3, 2 & 1… We are in the final countdown of the 2021-2022 school year. As we enter into the last days of the school year, no backpacks will be allowed on campus. Monday is the 8th grade dance and Wednesday during the last three periods of the school day, 8th graders will get to enjoy Field Day. Last week, we held our Leave Your Legacy event at East River High School for 8th graders who have met the requirements for promotion to high school. It was great seeing all our Jets dressed up and their families during the evening!
This week students will be turning in their OCPS issued laptop on Monday, May 23rd or Tuesday, May 24th. Further information is below. In regards to fines, many students currently have outstanding fines. Others due to lost chargers or the condition of their device may be assessed a fine when they turn in their laptop. All fines can be paid online through SchoolPay.com. All of the Legacy SchoolPay links can be found on our school website: https://legacyms.ocps.net/news/school_pay.
Let’s have a great last 3 days of school Jets!
