Summer's Here!

It has been a pleasure working with the 7th and 8th grade students this year.  I have enjoyed watching them learn and grow throughout the year, and I am proud of their accomplishments! 

A big congratulations to those students who made it through Algebra 1.  These students put in a lot of time and energy this year, and it will pay off in high school.  

Students, remember to keep your mind moving this summer. Read, practice your math facts, look up educational games online....here are a few good websites to get you started:

Please feel free to contact me via email if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to tell me about your life! 

Enjoy your summer break,

Miss Vogt

2nd Semester Reminders

It's hard to believe that the school year is already halfway over!  This semester is full of field trips, testing, and increased responsibility.  Here are a few reminders to help you be successful:


Come to class prepared every day!  
**The middle school students are doing a great job of turning in their math homework on time.  Keep it up!
**Math work must be done in pencil.  If you need to purchase a box of pencils to keep at your house, please do so.


Eligibility for the 3rd Quarter field trip requires:
**A passing a grade in all classes
**Less than 9 initials on third quarter accountability cards


Gum is not allowed at school!
**Be a good role model for the younger students at Liberty by following this rule.


Keep asking for help and retaking tests!
**All of your teachers are here to help you.  Get help when you need it and fix those failing test scores!
