Schools to Watch Redesignation ​ ​Liberty Middle School was redesignated as a State and National School to Watch, for the 3rd time, this summer. The Schools to Watch "program identifies model middle-grades schools that are academically excellent, developmentally responsive, socially equitable, and have a culture of collaborative leadership." Some of our Liberty Middle School staff went to Washington DC, in June, and presented on Liberty's best practices, including new teacher support. Our Liberty staff work is committed to making sure our Liberty students and staff are learning and collaborating at high levels. The Liberty staff is humbled and honored to be recognized as a "Schools to Watch" and were able to network with other districts to replicate their practices to ensure Liberty is continually improving for the students that they serve. https://www.facebook.com/remscape/videos/460188709880030/
