Back to School Newsletter 26-27!

We're looking forward to a great testing day on Friday, October 23! Testing will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and finish by lunch. All secondary students will be testing that morning!

All students are already signed up, and Legacy is covering the cost, so you don't need to do anything.

One important note: if a student misses testing that day, no makeup tests will be offered. Please do everything you can to have your student here on test day.

Thank you for partnering with us as we help your students do their best.

Students are permitted to wear athletic shorts on official dress-up days. They do not have to wear their phalanx shirt on the phalanx color wars, but will need to wear their phalanx color. Any student not dressing up must be in uniform.

Hallway Decorating Days:

For hallway decorating, students have a few options depending on their planned activities:

• Athletic shorts (for students painting/ prepping)

• Friday dress

• Old clothes (highly recommended for students who will be painting)

  
  

Shorts & Shirt Guidelines:

Please ensure your student's attire adheres to the following guidelines:

• Length: Shorts must be at least fingertip length when arms are fully extended at the sides.

• Proportion: Shirts must not be longer than the shorts (shorts must be clearly visible beneath the shirt).

Enjoy our very first Sports Program, now being launched seasonally! Purchases can be made through Hometown Ticketing and picked up from Mrs. Jackie Livingston during the HOCO Gumbo Dinner, Bonfire, and at the HOCO Game gate!

Parents that want to volunteer to chaperone the Homecoming Dance/Dinner can sign up by using the SignUp Genius below. Only approved parent volunteers are allowed to sign up.

Internship Agreement Forms are due October 14.

These are different from parent permission forms.

Fees for classes will be automatically charged to your blackbaud account around December 1.

PLEASE know, we are no longer accepting cash or check payments.

ALL Interim Term Fees will be withdrawn from your Blackbaud Tuition Account around December 1st. No other payments before then are necessary.

It's that time to start preparing for the YMBL State Fair Contests! If any students are interested in participating in the Art, Photography, Quilting, or Baking Contests, please get in touch with Mrs. Duhon at mduhon@legacychristianacademy.org for more information.

Art, Photography, and Quilting Submissions are due by February 5th, 2027 to Mrs. Duhon.

Parents and students, please join our Middle School and High School Athletics Google Albums!

These albums are a great place to share:

• Short videos
• Practice photos
• Game action shots
• Team pictures
• Fun candid moments

Photos and videos shared in the albums may be used on Legacy Athletics social media, the Legacy website, or in school publications. Please be mindful of what you upload and make sure photos are appropriate and ready to be shared.

We will also use photos from these albums to create our end-of-the-year Athletic Banquet slideshow, so please help us capture the season!

All secondary students are required to have 20 service hours each school year. You are encouraged to turn in all of your summer hours now to get a head start toward your goal.

If you are a student driver, please ensure that you have a completed motor vehicle form submitted to the office, along with a copy of your driver's license and proof of insurance. A new form is required each school year.

Many families in our area — including a number of current Legacy families — were awarded TEFA funds for this school year. The TEFA funds are a great opportunity to help offset tuition costs, and we don't want any family to miss out simply because they weren't aware or didn't apply previously. If you did not apply or are on the waitlist, we strongly encourage you to submit the interest form. The interest form will be useful as the Texas Legislature contemplates increasing funding for the TEFA program. After completing the form, you will also be added to their mailing list for any updates and information on the program.

• Some items will be in stock, while others will need to be ordered, so everyone is encouraged to purchase in June.
• Khaki pants or shorts may be purchased at other locations in the "khaki" color
