YMCA – Review the Y Procedures
1. Must have a note on file.
2. Must be escorted
3. You may not return to Liberty to ride the activity bus.
YMCA
If you are planning to go to the Y after school, please pay attention to the following rules.
- Parental permission will be required. Students, who want to attend, must have a note from a parent. The note must be turned into the office by 1:00 PM on the day the student is requesting to attend.
- You must be a member of the YMCA to attend.
- The crossing guard will check students off a list prior to escorting them across the street. Students who are not on the approved list will not be allowed to cross to the YMCA.
- Students are not allowed to return to Liberty Middle School when they are finished at the YMCA. They may not come back to ride the 4:30 or 5:30 Activity busses. It will be your parent’s responsibility to provide transportation from the YMCA.
The YMCA will provide a great opportunity for you; however, I am very concerned about the safety of all of our students as they cross the street to attend the Y. These guidelines will be strictly enforced to ensure that all students can safely cross Goshen Road.
