Welcome back, Legacy Campus students—and Happy New Year! 🎉

We hope you had a restful break and are ready to jump into an exciting second semester. We’re also thrilled to welcome our new students joining the Legacy Campus community this semester—we’re so glad you’re here!

As we kick off the new year, please be sure to read the information below carefully. It includes important details about the spring semester, as well as student applications for the 2026–2027 school year, which will open on January 16th. Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself or helping spread the word to others who may be interested in Legacy Campus, this information is important.

Let’s make 2026 a strong finish and an even stronger start ahead! 💚🤎

Our 2nd year Aviation Students had the opportunity to visit Hotel Polaris at the Air Force Academy in December. This was a great exposure trip where students were able to apply what they’ve learned in the Legacy Aviation Program to more complex aircraft systems.

Students were able to fly the Hotel Polaris’ F-16 and 737 MAX simulators giving them the opportunity to put their skills to the test.

Congratulations to our Fall CNA Students for completing their certification through ACC and sitting for their Colorado Certified Nurse Aide Exam.

We'd also like to welcome our Spring CNA students beginning with us this semester!

Check out the new menu starting January 12th in the Legacy Marketplace. Our culinary students are creating some fun new additions to the offerings including an italian sandwich, breakfast bagel sandwich, turkey melt and more! The Marketplace is open Monday-Thursday from 7:30am-1:30am

We do not have school Monday the 5th, or Monday the 19th, so high schools will be running the block periods 1-4 on Fridays these weeks, and classes will be held in-person at the DCSD Legacy Campus. This change from Monday to Friday occurs three times in the spring semester. Please consult our calendar if you have any questions. All high schools have made this shift according to the coordinated high school schedule, so your student should not be missing any other classes. We will have van transportation running routes on these days.

Legacy Marketplace will not be open on Fridays, so please plan ahead for lunch and/or snacks.

Course fees for spring semester classes will be posted to students' MySchoolBucks Accounts later this week. If you have questions, please contact our bookkeeper at 303-387-7817.

Reminder to students, when you are at the DCSD Legacy Campus, you need to wear your school IDs and Legacy lanyards as a part of our security protocol. Please have them on BEFORE you enter the front door to make entry as efficient as possible.

If you have misplaced yours, please purchase a new one for $5 from the admin desk.

• If/when a student is going to miss class at the Legacy Campus, parents/guardians must call Legacy Campus at 303-387-7803 to excuse them from Legacy classes in addition to calling the student’s primary high school.

• This is also applicable when a student might miss for a school-related absence such as clubs, activities, athletics, and field trips. We are not informed by high schools or coaches.

• Excused absences require a parent/guardian call within 48 hours. Parents/Guardians ONLY may call the attendance line. Students (even after turning 18yrs old) are NOT permitted to call themselves out.

• Please do NOT call the college associated with your student's pathway regarding attendance. It is only handled by DCSD Legacy Campus Staff. Thank you.

Second Year Students staying in the same Pathway will receive their applications directly from the teacher.

First Year Students or New Pathway - Steps to Apply:

Prior to registering, do your homework…

Read through this guide, check out the FAQ on our website, attend a tour.

• Meet with your primary high school counselor to discuss your interest in a Legacy Campus pathway.
• Request the courses you desire through Infinite Campus. This will be done as a part of your normal high school registration for next year’s classes. You will need to search through the list of offerings and select the appropriate Legacy pathway title placeholder and add it to your requests. Full directions with step-by-step screenshots will be available on the Legacy Campus website in January. Deadline to request pathway in IC is Friday, February 6, 2026.
• You’re not done yet! Important! In addition to your pathway request in IC, ALL Legacy Campus classes require an application that is specific to the pathway you choose. These will be available starting January 16th. Go to our website at www.legacycampus.org and complete a student application for the specific pathway you are requesting. All applications are due by Friday, February 27, 2026.
• Your primary high school counselor will complete a recommendation form to verify your eligibility. Please let them know you’ve applied.
• Spots are not guaranteed. Some pathways will have a waitlist. Once accepted, your Legacy counselor will place you on a roster. At that point, it’s official! We will email all students a congratulatory email once we’ve rostered you.
• There will be a mandatory orientation night in late April where you will sign up for your college credit and make sure you have all the necessary information for next year’s classes (textbooks, uniforms, etc.).
• Classes begin at the start of the school year in alignment with your primary high school start dates. Our full calendar will be posted online.
• Attend the DCSD Legacy Campus Check-In in August and look for emails from your teacher with important information.

For more information, details, and resources, please utilize www.LegacyCampus.org.

As the cold weather moves in we have an increased chance of a 90-minute delayed start. Please be aware of the following schedules that we will follow if DCSD calls for a delay. Since classes are held in a DCSD building, please disregard any notifications you may get of college/university closures that will not affect our schedule. For more information visit LegacyCampus.org

Club meeting dates and times are posted on the Legacy Campus website. Visit the calendar HERE for the most up to date information.
