Liberty Middle Community Member,
Mid Point of the Summer
Parents, the summer is already half over and I hope you are enjoying this special time with your child. We are continuing the acceleration for the summer months and if you’d like your child to attend the math and language arts classes, please contact the school. Course recovery is also in full swing – this is a perfect time to come in and make up failed courses with our dedicated team.

Report Cards
Per the district, “This year every student in grades 6-12 will be issued their report card on July 13. We anticipate receiving the state End-of-Course Exam scores from the Florida Department of Education around July 31. An updated report card will be issued once the district receives the scores. Report cards can be viewed using Skyward Family Access, which is under Quick Links on the OCPS home page.”
If you would like a printed copy of your child’s report card, you may visit the school. Calling ahead will allow us to expedite your request.

In this issue we have highlighted our band students and others that did such an incredible job with their year-end concerts!
COVID-19 Vaccines Available
The second dose of the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine will be offered at Liberty Wednesday, July 14 from 3:00 – 6:00 in the gymnasium. This is open to the community, so please share with your neighbors. Please park in the rear of the school in the bus loop to gain access to the gymnasium. The next round will be much, much faster and smoother. Thank you to all parents, students and the community for coming out. We hope to see you return for your second dose.
Yearbooks!
Damaged Devices
Parents, it is very important to pay any digital device fines as soon as possible. Please monitor emails and phones for upcoming messages.
Best wishes for a safe and happy July 4th holiday!

REMINDER:
Digital Device Damage and Fines
|
|
As a school we are required to assess a fine for every laptop that is not functioning including but not limited to bad battery, bad motherboard and bad bios. Once sent for repair, if it is determined that the issue is a defect and not damage caused by the student the fine will be reversed.
The fine schedule set up by the county is as follows:
- 1st incident - $50.00
- 2nd incident - $100.00
-
3rd incident – Cost of replacement ($395 - $635) or actual cost of repair

Please ask your child to take care of their device by protecting it from spills, keeping it on a hard surface or in a padded backpack when not in use and by not downloading any extensions (these can and often do contain malware).
Device fines can be paid through SchoolPay at this link:

Donating clothes and shoes to Liberty’s recycling bin helps to raise funds for the school. Please remember, when you come on campus, make a donation. Thank you! |
|
If your students are having difficulties with your laptops, please remember to try the trouble shooting techniques first before putting in a tech request. Students may enter a tech request by using this link: Click here to put in a student tech request. In the description box, detail what is happening to your computer, and please include your student number, a good contact number for your parent or guardian and their name. |

2) Bicycle crashes during the month of July by day of week and time of day. Between 8:00 pm and 12 midnight is the most dangerous time to be biking in July, but if out during these hours, then fluorescent yellow-green is your best clothing choice:

Have a safe and happy Independence Day Patriots!
