Dear Liberty Community, 

Welcome Back, Tigers!

We are starting this year off as an OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE SCHOOL!  I cannot say enough about how proud I am of everyone's efforts and support to help us meet this important benchmark. When you enter our doors, my hope is that you see and hear how special our school is and how much of our student's are truly a part of making Liberty a welcoming learning enviornment. Our theme is year plays off our newly acquired IB status and it is IBelong.

Here are some of the great things that can be seen at Liberty.
We are proud of our new school and the opportunities we will provide students to meet their learning levels and needs. All Kindergarten through 6th-grade students actively participate in developing and understanding the IB learning approach as we continue our journey as an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program school.

Our teachers and staff are ready to have our tigers return. There is an excitment in the air about what  the future holds for our students and what we will accomplish togther this year. We are focusing on building early literacy skills in our kinder through 3rd grade students  and expanding writing and communcation skills in our 4th- 6th grade students, we welcome the support of families to grow that love of reading, writing, and inquiring into the world around them. As an IB school our student all have access to this advanced learning opportunity and we want to see our students grow and expand their learning and increase their readiness to access an even more rigorous and indepth learning framework through our Advanced Learning Academy at Liberty.

As always we will meet this our school's mission goal by committing to offer high-quality, inquiry-based learning through IB and the Advanced Learning Academy for learners who are looking for more in-depth challenges. Knowledge will extend from core subjects and integrate enrichment opportunities, including world language and culture, music, art, physical education, and library and research. Whichever option is best for your child, both rigorous learning approaches incorporate transdisciplinary units aligned with our Utah Core Standards allowing students to make global connections. 

Liberty learners will continue to develop attributes of Knowledgeable, Courageous, Inquirer, Balanced, Principled, Reflective, Caring, Communicator, Thinker, and Open-minded. In addition, they will internalize and exhibit IB attributes at school, home, and in their community. 

Let's do this!.

Sincerely,

Keeli Espinoza
