Legacy Ledger

Legacy Academy held its first pep rally of the year this week as students and staff filled the gymnasium. Donning their matching Legacy Academy ethos (Character Community Excellence) shirts, they celebrated school spirit, competed in challenges, and danced their way back to class. The Legacy community is excited that the 2026-2027 school year is officially underway and is looking forward to what’s to come.

When may students wear their black ethos shirts?

Students may wear their ethos shirt on Fridays with a Legacy uniform bottom. We will also wear them on some spirit days, (this will be communicated with parents beforehand) and they may wear them on free dress days as well.

Character Shirts

This year, both middle school (TWIX) and elementary students ("Paws"itivity) will be able to earn gray character education shirts with character traits listed on the back. Character Students are selected monthly by their teachers for consistently demonstrating character traits from the character education program.

When may students wear their gray character shirts?

As a result of character shirts being earned by students, character shirts earned from the current year AND from previous years (with R.O.A.R. on the back) may be worn any day with approved uniform bottoms.

We want to commend those parents who have been able to arrive to carpool a bit later. It has really helped keep traffic off the highway and we are getting through pick up quicker as well. The school board would also like to ask parents to not park in our auxiliary lot to pick up students. They are concerned about the foot traffic crossing the street and the danger that it creates.

If you are emailing the front office instead of calling the main number please contact us using the main email address at office@legacyk8.org to ensure a quicker response.

LABEL EVERYTHING! We have clothes racks and tables that you can look through at the entrance of the building. We will return labeled items to students. We donate items periodically during the 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.

Looking for a way to show your school spirit? Show your Wildcat pride by donating $10 (will count for DOUBLE volunteer hours) and putting a sign in your yard! Stop by the front office to pick one up!

We are celebrating our Wildcats that participated in our summer reading program this Friday August 28th from 3:30-4:30pm on the playground turf. If it rains Friday afternoon, we will reschedule. Parents of participating students will receive an email from Vickey Harjo today with the details.

The next PTCO (Parent, Teacher, Community Organization) meeting will be on Sept 1st from 5:30-6:30pm in the science lab. We invite ALL Legacy parents to join us for our upcoming PTCO meeting. Come connect with other parents, get involved, and help keep Legacy an amazing school for our students. We can’t wait to meet you!

Every 6th grade Legacy Academy student is invited to participate in a science-based outdoor adventure trip at the YMCA in Estes Park, Colorado. This 3-day adventure filled with fun and learning will take place Monday, September 28th to Wednesday, September 30th at the Estes Park Center of YMCA of the Rockies. Forms due August 24th - TODAY!

During Character Education for our lower elementary students, we have been talking about how we can “fill someone’s bucket” through kind words, helpful actions, and encouragement. Ask your child how they filled someone’s bucket today—or how someone filled theirs!
