We are down to the last 7 days of the school year for Tracks B, C, and D! Our last day is Tuesday, June 30th, which is a minimum day. Report Cards will go home with students on the last day of school. The office will be closed July 1st-3rd to prepare for the first day of school on July 6th.

You can support our PTO by joining us at Cold Stone on Friday, June 26th from 4:00 to 8:00 pm. This is the perfect weather for a scoop of ice cream. Cold Stone is donating $1 to the Legacy Parliament PTO for every ice cream purchased, so make sure to show the flyer below when you pay.

As we close out this school year, we are already preparing for the 2026-2027 school year. All important dates have already been added to the website calendar, and the year-round calendar is also available on the website or using the "Year Round Student Attendance Calendars" button below. The updated Student-Parent Handbook for next year has been uploaded to our website. Make sure to read through for specific school and district policies. I will be highlighting specific sections of the handbook in the newsletter for the first month of school.

Sincerely,

Adrienne Chase

Principal

*Every Thursday is a Minimum Day*

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.”

The next challenge ends on June 26th, 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.

Visitor Aware is designed to enhance security while streamlining operations for CVUSD school sites. This 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. Visitors must provide a physical photo ID at check-in.  Those 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.
