Dear Legacy Families,

Thank you for your patience as we prepare our plans for a safe return to school for the 2020-21 school year. Over the past several weeks, we have been working diligently to develop learning options and safety procedures that will meet the needs of our students, while also ensuring the health and wellbeing of our entire school community. Your feedback has been invaluable during this process.

For the 2020-21 school year, we are considering the following two learning options for students. To help us plan, we are asking families to select the option that best suits their circumstances. 

Selecting Your Child's Learning Option

You will receive an email later today with instructions for selecting your child’s learning mode through Infinite Campus. Please respond with your selection no later than July 12, 2020.

If a student wishes to change their selection, it may only be done at the end of a quarter/grading period. Additionally, there will be a weeklong grace period to change your selection at the beginning of the school year. Details on changing your selection will be provided at a later date.
