The Titan Times

Even if the weather hasn't quite caught up, fall is officially in the air! Over the past few weeks, Friday Night Lights have brought our community together in the best way possible. Beyond the game itself, these Friday nights are a powerful display of student talent, from our athletes and musicians to our spirit squads and broadcasting crew. Watching our students and community stand united to support the Titans is incredible. I am deeply honored and proud to be part of this community

We also have two fantastic SRO's, Officer Iranfar and Officer Naro on the Legend Titan staff. We are thrilled to have them in our building supporting us.

This letter is to inform you that a certified service animal will be present in our school to assist one

of our students/staff members as an accommodation. The handler of the service animal is

protected under the ADA and has the right to be accompanied by the animal.

We kindly ask that you refrain from petting or touching the service animal, as it has specific tasks to

perform for its owner.

To ensure a smooth integration of the service animal into our school routines, we will be conducting

information sessions for all students and staff members. These sessions will provide guidance on

the proper procedures regarding the service animal.

Thank you for your understanding and support. Should you have any questions or concerns, please

do not hesitate to contact us.

Our school accountability meeting, meets monthly on the 2nd Wednesday. Please review our SAC Website if you have any questions or if you wish to attend.

Dear Parents and Families,

As we move into the fall, we want to highlight a critical date for our district: Thursday, October 1, 2026. Student count day is the official date each fall when Colorado school districts record their enrollment numbers, which the state then uses to calculate per-pupil funding for the year.

The state determines our funding based on three factors around this date: your student's active enrollment, their scheduled instructional time, and their daily attendance. To ensure our funding is accurate, the state evaluates attendance specifically on October 1st and during the standard two-week window encompassing the week before and the week after Count Day.

How you can help support our schools:

• Make Attendance a Priority: Please make every effort to ensure your student is present and engaged in their learning on Thursday, October 1st.

• Keep the Momentum: Consistent attendance throughout the entire two-week window surrounding Count Day is strongly encouraged to ensure accurate state reporting.

• Communicate Absences: We understand illnesses and emergencies happen. If your child is sick, please notify our attendance office right away. Proper documentation allows us to navigate state exceptions if a student must miss the exact count date.

We invite you to attend in-person Parent-Teacher Conferences on October 1st, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM in the gymnasium.

• Time Limit: To ensure every attending parent has the opportunity to speak with teachers, individual conversations are limited to 5 minutes.

• Extended Discussions: If a teacher feels a more detailed conversation is needed, they may reach out prior to the event to arrange additional time before the in-person meeting.

More information will be sent out when we get closer to the date.

Save the Date (Juniors and Selected Sophomores): Wednesday, October 7th, 2026. The PSAT/NMSQT provides valuable SAT practice, measures college readiness, and serves as the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program. All juniors have been registered for the PSAT/NMSQT, and a $20 assessment fee posted to their MySchoolBucks account unless the junior is successfully opted out here by 2:00pm on Monday, September 14th, 2026. Selected sophomores received an invitation by email on August 17th to participate in the upcoming PSAT/NMSQT; the sophomore may register through MySchoolBucks ($20 assessment fee) by 2:00pm on Monday, September 14th, 2026.

Action Required for Juniors and registered Sophomores: Students must complete the Student Device Information Form if they have not already done so. During homeroom on September 10th, devices will be checked for test-readiness. Please see the PSAT/NMSQT Family Letter for more information. Reminder: Deadline to opt-out a Junior from the PSAT/NMSQT is September 14th by 2:00pm. The special bell schedule for the week of October 5th is below:
