Greetings, Jets.
Last week our students took the PMAs for Civics, Science, Algebra, and Geometry. They worked hard and stayed focused throughout the assessments, and we are proud of the effort they put into demonstrating what they’ve learned. Results will help us identify strengths and areas where additional support may be helpful as we prepare for a strong finish to the school year.
This Thursday, our students and staff will take part in the Legacy World Showcase and our Spring Pep Rally. Many students and staff members will present cultural displays, food, activities, and music representing a variety of countries. To end the day, students will enjoy the pep rally, where several staff members will face off against the student basketball teams. If you would like to pre-pay for your student to enjoy Kona Ice before the Pep Rally, please refer to the flyer below.
Parents, if you're available on Thursday, please consider spending the day with us and being apart of our events! You must be ADDitions approved.
We need your help with an accurate lunch count for this Thursday. Please complete the form below to let us know whether your child will be attending school the day before Spring Break. Your response is greatly appreciated!
Reminder that students who ride bikes and scooters to and from Legacy need to wear a helmet. This is state law for anyone under the age of 16.
We hope you enjoy a relaxing and fun Spring Break! Take this time to rest, recharge, and make great memories. We look forward to welcoming you back when school resumes.

The PTSA is excited about the possibility of increased enrollment at Legacy Middle School next year. More students help the school by increasing funding through higher enrollment, availability of more staff and teaching positions, enabling a more diverse, vibrant, and collaborative learning community. Increased attendance and participation in school activities foster a better, more engaging environment, allowing for enhanced extracurriculars, improved social skill, development, and greater community impact. |
We had an amazing time hosting the Winter Wonderland Dance last Friday. We hope the students enjoyed it and can't wait to host another next year. |
If you are interested in being a chaperone on a field trip, helping out in a classroom, or assisting with a schoolwide event, please sign up for or renew your Additions Volunteer account.
