Message from the Principal
Liberty Park Families,
Thank you to the families that were able to join us in celebrating the 1st quarter honor roll award winners for breakfast on Thursday morning. Our teachers and students have been working very hard these past 9 weeks! I also appreciate all of the parents/guardians that came to participate in our parent teacher conferences last Tuesday. The community and collaboration between school and families is one of things that makes Liberty Park such a special place!
The next two weeks are fall intersession for Warren Township students. The staff at LP wish everyone a safe and relaxing fall break.
Have a great fall break and as always, I thank you for your continued support of Liberty Park Elementary!
Your Principal,
Jason Brooks

SCHOOL DISTRICT PUBLICATIONS/NEWS MEDIA USE
The occasion may arise when the school district wants to recognize your child or your child's school. This may include your child's photo, your child's name or your child's work in district publications, newsletters, on school district websites, and in electronic/social media or in staff training videos. We may also want to tell the media (including newspapers, television, and radio) about your child's achievements. We never knowingly release information about a student to anyone who wants to use it for commercial/political purposes. However, we will honor your request to not include your child in these types of recognitions if you notify your child's school office in writing that you do not want this type of information released.
