Legacy Ledger

The halls were ECHOING with excitement during Back to School Night! The laughter of our children filled our building as our Wildcats learned locker combinations, visited their classrooms, met their teachers, and reconnected with friends.

The energy is back. The excitement is here and we are ready to ROAR! 🐾 Let’s make this year one filled with community, character & excellence! Welcome back, Wildcats! 🐾 We missed you!

As we prepare for another amazing year at Legacy, PTCO would like to provide our staff with a back to school breakfast tomorrow. If you would like to prepare a casserole or provide another breakfast item please sign up below. We are grateful for your donations.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible PTCO volunteers and board members who give their selfless time, endless energy, and countless hours to make a difference for our students. The back to school photo booth and Spirit Store were a huge success.

Thank you to:

Danielle Griffith- President

Calla Walker- Vice President

Laura Ensign- Secretary

Student Volunteers- Xander Decker and Palmer Walker

Cry or celebrate your student(s) entry or return to school on August 12th at 7:30am. Refreshments will be served, and Kleenex will be provided! This event is for parents and children who are not of school age. Enrolled children should go to their classrooms before parents come to this event.

Parents! Please use the link below to read the 2026/27 Parent & Student Handbook. When you are done reading the handbook, please use the next link to sign the Handbook Agreement Form. It's going to be a great year!

Legacy Academy uses two secure programs that require parents to set up passwords. Finalsite (formerly SchoolAdmin) allows parents to register and submit the needed information. Infinite Campus stores student information including grades, attendance, and assignments. Mrs. Siefers will set up your access for Infinite Campus, but you must email her at leslie.siefers@legacyk8.org.

You are not obligated to purchase school uniforms from any specific store, as long as they meet the same standards as those shown on Educational Outfitters' website at educationaloutfitters.com (make sure you are looking under Legacy Academy). Please review dress code guidelines before purchasing uniforms. Children are allowed to wear a navy, gray, or royal blue hoodie/zip sweatshirt if you do not want to purchase one with our logo. The items you buy from Royal B Threads will be sent directly to Legacy Academy and delivered to your student in August. Elizabeth Walmart carries our uniforms, but could have some in inventory that differ from our approved items. Please label EVERYTHING with your name in case it is misplaced.

6th grade students will have an orientation from 2-3pm on Friday, August 7th. Students are required to wear their school uniform and bring the necessary school supplies. Pre-ordered school supply kits will be handed out to students in their classrooms. 6th grade parents will need to park and walk students to the gym, where they will stay for a 45-minute orientation. Additionally, every 6th grade student is invited to participate in a science-based outdoor adventure trip at the YMCA in Estes Park, Colorado September 28-30th. Email jen.zander@legacyk8.org with questions.

Legacy Academy will offer free lunches for all students. Please remember that hot lunches must be ordered by 8:15am. If your student will be arriving after that time, you must call the office (before 8:15am) to request one. If this deadline passes, you will be asked to provide a cold lunch for your child. You can view school lunch menus on our website. If you would like your child to have milk with their cold lunch, there is a charge of $ 0.75. You can pay by check, cash, or through our online payment method. Please write checks to Elizabeth Food Service; cash must be in an envelope. We will need your student's first and last name, as well as their teacher's name, on the check memo or envelope.

Legacy Academy is excited to participate in the Healthy School Meals for All program, which Colorado voters approved. All students will have access to free, healthy, nutritious school meals in the 2026-2027 school year. Here is additional information and a few important reminders about what this means for our school and families.

• While meals will be free to all Legacy Academy students, we need to continue gathering this information to receive full access to available federal funds that support nutritional programs at our school. We ask all Legacy Academy families to complete the Household Application for Free and Reduced-Priced Lunches. Families who fill out the form may also qualify to receive discounted school fees, class materials, bus passes, utility support, and more. This form provides all household income information, which is strictly confidential and legally protected. Only one form is required for all children in the household. Immigration, migrant, citizenship, or refugee status is not required when completing the form.

If you have questions about completing the Household Application for Free and Reduced-Price Lunches, please contact the Elizabeth School District's nutrition department at tmaher@esdk12.org or 303-646-1850.

Learn more about the Healthy School Meals for All program in this short video. To enter information for your online Free and Reduced Application, you must create an account with PaySchools (link below) using your student's School ID number. To get their ID number, call the office on Tuesdays between 9am-1pm to request it or wait until the office staff returns on August 3rd. You only need to submit one application per household.
