National School of Choice Week Monday, January 23 ~ Friday, January 27

National School Choice Week provides an unprecedented opportunity every January to shine a positive spotlight on the need for effective education options for all children. Independently planned by a diverse and growing coalition of individuals, schools, and organizations, National School Choice Week features thousands of unique events and activities across the country. The week allows participants to advance their own messages of educational opportunity while uniting with like-minded groups and individuals across the country.

Participants in National School Choice believe that parents should be empowered to choose the best educational environments for their children. Supporters plan events that highlight a variety of school choice options — from traditional public schools to public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online learning, and homeschooling. National School Choice Week is a nonpartisan, nonpolitical public awareness effort. We welcome all Americans to get involved and have their voices heard!

We have a new uniform provider for our families: Educational Outfitters http://denver.educationaloutfitters.com/find-my-school/legacy-academy/

Middle School and fifth-grade students will soon be able to wear jeans every Friday as long as they wear a logo shirt from a Legacy Academy sponsored club, sports team or if they purchase a Legacy Academy polo with an embroidered Legacy Academy logo. These can be purchased through Educational Outfitters or your student may get an order form at the office. Jeans may be worn with one of these shirts every Friday throughout the school year, but the shirts MUST be acquired through the Legacy Academy office (from Educational Outfitters).

December 16, 2016.  Any lost and found items that have not been claimed before the end of the day on 12/16/16 will be donated to a charitable organization. Please mark your student’s name on their belongings!

Thanks to ALL that have contributed to the great start of this amazing program!  One dad says, “I will be signing up to do this again in the near future.” 

The spring kick-off, Donuts for Dad, will be January 12th at 7AM.  RSVP at www.SignUpGenius.com/go/4090B4AAEAF2DA3FA7-donuts.

Parent Survey

Dear Parents,

The Legacy Academy Board of Directors has recently sent a survey to all Legacy parents. Results from this survey go directly to the Legacy Academy Board of Directors, which is comprised of parent volunteers. The Board uses your feedback to ensure that the Vision and Mission of the School are in line with the desires of our families. As a Charter School, we are a school of choice and the Legacy Academy Board of Directors continually strives to make Legacy Academy the best possible choice for your students. We value your input and look forward to hearing from you. Your input is kept confidential.
