Great work Liberty Tigers!!! We just completed our unannounced fire drill with the Bourbonnais Fire Department. Our students and staff were "unbelievable" as described by Bourbonnais FD. Everyone was clear of the building quickly, and fully accounted for shortly after. Conducting these drills helps ensure we are prepared should a real emergency arise. Taking them seriously is important for Liberty students and staff.
All Clear. The Phones are back up in the district.
Due to a server issue the phones are currently down in the district. Our emails and internet are available for regular contact. If you have an emergency and need to contact your students school or transportation department, please contact our emergency line at *redacted*. Thank you for your understanding.
Good Evening,
Transportation Assignments are now available in Skyward. When you log in, you will see a Transportation Tile on the home dashboard. If you do not see your tiles, ensure you are under the family access area ( look for the drop-down arrow in the top left, next to the house icon).
Based on the uncertainty of all the adjustments that will occur prior to the start of school, please check back on your Transportation assignment on Tuesday, August 20, for possible time changes to your schedule.
If you have any questions, please email Transportation@besd53.org
Thank you,
BESD53 Families,
Schedules are now live in Skyward. Please be advised that bus routing information continues to be entered and updated. Up until the night before school, this should be checked for accurate times. If you do not see any bus routes, please check again on Friday Afternoon; the Transportation Department is continuing to update and enter these.
Thank you to all families that have completed the registration process for the 24-25 school year. If you have not yet proven residency and completed registration for the school year, please contact (815-929-5000) the Liberty office immediately. Student schedules will be released next Wednesday and if you are not registered by then, your student account will become inactive in Skyward. Any student not registered by August 16th will not be eligible to start school on the first day as they will not have any teacher assignments or a schedule. School offices will not be available to register students between August 19th-21st. Late registrations will resume on August 22nd.
BESD53 will participate in the Free Summer Meals Program again this year. This program is open to all kids 18 or younger in Kankakee County. Breakfast and Lunch will be served Monday through Friday, June 4 - June 28th at Alan Shepard and July 1 - August 16th at the Upper Grade Center. Please see the Flyer for further details!

Liberty Parents/Guardians:
Please check your email for an important reminder about IAR testing next week.
Good morning,
Liberty students and staff will not be viewing the eclipse collectively as a building. There may be some individual classes throughout the district that have elected to do so, which requires a written permission slip to be signed by parents. The eclipse timeframe is between 12:50-3:21pm. Please remind your children not to look directly at the sun when we are dismissing at the end of the day. We will be making an announcement here at school stating this as well.
We understand that parents may also want to take additional precautions and keep their child at home. Please call the office and notify our secretaries of the absence.
