Welcome Back

Dear LaLiberte Families,
Next week is the start of a new school year!  We are SO excited to welcome all our new LaLiberte Lions!  

This year we have a few changes and a few additions to our staff! Mrs. Chabot has moved from Grade 3 to Grade 2; Mrs. Bertram has moved from Grade 4 to Grade 3; Mrs. Day has moved from a Proctor position to an ESP position; Mrs. Dowling has moved from a Health Proctor position to a Building Proctor position; We are welcoming Mrs. Sonnleitner as a new Special Education Teacher and Mrs. Morse as a new English Language Learner Teacher.  
Breakfast and Lunch are free for all students! For information click here! 
Arrival and dismissal are very busy around LaLiberte! If you plan to pick your child up from school, you will need a set of car tags with a number. We use this number to alert the staff inside that you are here and the children line up according to this order to make things move smoother. Please refer to the map: map.docx - Presentation (1).pdf 
ARRIVAL:  Arrival begins at 8:55. Please do not drop off any earlier as we do not have staff available to monitor students prior to this time. Please DO NOT drop off students in the upper parking lot to walk down alone. There are MANY cars and the chances of an accident are too great. If you’d like to PARK and WALK YOUR CHILD down to the back doors for arrival, you may do this! Multiple cars can unload at a time along the back wall- you don’t have to be right at the back door to unload! 
DISMISSAL: Some students are designated as “WALKING” students. These students gather in the cafeteria where we ensure that we have the entire list. The group does not leave until the list is checked so this can sometimes cause a delay in their timing! They are escorted to the basketball courts between Merrill and LaLiberte where they can walk home or meet up with an adult. If you have any concerns about your child being alone at this meeting location due to the adult being late, etc. please DO NOT designate them as a walking student. Our staff does not monitor who is meeting them as they have been identified as a student WALKING HOME. 
Another option is to have the adult walk down to our back door and meet the student there. This is often a faster way to pick your child up and MUCH SAFER!!
The third option is our rolling pick up! 
A reminder that arriving on the later side of arrival or dismissal means you will miss most (all even!!) of the traffic! Please do NOT line up early and leave your car running in the line! 
We look forward to our first week of school and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
