Notes from the Nurse

Welcome!  Parents, if you indicated on the Medical Emergency form that your child has a food allergy or medical concern such as Asthma, you will soon receive a letter from the nurse requesting medications to manage these conditions. There are care plans, as well, that must be completed by a physician and returned to the school. These plans help guide our staff in treating your child should an emergency arise. 

Kindergarten Parents: if your child is still in need of vaccines, you will receive a letter indicating which vaccines are due now. Please keep in mind all vaccines must be completed by the stated date in the letter, or your child may be held out of school until vaccines are up to date. Those absences will not be excused. If you have a completed vaccine record and have not turned that in to our school, you can send it to school with your student and it will be forwarded to the nurse. Please contact the nurse at 317-532-1855 if you are uncertain of your child's vaccine status or have any questions.

Message from the Principal

Liberty Park Families,

Liberty Park Elementary has extremely high expectations and we strive to be the very best elementary school in Indiana.  Every year we create a school improvement plan that is submitted to the state department of education.  Part of our school improvement process is gathering feedback from our families on things that are going well and ways that we can improve as a school.  I would be grateful if each family could take a moment to provide feedback using this anonymous survey link:  Parent Survey.

Be sure to ask your student what they have learned about CORE!  

Ask them how they can show Civility, Order, Respect, and Excellence at home as well.

Stay tuned for the 1st winners of the 17/18 school year. 


Throughout the week, each teacher will be looking for a SuperCORE student of the week going above and beyond showing all parts of CORE.  On Fridays, Mr. Brooks draws one student per grade level from the office Badge Box to earn Soaring Eagle Badge!  These students receive a free Fro-yo coupon, gift certificate to Texas Roadhouse, a special pencil, and also get to visit the office during recess to play the Wii with a friend! 

Lunch Time Reminder: We have special seating next to our Café in our LGI room for parents to enjoy lunch with their child/children. Due to allergies and student safety, you may only eat lunch with your child/children. Students may not invite friends to eat with them while visiting with their parent.  Guests must be on the child's emergency contact form. Thank you and enjoy time with your child!

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.

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.
The mission of Liberty Park, in partnership with its entire community, will educate each student by providing a positive, challenging, and enriched learning environment that enables each student to become a life-long learner and a responsible citizen in an increasingly global society.
