November 2018

Dear Liberty Families,

As many of you know, Liberty’s student population is growing; the number of students enrolled this year is more than expected.  This increased enrollment has created some large class sizes.  The good news is we are receiving additional staffing to address this concern.  I have worked closely with our department leaders and teachers to identify necessary adjustments and have developed a plan for the changes.

While changing classes at this point may not feel ideal, smaller and more balanced classes will allow students more direct contact with their teachers.  We will be adding an additional four classes to the master schedule, which will affect multiple grade levels. Other classes may be affected as well as we work to balance class sizes and make the best use of allocated teaching time.  Our goal is to make thoughtful and caring changes with as little impact as possible. 

Changes will take place at the end of the first quarter, on November 2nd. Students will receive a new schedule the morning of Monday, November 5th.  

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we make adjustments to create more positive outcomes for our students.

Sincerely,

Gregory E. Timmons

Principal
