Dear Parents,
It is so great to see the children of Legacy smiling their way through their school day. It is such a great honor to impact your children through education and character development. Fall is here and the weather is changing daily. Now is the time to make sure your children’s jackets and coats have a last name inside of them so that they can be returned easily during the school day.
Free Lunches: The US Department of Agriculture recently announced that they are extending their Free Meals for Kids program through the end of December 2020 or until available funding runs out. This means all students in the Elizabeth School District including Legacy Academy can access healthy lunch at school for no additional cost. Effective Wednesday, September 3, all students in the Elizabeth School District including Legacy Academy will receive free lunch, no matter the student’s prior free, reduced, or full pay eligibility. One free lunch per student per day will be served. If students want an additional lunch they will be charged for a second meal.
Please note: Households who have not yet applied for free or reduced meals for 2020-21 are encouraged to complete an application so eligible students will receive Free/Reduced meals AFTER December 2020, or when available funding runs out under the current guidance.
