Legacy Ledger

Hello Legacy Families,

It is hard to believe that we are entering the final four weeks of the school year. This has been an incredible year filled with many accomplishments worth celebrating.

The elementary music performance was a success! Students did an outstanding job showcasing not only their singing talents but also their learning about planets. Looking ahead, our middle school students are excited to share their talents as well. Please join us for the spring musical on May 8th at 6:00 PM, followed by the band and choir concert on May 14th at 6:00 PM. We invite you to come out and support our students as they highlight their hard work and dedication in these final performances of the year.

As we approach the end of the year, here are a few important reminders:

• Final Assessments: NWEA MAPS testing will take place for K-5 from April 27 - May 1, and for middle school students May 5-8.

• Upcoming Events: End-of-year celebrations are quickly approaching , including kindergarten graduation, 5th grade continuation, and 8th grade graduation. More details will be shared soon.

• Important Information: Be on the lookout for updates regarding summer reading programs and last day of school events and information.

• Attendance Matters: Every day counts. Let’s finish the year strong!

Thank you for your continued support in helping Legacy students succeed. We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for demonstrating resilience, staying the course, and striving for excellence through the end of the year.

Sincerely,

Denise LeSage

Middle School Assistant Principal

KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION

Kindergarten will attend school on their last day on Friday, May 15th. On Monday, May 18th, we will have their graduation ceremony at 12:30pm. Children will arrive at their classrooms by noon to put on caps and gowns, and parents will be seated in the gymnasium. We have an inventory of caps and gowns for the children during the ceremony. These will be cleaned before we put them on the children. When the ceremony is complete, we ask parents to go to their cars and enter the front carpool line. The children will go to their classrooms to remove their gowns and will be dismissed through the front carpool area

8TH GRADE GRADUATION

The 8th graduation ceremony is semi-formal, so please iron your student’s gown. On Monday, May 18th, your student must be at school from 8-10am for graduation rehearsal and must wear their uniform. Students must be picked up after rehearsal and are not allowed to leave the property on their own. The students must return to school by 4:30pm. and report to Ms. Moore's room, located on the west side of the building, just before the exit doors. Please arrive promptly at 4:30pm so we can distribute cords and sashes and get ready. Only 8th grade students are allowed in the room before the ceremony. The graduation ceremony will begin at 5:30pm and last approximately one hour. There will be a 10-minute intermission after the ceremony while we prepare the cafeteria for the End-of-Year Dance. This dance is for Legacy Academy 8th grade students only. Students will be dismissed out the back east doors and should be picked up promptly at 8:30pm.

5th grade will have a continuation ceremony on the last day of school. This ceremony will take place Wednesday, May 20th at 9:30am.
