Sometimes children show more than one expectation at a time! Celebrate those moments with specific praise so they know how their choices connect to PBIS.

Example Praise:

• “You helped set the table without being asked—that was respectful and responsible.”

• “Thank you for listening carefully and then following through—that shows responsibility and respect.”

🦉 Building Positive Habits

The more kids hear positive language tied to Respectful, Responsible, and Safe, the more natural it becomes. Try ending the week by celebrating a few highlights.

Example Praise:

• “I noticed how safe and responsible you were on our walk today.”

• “You were respectful when you let your sister go first. I’m proud of you.”

Congratulations to the following class for winning our Month 10 Attendance Challenge Donut Party!

Ms. Rosenbaum's 5th Grade Class (97.17%).

Ms. Zonni - 2nd Grade

Ms. Waite - 3rd Grade

A drawing was held for the 399 students with perfect attendance from 3/23 to 417. A lucky student from each grade level won an In-N-Out gift card!

The next challenge ends on May 15th, so make sure you don't miss school.

Parents/guardians shall call the school office between 7:00 am and 4:00 pm, submit the absence through the Parent Portal, or send an email/hand-written note to the office, upon returning to school (BP/AR 5112.1). You have three days to clear your child’s absence. Please contact the school office in advance of any long-term (3 or more days) unavoidable absence to arrange a schedule of the work to be completed by the student. This must be done at least one week in advance.

How to report an absence:

• Message Heather Trinidad on Parent Square to report a student's absence. https://www.parentsquare.com/schools/31937/feeds
• Email heather_trinidad@chino.k12.ca.us 
• Call (909) 364-2319 and speak with Heather Trinidad

Absence Verification (AR 5113, EC 46012, 5 CCR 306)

CVUSD requests that parents/guardians clear their student’s absence daily. Parents/guardians have 5 school days to clear absences with the school's attendance clerk. If not cleared within five school days, the absence becomes unverified and cannot be changed.

The SARB Process as Established by LAW

A letter will be sent to the parent at the following intervals for unexcused or truancy absences:

• Third (3) - Unexcused absences: Classified as a Truant (reported to attendance administrator) 1st Letter sent to home.
• Sixth (6) - Unexcused absences: Second Truancy (again reported to attendance administrator) 2nd Letter and School Attendance Review Team (SART) meeting or meeting with administrator.
• Ninth (9) - Unexcused absences: Third Truancy (classified as a habitual truant and subject to summons to appear at a School Attendance Review Board (SARB).

Note: Ten (10) excused absences are considered to be excessive. Education Code Sec. 48260 - Any pupil subject to full-time education or to compulsory education who is absent from school without a valid excuse more than (3) days or tardy or absent for more than any 30-minute period during the school day without a valid excuse or three occasions in one school year, or any combination thereof, is a truant and shall be reported to the attendance administrator or superintendent of the school district. A note from the doctor will be requested after 10 absences.

When a parent takes their child out of school early, for reasons not acceptable as excused, for longer than a 30 minute period, more than three times during the year, that child becomes a truant. If your child is absent due to a doctor/dentist appointment, please provide a note from the doctor to excuse the tardy, early release, or absence.

Do you have a child who will reach the age of five on or before September 1, 2026? If so, it is almost time to enroll your Owlet at Legacy Academy.

Kindergarten Registration for the 26-27 school year began in January. A registration appointment can be scheduled by calling the office once you have all the required documents and completed the online registration form.

We are pleased to announce the opening of the Legacy Academy Enrichment Club (an extension of Fun Club), a new afterschool program created especially for 7th and 8th grade students enrolled at Legacy Academy. Beginning January 5th, this program will offer a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where students can continue to learn, grow, and connect after school.

Students will be enrolled on a first come, first serve basis, with priority enrollment provided to unduplicated students (i.e. English language learners, foster youth, and socio-economically disadvantaged).

The district has replaced its former visitor management system, Raptor, with Visitor Aware. Visitor Aware is designed to enhance security while streamlining operations for CVUSD school sites.

Similar to Raptor, Visitor Aware provides an additional layer of security for our students by validating the identities of anyone entering the premises, determining if they are a potential threat, and keeping accurate records of all school visits. The best part, nothing new is required by visitors! The same process of providing a physical photo ID at check-in is all that is needed.

Visitors who elect not to provide current ID will not be permitted on campus. Please see the flyer below for more information.

Vision: Legacy Academy guarantees every child a rigorous curriculum filled with Optimism, Wonder, Leadership, and Success.

Mission: Through a literacy-based STEAM instructional approach, our community works together to create a safe and secure learning environment that prepares all students to leave a legacy and make their mark.
