Liberty High School Class of 2022: 2018

December 5th Study Time

Students can work on assignments. Once again answer any questions students have about finals or class selection.

Link Crew members might be coming in to talk to the kids about the study night for finals week. Otherwise give the students time to study and answer any questions they might have about the final schedule or what those 3 days will look like. Let them know that Thursday and Friday are half days so have a ride arranged to leave if possible and they cannot leave until all finals are done.

The teacher/administrator survey link is provided here: www.BByt.es/VL9DT
Each teacher and administrator needs to complete this survey. Please reflect on practices you
use or may have used this year and celebrate the great work you do each day while taking this survey.

Please encourage students to read the survey closely and to take their time, this survey will help
them with the technology we provide in our classes. The survey will take some students a few
minutes and could take others 15-20 minutes. Classes need to stay quiet until each person has
finished the survey.

Please make sure and check that the students are done with the survey.

Advisors, please announce TODAY to all students that on Tuesday Oct. 30th students are to report to their Advisory to start the day.
