This Thursday, August 24th, we will conduct a Lockdown and Fire Drill. All staff were trained in our safety procedures at back to school meetings. This drill will provide staff and students an opportunity to practice our procedures. To reduce the impact on instructional time we will be on a 2nd Period Activity Schedule. In conjunction with other school districts and law enforcement agencies in Kern County, the Kern High School District uses a uniform, planned, and practiced standard response protocol (SRP).

All 9th-11th grade students, in a PE class, will take their school yearbook photo tomorrow during PE. No paperwork is needed. Students not in PE will take their school picture at a future date to be determined.

Each Monday, 7th period ends at 2:23pm. Teachers use this time to collaborate with members of their department and colleagues who teach the same course. This allows teachers to work together in building quality curriculum, designing effective lessons, reviewing common assessments, and ensuring authentic literacy is integrated into each course.

Students start dressing out for PE on Friday. There are multiple opportunities to purchase PE clothes this week with cash or check.

Liberty has eight bus routes for students who live more than two miles from the school. The bus route master with scheduled stop times can be found under the resources tab on our website or the Kern High website.

The 2023-2024 bell schedule is the same as last year and can be found on our website under “Resources” or in this news story. School starts every day at 8:30am. On most days school ends at 3:23. However, every Monday is a 1-hour early out and we have a few other 2-hour holiday early outs before Thanksgiving break, Spring break, and Memorial Day weekend. In addition, we have six days of finals, three each semester, where school ends early each day.

Student schedules were likely adjusted since schedules went live last week due to additional class sections added to the school-wide master schedule. Students need to check their class schedule prior to reporting to 1st period on Wednesday.
