This week on campus students continued their end of the year iReady diagnostic testing. Great job Jets! This week is crunch time, we are in the final countdown until state testing which starts on May 2nd. Students have worked hard all school year and it’s almost time to show what they know on the tests. I am confident that our students will perform well. I want to encourage you to have your students review for their upcoming state assessments. I also want to ensure you review the May testing calendar. It is important that students arrive on time for test days.
This week teachers also submitted grades for progress report cards for quarter four. You will be able to view students' grades on Skyward on April 28th. As we are getting closer to the end of the school year this is a reminder to have students submit all their assigned work on time.
Thank you,
Principal Jiménez

Author Gordon Korman has written over 100 books! |
On Monday, some Legacy students had the opportunity to participate in a virtual author visit with Gordon Korman. The visit was provided to us by the Orange County Library. Our students were able to ask questions and learned so much about how to become an author. Gordon wrote his first book in 7th grade and had it published by 9th grade. He has written 100 books and our Jets were inspired! |
