This school year we are unable to offer our Rise and Shine program due to a lack of staffing.  Because of this change and knowing the hardship it will take on several of our Liberty families, we will be changing arrival times. 

Students may arrive at school at 7:30. Supervision will be provided within the building from 7:30-8:00, then, starting at 8:00, students will be outside (weather permitting) for before school supervised recess.  Upon arrival, ALL students should enter through the front doors of the building.  Please remember, only supervisors are permitted on the playground and all visitors must check in at the office. 

School is dismissed at 3:05 and all students should depart immediately after school is dismissed. There is no supervision after school. To ensure the safety of all children, please make arrangements to have your child picked up promptly or know their specific after-school plan. Thank you for your cooperation.

If you are sending medication for your child to take at school, you must complete a Medication Administration Authorization form. This form is found on the Bismarck Public Schools website under Departments, Health Services, and then Medication on the left. We will also have these forms available in the office. All prescription and non-prescription medicine must arrive in its original container and be delivered to the  office by a parent/guardian. We will not accept any medication arriving in baggies, envelopes or other types of packaging.

USDA has ENDED the free meals waiver.  Students/families are responsible for purchasing meals by placing funds in your students' myPayments plus account.  Eligible families are still encouraged to apply for the Free and Reduced Meal Program. These applications greatly assist the district in receiving other federal funding, including Title I funding. 

Applications can be submitted in one of the following ways:

1. Click on this LINK to see directions on applying/paperwork.
2. Drop it off at your child’s school (M-F, starting the 1st Monday in August) 
3. Drop it off at the Hughes Administration Building at 806 N Washington St. (office hours are M-F from 7:30 am-4 pm)
4. Mail to: BPS Child Nutrition Dept., 806 N. Washington Street, Bismarck, ND 58501.

Through federal education law, parents have the right to request information on the professional qualifications of the teachers and paraprofessionals at our school.  If you are interested in learning this information, please contact the school administration office at (701) 323-4320.  Upon this request, you will receive a detailed explanation of the licensing, education and experience of each of our teachers.  You will also receive information regarding the names and qualifications of the paraprofessionals at our school.
