ELPAC will be administered to CVESD students from February 5 through April 12, 2024. As testing begins, we encourage parents and guardians to support their children during the testing period by preparing for the ELPAC. Here are some ways you can help support your child:
Ensure your child attends school and arrives on time.
Make sure your child gets to bed early and gets a good night’s sleep.
Feed your child a healthy breakfast before dropping them off at school.
Encourage your child to do their best and remind them that their test performance does not solely determine their academic progress.
By leveraging the insights gained from the test, we can continue to strive towards providing high-quality education for all students and ensuring they are prepared for the 21st century and beyond.

Hello Liberty Parents and Families!
Like many of you, I am amazed by how quickly our first quarter has passed! In this short time I have learned so much about our school and community. Each day I have the privilege of connecting with our students, staff, parents and families. We truly have an amazing community! Together, we have continued our collective efforts as a community to provide awesome opportunities and experiences to support our amazing students.
In the spirit of support, one of our fifth-grade students is dealing with a health challenge at our school site. I want you to know that Liberty is doing everything we can to support the student and family. We’ve already had opportunities for students to support our Liberty family during an information session in the student's class, and we are working on other ways to ensure we continue to help throughout the student’s health journey. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact me directly.
We continue to have many more things in store for our students as we commence Quarter 2.
I am excited for and look forward to our continued work together to support our students!
I wish you a restful Fall Break!
With gratitude,
~ Ms. Dougherty

Dear Families,
As of today, we are halfway through our Apex leadership habits! We learned all about habit #3 in our mission to find the POWER to make the world a better place. Our 3rd lesson is OPTIMISTIC! The Apex Team told us that to be OPTIMISTIC means we’re leaders that are hopeful! It means we’re confident in a positive outcome no matter the situation!. Today, we challenge ourselves by chanting:
“Rain or shine, The choice is mine!”
Hey true leaders are OPTIMISTIC. Check out today's theme video.
*Important note: Pledges must be entered online to count towards our class total, so please be sure to log them at www.myapexevent.com. The best way to get pledges is to send out shares. Once you login click the “SHARE” button and send as many shares as you can using text, email, twitter or facebook. The goal is for every student to send out at least 10 shares.

Last night's Challenge winner was Coach Ugarte's Class! Great job! Your class wins GAME TIME with The Apex Team! We will reach out to schedule your award.

Build Good Attendance Habits Early
DID YOU KNOW...
Starting in preschool and kindergarten too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school
Missing 10% or about 2 days each month over the course the school year can make it harder to learn to read
Students can still fall behind if they miss just 1or 2 days every few weeks
Being late to school can lead to poor attendance
