This past week we concluded the month of October on a high note! Students were able to enjoy a thrilling performance by our dance team during lunch and we finished our Red Ribbon Week Spirit Week with students dressing in costumes to say boo to drugs. The smiles and excitement on the students faces to share their costumes was a memorable day on campus. I was able to take some pictures with some of our students. Inflatable costumes were very popular (below)! |
This Sunday I want to remind all of our Jets about the time change as daylight savings ends. On Monday, teachers will begin posting their quarter two progress report grades. Please check Skyward and have your students turn in any missing assignments. Tuesday will be a very busy day on campus. We will be a polling site for election day, we will have our second session of our mentoring program, and we will be holding our PTSA meeting at 5:00pm and SAC will convene at 5:30pm. Wednesday will be a no early release day to make up time due to Hurricane Ian. We will also be having a home volleyball game against Avalon Middle School.
Ahead of the new week, I want to remind all parents about our afternoon pick-up procedures for car riders. We are asking that you use the Legacy Middle School car loop. We are concerned about the safety of our Jets who are walking across the street to the credit union to meet their parents or wait in the lobby for their parents to pick them up.
This will be another successful week on the Flight Deck and I thank you for your continued support. In closing, it certainly was a lot of fun taking a little time to build relationships with our Jets in the courtyard with some football practice!

Very important student safety matter:
Jets,
It has been brought to our attention that the MidFlorida Credit Union across the street from Legacy is being used for parent pick up and some students are even going inside to the lobby to await parent pick up. This is a huge safety concern. It also impacts the business and traffic at MidFlorida Credit Union. This is a reminder to use the proper pick-up procedures for Legacy Middle School. All students should be picked up in the Legacy car loop.

Congratulations to Isabella Rodriguez, one of our 8th grade band students. She auditioned for and was selected to be a member of the 2022-2023 All-State Middle School Band! This means that, out of hundreds of students who auditioned, she was one of the top twelve middle school flute players in the entire state. This is a huge honor. |
