All families are required to update their enrollment information annually in Final Forms. Your 2024-2025 information does NOT make you compliant for 2025-2026.
Incomplete forms can lead to missed opportunities and communication issues for your child with their school.
Currently,
- 62.6% of students in PK-2 are compliant for the 2025-2026 school year.
- 52.8% of students in grades 3-6 are compliant for the 2025-2026 school year.
- 12.3% of students in grades 7-12 are compliant for the 2025-2026 school year.
All families must log in to Final Forms to verify their registration for the 2025-2026 school year for each student. This includes obtaining signatures from both students and families for specific documents.
Please visit https://liberty-oh.finalforms.com/ to verify your information is current.

I found out from Mr. Yemma and Mr. Stowell that a pair of maroon sneakers were taken over the weekend. Again, our guest is very clever at dodging the cameras. This was the only evidence we could capture. Yes. It was found upside down.

Last night, our security cameras captured a quick image of this furry guy running around the district office. It's not the best photo, but it's something. He seems very friendly and a BIG supporter of Liberty, but he's also a little mischievous. He left a note in my office that said, "It's going to be a great school year! I will see you all soon...Go Leopards!" Updates forthcoming.

On Thursday, August 14, our district will transition to our new phone system. There may be limited interruptions between 1:00 and 2:00 as we complete the process.
