School Advisory Council Meeting
Tuesday, November 12
| | |
|
Student Advisory Committee (SAC) and Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) in its mission of helping students collaborate, innovate, and accelerate our students to success.
Our next SAC meeting of the year will take place on Tuesday, November 12th at 5:30pm in the media center. When parents are actively involved, it fosters a sense of community and collaboration among families, teachers, and administrators. This can create a more supportive and engaging environment for students.
Being part of the SAC/PTSA helps parents stay informed about school events, policies, and needs. It also provides a platform for parents to voice their concerns and ideas directly to the school administration.

Classroom Highlight
Technical Theater
| | |
Students in Technical Theater are honing their sewing and artistic skills by creating personalized aprons. These aprons, designed for both stagecraft and painting, are a hands-on introduction to costuming. From fabric selection to precise cutting and stitching, these budding artisans are mastering practical fashion skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. | | |
Building Student Vocabulary Proficiency | | |
Legacy utilizes the Flocabulary Learning Program.
One of our main focuses this year is on improving vocabulary proficiency in our students. We have purchased Flocabulary, a learning program that uses educational hip-hop music to engage students and increase achievement across the curriculum. Teachers will have the benefit of valuable insights into student vocabulary proficiency from the Flocabulary analytics dashboard.
