It was a great week here on the Flight Deck! We celebrated Hispanic Heritage Spirit Week to conclude our month-long celebration. Our dance students also performed during lunches - link to video: https://fb.watch/gbJyT43jjO/. It was impressive seeing so many students and teachers participating. We held volleyball tryouts this past week and formed our boys and girls teams. Congratulations to our Jets who made the team. We started our Flight Hour and mentor program this past week on campus as well. Our dance students had a field trip to see the Dracula ballet and our faculty and staff got to experience some kitten therapy. PMA testing also concluded this last week and teachers submitted their report card grades. You will be able to view your students report card on Skyward on October 24th.
As we enter into the new week I want to remind all Jets that if you participate in sports or clubs on campus you must be a member of the YMCA. Information is contained in this Jets in Action on how to register. After school YMCA at Legacy is free to all Jets. On Wednesday I encourage all Jets to wear orange for Unity Day, to unite for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion to prevent students being bullied. On Wednesday we will also be having our first author visit of the school year, the author Jess Redman will be on campus. She is the author of Quintessence which is on the Sunshine State book list this year. On Thursday we will be on a modified bell schedule for our first mental health lesson of the school year and picture retakes will be occurring. I am looking forward to another great week on the Flight Deck!
Thank you,
Mr. Jiménez
Principal, Legacy Middle School

Parent Medical Consent Form |
|
|
We still need many parents' input on whether or not we have permission to treat your child for any kind of medical incidents that may occur during the school day. You should have received several communications with directions on how to opt-in.
Should it become necessary to provide your child with timely care, please review these forms on your parent Skyward portal. If we do not receive your input, we cannot provide your child with any kind of medical care.
* Use email or phone number to Log In or Sign Up for
* Click on Skyward to access the forms
|
|
|
** A guide on how to complete the Parent Consent Forms can also be found on page 1 of our school website under Recent News. **
Here is the link:

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! |

Flight Hour began this past Wednesday across the Legacy campus. During Flight Hour, teachers use strategically organized small group instruction to help students achieve learning gains. |

Closing Images of the Week . . . |
|
|
On Friday our Legacy campus had some kitten visitors. Our faculty and staff got to enjoy some kitten therapy from A Better Life Pet Rescue. The smiles from our Jets says it all. Kittens can lower stress and anxiety and their purrs are healing. A few of our Jets even applied to adopt some of the kittens.
