A high school scheduling committee has been chartered and tasked with developing and recommending a common schedule for all comprehensive high schools in the Issaquah School District. Skyline and Issaquah high schools currently have a 6 period day schedule, with an optional "0" (zero) period (before school). Liberty currently has an 8 period "Block A/B Schedule." The district is looking at several schedule change options including adding a 7th period to Skyline and Issaquah High, the possibility of having Liberty move from an 8 period to a 7 period day, or possible all high schools move to a 7 or 8 period block schedule. The final recommendation and report of this committee will be provided to the Superintendent, Ron Thiele, by Wednesday, November 21. 

The committee will meet Oct. 29 and Nov. 13th. These are public meetings, all are welcome to attend and listen to discussion, but there is no public comment time at these meetings.

Do you have an opinion on your Liberty 8 Block Schedule? Do you want to keep it or make changes? This is YOUR CHANCE TO LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD and help influence the decision that will affect Liberty starting NEXT YEAR!

Public Comment & Discussion Meeting will be October 25th 6:30-8pm. There will be roundtables and discussion sessions in small groups to collect input. More info to come from the district about these meetings. Please attend to share your opinion and take place in the discussion.

You can also submit questions or comments by emailing your information to:  HSSchedule@issaquah.wednet.edu

Hey Patriots! Have you joined PTSA?  Please double-check!

Recently, PTSA has been receiving emails asking about volunteering, etc. by people who thought they had joined this year. Some of our "usual" members may have missed the opportunity to join, because the district moved the "JOIN YOUR PTSA" box to the bottom of their online checkin page (in an effort to make the registration process easier for parents/guardians to navigate during registration.)  As a result, some of our loyal members may have missed the opportunity to join.

If you have not received our PTSA Enews, any volunteering reminders, etc. from Liberty High PTSA, it is becuase you are not in this year's database - because you have not joined. That is easy to remedy - just JOIN PTSA above today. We are grateful for your support and your membership!!!

Because of your membership and donations, we are able to award classroom grants throughout the year! Here are a few examples of grants awarded last year: Webassign Online Homework System for Physics; Marching Band workshop support for Middle/High School students; Tea Experience Educational Experience for 10th Grade History Students; Art Department support; AP Calculus and AP Solutions Manuals; Band and Orchestra Professional Musicians in the Classroom...just to name a few! PTSA also supports Outreach programs for our students and families in need here at Liberty. Last Spring Liberty PTSA worked with the Nick of Time Foundation to provide heart screenings for almost 300 students and purchased an additional AED machine for Liberty High. 

Corporate Matching?? Please utilize this program for Liberty PTSA. Those matching dollars make a HUGE difference to our budget during the year! 

Please help us to continue our efforts to provide items throughout the year to enrich our students' educational experience here at Liberty. Your membership and donations make a difference!  Thank you for your support!
