I want to start this week's edition with a special congratulations to our own Mrs. Henry for winning the Rack Room Shoes Teacher of the Year contest. This was a national contest that she won. Thank you to our Legacy community for voting for her as well. She is such a warm, kindhearted and passionate educator. She pours her spirit into teaching dance. Thanks to Rack Room's generosity, Legacy received a $10,000 check to spend on technology and Mrs. Henry received a $500 gift card.
We are reaching the end of the 2022-23 school year and we only have two weeks left. This week we will be on modified bell schedules for Common Final Exam (CFE) testing. Those schedules are contained in this week's Jets in Action. The majority of the CFEs are computer-based, so please ensure your students bring their charged laptops and chargers to school on test days this week.
This week we also have two (2) end of year events for our 8th graders: our Leave Your Legacy awards at University High School and the 8th grade dance.
The students' anticipation for the end of the year and summer break naturally rises the closer we get to the last day of school. This is a reminder that students need to be in their assigned classes and also that the OCPS Code of Conduct is still enforced. We want to finish the school year strong and your support with this would be greatly appreciated.
On a final note, I want to wish all mothers a Happy Mother's Day!

I am looking forward to another great week on the flight deck!
Thank you,
Mr. Jimenez
Principal, Legacy Middle School

Below are the schedules for CFE testing for this week: |
|
|
OCPS Digital Device Collection |
|
|
This school year all students at all schools in OCPS will need to turn in their OCPS issued device. Over the summer all devices will be reimaged. Device collection will begin after May testing on Monday, May 22nd. This is also a reminder that all fines assessed this school year, must be paid this school year. Below is information on device fines.
Since devices will be collected it is recommended that students save everything saved on their laptop to their OCPS Google Drive.
|
|
|
When a device or accessory is damaged, an incident fee is assessed. The chart below details the device fee structure. Should a non-warranty repair be completed, the incident fee will be applied to the cost of the repair. However, if the repair falls under warranty and there is no cost to repair, the incident fee will be refunded. |
|
|
The fee structure now accounts for a four-year depreciation schedule of the device (each year ends June 30). The chart below details the depreciation schedule. |
|
|
The device begins depreciating once it's in use. Devices depreciate along a normal schedule, depending upon the features of the device, the expected life cycle, and normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear related to the full replacement value—hence the new depreciation schedule above for instances that rise to a third incident. These are the new replacement values based on depreciation. |

A quick look at U.S. economic indicators that can affect our Legacy families... |
Banks continue to tighten lending standards.
Here is the percentage of lenders tightening standards on loans to small businesses:
|
|
|
Making sense of the chart for Legacy families: The chart shows the percentage of banks surveyed who are making it more difficult to get a loan for smaller to medium-sized businesses. About 46% currently are now asking for high credit scores, charging higher interest rates, or requiring more collateral. (The shaded grey areas in the chart are past US economic recessions.)
Why it matters: This could mean businesses will have a higher bar to clear to get a loan to buy equipment or hire more workers. For consumers, too, it could be tougher to get a credit card or car/truck loan. The latest Federal Reserve banking survey found that a majority of banks plan to tighten their credit further this year so this is likely to continue for a while.
