Happy Holidays!
’Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the school,
Students tackled midterms, determined to stay cool.
Notes were stacked high as studying filled every space,
While beanies were gifted to brighten each face.
Teachers, in holiday dress, brought cheer to the day,
With lunchroom karaoke helping stress melt away.
And echoing proudly through hallways once more,
Mr. Watson, on his bullhorn, did roar—
“Finish strong, Patriots—break is in sight!”
The halls finally quiet—to all a good night.
Happy holidays, from our Liberty family to yours. 🎄
✨ Shining Star of the Week ✨
🌟 Shining Star of the Week: Mrs. Marites Tapalla
This week, we are proud to recognize Mrs. Marites Tapalla, our Engineering teacher, as Liberty’s Shining Star of the Week. Mrs. Tapalla manages three different preps while consistently delivering engaging, project-based learning experiences in each course. Her dedication extends beyond the school day, as she regularly tutors students after school to support their growth and success.
Recently, her engineering design students completed an impressive 3-D modeling project, demonstrating both technical skill and creative problem-solving. Another class wrapped up a comprehensive business plan assignment, already inspiring a new wave of budding entrepreneurs and future vendors for the next Liberty Wall Street event.
Mrs. Tapalla exemplifies the care, commitment, and technical expertise that define exceptional teaching. Her ability to connect real-world applications to classroom learning creates meaningful, memorable experiences for her students and reflects the very best of Liberty’s STEM mission.
👏 Thank you, Mrs. Tapalla, for your passion, innovation, and unwavering dedication to our students!

🚨 Dress Code & Cellphone/Electronics/Headphone Policies 🚨
Patriots, we need your help! Dress code and cellphone use have become major concerns, and it’s important that we all work together to keep our campus safe, respectful, and focused.
Please take a moment to review the policies on page 14 of the Student Handbook (linked above). These guidelines are essential, especially when it comes to footwear, which is a significant safety issue.
Acceptable Footwear Includes:
Tennis Shoes / Sneakers
Dress Shoes
Boots
Any covered shoes
Liberty continues to offer one of the most flexible free-dress codes in the city, but that only works when everyone follows the expectations in place.
Cellphones, Electronics, and Headphones
We also need your support in ensuring students follow the rules regarding device usage. These policies help minimize distractions and maintain a positive learning environment for everyone.
Your cooperation makes a real difference. Thank you for supporting our school community and helping keep Liberty safe and focused!
Updated Organizational Chart and Contact List
Please review the two charts provided. They outline who to contact based on specific situations, helping us address concerns more efficiently and effectively.
Following this communication flow will ensure quicker resolutions and help everyone stay informed.
A tardy is recorded any time a student is not in class by its official start time (at the start of school and during regular class changes). Late arrivals to school by student drivers or carpool do count into a student's tardy record. Student tardies accumulate throughout the full semester and consequences begin after the 3rd tardy.
Carpool starts at 6:40! Parents are not allowed to drop off before this. Wait for Mr. Shoff to start releasing for Carpool. Also, parents are not allowed to go down the lane that is reserved for student parking as indicated by the green arrows. That lane is reserved for students so they can drive into the student parking lot to park. Also, going up Pickett to try to get into the parking lot is NOT allowed at any time.
At the end of the school day during carpool, we've noticed some parents parking on the grass along LEE Drive and having their children walk to their cars. This practice is not only against school policy but also poses significant safety risks. For the safety of all students and to ensure smooth traffic flow, please refrain from parking on the grass and use the designated carpool lanes. Your cooperation is crucial in keeping our school environment safe for everyone.
Check-in/Check Out Policy Reminders
Parents cannot email or call the office after dropping the student off late to school
Students will wait in TOR until a parent comes to sign them in.
Student drivers who arrive late may have a parent email the office. Student driver must have an approved parking contract on file.
Student drivers will have driving privileges suspended upon their 3rd late arrival in the semester.
