Spring is Upon Us with Great Things<br />
Still Expected to Come...Stay Tuned<br />
It’s hard to believe Spring Break is nearly upon us! This morning I had the opportunity to sit in<br />
with some classrooms and was inspired to see so many students working hard to start third<br />
trimester on the right foot, even with visions of Spring Break dancing in their heads!<br />
It’s this time of year, as we finish up Student Led Conferences and begin to talk about forecasting<br />
for next year, that we often engage in reflection about what’s gone well for us so far this<br />
year, what we’d like to work on for the remainder of the year, and we begin envisioning what<br />
next year might hold for us. There is still so much time to accomplish great things this year!<br />
Our teachers will be working hard this spring to help students accomplish the goals they’ve set<br />
for themselves for the third trimester. After Spring Break we’ll be engaged in forecasting. It’s a<br />
good time for families to talk about goals for next year. Students interested in pursuing Advanced<br />
Math or PreAP Language Arts next year will want to keep their ear to the ground for<br />
information about our changing process this year. During <strong>April</strong> information will become available<br />
about application for those programs. Pursuant with the direction of our school board,<br />
we’ll continue to reflect on how we help each student make academic progress, regardless of<br />
where they start again next year. Not knowing what the state budget holds for education, we’ll<br />
continue to plan on offering various enrichment options for students in the fall at Liberty, including<br />
the targeted math enrichment we instituted this year with great success. Stay tuned for<br />
more information about forecasting after Spring Break.<br />
We hope parents and community members will join Principal Boerke for a cup of coffee and<br />
conversation at the next “Perk with Boerke”, scheduled for <strong>April</strong> 21 st from 7:45-8:15 a.m. Topics<br />
are sure to include information about forecasting for next year, what to expect as we think<br />
about transitioning to next year, and as always, there will be time for any questions you have<br />
about Liberty!<br />
It’s with great anticipation that I look forward to the spring, even more so than usual, as I go on<br />
maternity leave so my family can welcome our new baby. One of my favorite parts of my job is<br />
seeing siblings come up through the years and enjoying the astounding differences we see between<br />
children in the same family. I look forward to meeting my family’s second child and seeing<br />
his or her unique personality develop. I know I’ll enjoy seeing how much your children have<br />
grown between now and next fall. Thank you for sharing your precious children with us. It’s a<br />
joy to work with them every day! Liberty is a very special place partly because of the way we<br />
really do cultivate a family feeling here. I’ll miss my Liberty family this spring, staff and students<br />
alike. In my time away from the lions, Associate Principal Julie Mueller will be available for students<br />
and parents full time and we anticipate a seamless transition.<br />
Happy spring! See you soon!<br />
