty staff and I look forward to working with you and your child throughout the school year to provide a positive learning environment where all children can be successful!
Enjoy the remaining days of summer and we look forward to seeing our Liberty students on September 4th.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Ellen M. Rechenberger
