FROM THE NURSE:
If your child has medication that is in the nurse’s office that they won’t need in the next few weeks, please remind your child to stop by and pick it up in the next few weeks. This is for medications that are taken on an “as needed basis”, not daily medication. We will send the daily medications home with students the last week of school, but will keep enough here to get us through to the last day of school.

As Liberty Public Schools moves forward with the middle level reconfiguration in the fall of 2013, we have created several resources and documents to help families understand the change and the impact it will have on their children. The resources can be found at http://www.liberty.k12.mo.us/parents/august-2013-grade-configuration-changes. Here you can find video presentations and interactive maps that show boundary proposals for the middle level and high schools. Any questions or comments regarding the project can be directed to Scott Carr at scarr@liberty.k12.mo.us.
Attention Parents: As the weather becomes even warmer we ask that you please keep in mind the school dress code and make sure your child is dressed appropriately for school each day! To review the dress codes please go to this link:

We are aware of the heavy traffic around and in the parking lot and hope that this will make drop off and pick-ups more efficient.
