Jets in Action!
Legacy Community Brief

Thursday, December 12, 2024 | | |
|
The countdown to Winter Break continues. I want to thank all our Jets for the testing days we have completed, with only one more to go! We all persevered through the modified bell schedules and various tests taken throughout the week.
On the 10th, our dance students presented their Winter Holiday Showcase with stellar performances. All our performing arts students will display their talents in the Prism Concert this evening, December 12th. Please come out and support our Jets!
With only one instructional week left in the semester, it is important that students turn in all of their missing work. Please check Skyward to see what needs to be submitted. If students missed an assessment, last week makeups will be occurring this week.
This rest of this week and next week we will continue our countdown to Winter Break Spirit Days. The fliers can be found in this edition of JIA, Canvas, and on social media.
From the flight deck, thank you for reading.
