Vaccine Clinic - Attention Parents!
|

Clay County Health Department will be partnering with LHS to provide a clinic for juniors to receive the required vaccine MCV4 for their senior year. This clinic will be held at LHS on

ALL students must have on file, in the nurse's office, documentation of having received the MCV4 vaccine
after their 16th birthday. If your student has not received this vaccine before, or received a dose before the age of 16, they need to receive this vaccine before the start of their senior year.

Digital Library Access:
Mid-Continent Public Library has partnered with Liberty Public Schools to provide digital library access to every LPS student and staff member. This will allow students to access the many digital and print resources that MCPL provides.
These resources include research databases, homework help, ebooks, digital soundbooks, digital magazines, online courses, language learning resources, and more. The digital cards that MCPL will provide do not conflict with personal library cards that students may already have. Nothing needs to be done to ensure your child receives access to these resources. If you have questions about this partnership or if you would like to opt out of this offering, please email Andrea Sumy, Director of Library Media Services at
