Information & Resources

Book Orders

Many teachers distribute book order forms to students allowing them to purchase books directly from publishers at reduced prices.  If you choose to participate, please write checks directly to the specific book company for the exact purchase amount. If you have questions about a book order, please contact your child’s teacher.

Free and Reduced Lunch

Children from households that meet certain federal income guidelines are eligible for either free or reduced meals.  Paper forms are available in the office, though the use of the online application is encouraged for a faster processing time.  The online application can be accessed by clicking here.

Husky High Five

Students learn best when they feel safe, and safety is best achieved when we explicitly teach and encourage positive behavior.  To accomplish this objective, we implement principles of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework.  PBIS principles are the driving force behind our Husky High 5 and our 3-step student and bystander response plans. 

Simple and straightforward, the Husky High 5 expectations apply to all situations and settings throughout the school, thus ensuring greater understanding and consistency in their implementation.  We believe that teaching expectations and recognizing students for their follow-through is a more successful approach than waiting for misbehaviors to occur before responding.

Psychological and Counseling Services

The purposes of housing or own psychological and counseling services in the school are to promote healthy attitudes and habits; identify social, emotional, behavioral, and learning needs; and help students in the educational setting.  

Available psychological services include:

• Evaluation of individual emotional and learning needs

• Counseling for students

• Social and friendship skill development

• Healthy life-style classroom instruction

• Referrals to other community services and resources

A parent-signed counseling form is required for a child to receive psychological services.  Contact the school for more information.

Resource Class

Our Resource program is designed to serve students who are identified as having specific behavioral and/or learning disabilities.  By working closely with a student’s parents and the regular classroom teacher, an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is tailored to meet the student’s specific needs.  The student may receive resource support in the regular classroom or in the resource room. Every three years, a re-evaluation process is completed to ascertain a student’s eligibility for continued resource support.

School Improvement Plan

The Liberty Hills Elementary School Improvement Plan is an annual plan designed to help teachers, parents and students understand what are greatest needs are and how we can improve in these areas.  Created and approved by the School Community Council, the current year's plan is always available on the school's SCC website.

School LAND Trust Program

The School LAND Trust Program, established by the legislature in 1999, distributes the “annual dividend” from the permanent State School Fund for all public schools in the state.  Each year the School Community Council and the principal work together to plan how to best spend this money. The school’s Improvement Plan outlines how our land trust allocation will be spent to improve student learning.  (See also School Improvement Plan).

School Nurse

The school nurse is the most appropriate health care provider in the school setting.  The purpose of the health program through an assigned registered nurse is to enhance the educational process by addressing health-related barriers to learning.  While we cannot put off every health-related incident in the school setting, there is much we can do to prevent problems through general health practices and education.  

Health education is an essential part of the school nurse’s role.  Activities of health education include maturation presentations, grooming and hygiene classes, vision screening, immunization follow-ups, and home visits.
