The 2021-2022 school year has officially come to a close. The Legacy campus will still be open for course recovery, summer school and the Calculus Project.
As we reflect back on this year, Jets returned to the flight deck for face to face instruction. There was some turbulence during the flight with the different COVID peaks, but we made it to our destination in the end. We have all come out smarter, stronger and wiser living through these historic times.
I am looking forward to the 2022-2023 school year on campus. I hope all our Jets have a wonderful summer. I also want to encourage all of our Jets to read this summer and complete our summer reading assignment.

As we start the summer with Memorial Day, please take some time to honor and remember our armed service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Thank you,
Principal Jiménez

Charity Recycling Bin on the Legacy Campus |
|
|
Are you finding things you no longer use? Have the kids already outgrown the clothes you bought last August?
Fear not, our school has a Charity Recycling Services bin on campus. Simply place backpacks, old clothes, shoes, towels and linens - even your pots and pans in the white bins! All items are accepted, except glass. Help earn dollars for Legacy and save the environment. Less than 3 percent of all items donated via these bins have ended up in landfills, which means YOU help reduce the impact we all have when you use these bins. 1,000,000 pounds have been up-cycled since the program began with Orange County Public Schools. Every pound counts – donate items today!

OCPS Summer Reading Challenge |
|
|
"Oceans of Possibilities" is the theme of Orange County Public Schools' motivational summer reading challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to motivate children to read for pleasure and to ensure that students maintain their reading skills over summer vacation.
OCPS encourages families to browse the reading lists, interactive literacy websites, e-books, parent resources, and literacy events in our community. Students may also access the OCPS's Summer Reading Challenge via LaunchPad. This challenge encourages students to read and log their minutes electronically using the Beanstack application. Please click here for details on this summer's reading challenge. |
