Message from the Principal
Liberty Park Families,
This Thursday the 31st is our annual Family Literacy Night! We are partnering with our local PBS station WFYI to create a Super amazing evening. See the flyer below in this newsletter for more information (Flyers/RSVP's will also come home with your student). The event begins at 6pm but we would like to invite our 3rd grade parents to arrive a little early (5:30pm) to talk about the important IREAD3 test that students will be taking later this year. This is always one of our biggest events of the year and we hope to see you there! See below in this newsletter for more information.
Have a great weekend and as always, I thank you for your continued support of Liberty Park Elementary!
Your Principal,
Jason Brooks

- Science Opportunity: I did want to let each of you know of an annual and FREE (except parking) event at the Indiana State Fairgrounds called Celebrate Science. It is a neat event that brings numerous exhibitors (including many colleges and universities around the state) in one location and shares info with students of all ages that are interested in STEM-related topics. According to their website (http://www.celebratescienceindiana.org/) this year’s event is Saturday, October 7 from 9:30am – 5:00pm. If you are looking to do something with your kids that day, you may want to consider this event.
- Book Store - The student book store will be open on September 5th. Students are able to purchase pencils, folders, and other items during morning arrival.
- Transportation Changes and Early Dismissals: Any transportation changes must be called in to the front office prior to 3:00pm. No changes after that time will be in effect until the following day. Students also will not be allowed to be signed out between 3 and 3:30pm for appointments. Car riders will be released from their classrooms at 3:30pm.
- Car Riders: If your student will be a car rider this school year please visit the front office to complete the car rider paperwork.
- Tardy: Our tardy bell rings at 8:40am. Any students arriving after that time will be counted as tardy and must report to the front office. Families who are tard
- Parking Reminder: There is no parking along the front side walk of the building. It is important that this area remain cleared for fire and emergency vehicles. Please park in the designated parking lot areas when visiting the school.
- Lunch Visitors: If you have a grandparent or family member that you anticipate coming in to have lunch with your student, please ensure that they have been included as an Emergency Contact.

- Student Absences: If your child is ill and will not be at school, please call the front office at 532-1850 to report his/her absence. Please call and report if your child will be arriving late to school due to a doctor’s appointment. Doing so helps us to know that your child is safe and with you.

Each school year we have a fundraising drive to help us raise money to support both our school and PTA events and budgets. This year, we wanted to share that the LP (school & PTA) fundraiser drive will be held September 15th—September 29th.
This year, we will again be selling Yankee Candles. This was a very popular and successful fundraiser in the past and we hope that you are able to help us raise money for our students and school!

Dress Code Reminder: jeans/jeggings/denim pants of any color may only be worn to school on special occasions. Students will bring home a "ticket" the day before jeans will be allowed. Black or gray jeans/jeggings are not uniform wear and we may contact you to bring uniform pants/shorts/skirt/dress to school so your student may change clothes. Also, young ladies should not be wearing leggings as pants, regardless of the length of their shirt. Leggings should only be worn under a skirt or shorts. Acceptable attire for bottoms is pants (slacks/khakis) /shorts/skirts/dresses in black, light or navy blue, and tan. With warmer weather headed our way, we'd also like to remind parents that open-toed or open-heeled shoes (sandals/flip-flops) are not permitted. Booties or tennis shoes with heels higher than 1" are discouraged as injury may occur during gym or recess.
Student Uniform Policy - LP Dress Code - The students uniformly dressed policy is available in the Parent/Student Handbook as well as our school website. A link can also be found in the Helpful Links section of this newsletter.
If uniform assistance is needed, please do not hesitate to contact our dean, Kathy Hench, at 317-532-1850.

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.
