I want to start off by saying I know our community was greatly impacted by Hurricane Ian. I know our school community was specifically affected by the flooding that still has some area roads shut down. If there is anything you need please contact the school. Below is also information on relief and resources from OCPS.
This past week though short, we were still able to accomplish much on campus. We welcomed back students after the closures due to the hurricane. Make up days will be communicated soon from OCPS. Some students resumed PMA testing and many students turned in missing and late work. Due to the school closure the deadline to submit report card grades was extended. Parents and guardians please check Skyward and Canvas to see if your student is missing any assignments and have them submit to their teachers.
This week in recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month we will have a spirit week. We will also start a new sport season with volleyball tryouts. We will host our SAC meeting for the month of October the following week on Tuesday, 10/18 at 5:30pm. Lastly, I want to remind everyone that on Wednesday there will not be an early dismissal.
Thank you,
Mr. Jiménez
Principal, Legacy Middle School

Hurricane Ian Relief Information |
|
|
Hurricane Ian hit Florida hard; we hope you and your loved ones are safe in the aftermath. Many in our OCPS community have asked how to help, and our Foundation has a way ready to go!
At this time, we are focused on helping our own families and schools here in Orange County. We know that Riverdale Elementary School was flooded, for example, and that OCPS employees may need help with damage, too.
Cash contributions are the most effective way to help, and are being accepted through the Foundation. Simply click on this link – below. Your gift will go to the area of greatest need in OCPS for hurricane relief. You can also specify that your gift is to be used for a particular school or for the OCPS Family Fund, which helps OCPS employees directly.
People often ask if they can donate goods or gift cards.. The Foundation’s online giving page will be updated as new details are available.

At times when we receive more calls than open phone lines, you may experience a 'call transfer to nowhere.' Your call is important to us, which is why we created this new feature to decrease the time between phone call latency and feedback. Our workaround is to have you contact the school using the QR code below. The QR code is linked to a form that notifies us directly when you submit an inquiry. Give it a try during our peak call times (mornings, lunch, dismissal) and let us know what you think! |
