How does Liberty address student discipline and behavior?
What is a BIP?
A BIP stands for Behavior Improvement Paper. It's a notice that a student's behavior needs to improve. In elementary grades, students write about how they will change their behavior. Middle school students are encouraged to reflect on their behavior as well, but it’s not required.
Why do students receive a BIP?
Common reasons for a BIP include missing homework, dress code violations, tardiness, food or gum in class, passing notes, horseplay, disruptive behavior, or disrespect.
Why are BIPs given?
BIPs are used to inform parents about student behavior. We want parents to know if their child is misbehaving or falling behind in schoolwork so we can work together to address it.
What happens after a BIP?
For a single BIP, there are no direct consequences at school. The paper is just a warning. However, parents are encouraged to have their own consequences at home that can support the school and help students improve their behavior.
What happens after multiple BIPs?
After the third BIP, an office referral is issued and consequences are determined by an administrator.
What’s the difference between a BIP and a referral?
A referral is for more serious violations of school rules. It involves meeting with an administrator and often results in disciplinary consequences.
When should BIPs be returned, and what happens if they're not?
The white (top) copy of the BIP should be signed and returned the next school day. If not returned, the parent will be contacted. If still not returned, a referral will be issued.
What if a student disagrees with the BIP?
Students should remain respectful and use the space on the BIP to explain their side of the situation. If they believe there’s a misunderstanding, they should talk privately with the staff member who gave the BIP.
What if a parent disagrees with the BIP?
Parents should contact the staff member directly via email or phone to discuss concerns. Writing on the BIP can create misunderstandings. If needed, contact the administrator after discussing the issue with the staff member.

What safety measures are in place at Liberty Traditional School?
At Liberty Traditional School, the safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. We have several safety measures in place to ensure a secure learning environment. One of the key safety features is the presence of a School Resource Officer (SRO) through a federal grant. The SRO plays an important role in maintaining a safe campus and is available to respond to any concerns or emergencies.
Additionally, many of our staff members are trained in Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI), which equips them with the skills to manage and de-escalate potentially challenging situations. These proactive measures, along with our commitment to maintaining a welcoming, respectful environment, help ensure that students are safe and supported throughout their school day.
