This half day is considered a “Dress

If you do not want your child out of
uniform or do not wish to pay the
$1.00, your child may come to school
in their uniform.
All monies collected benefit school
needs such as our PTO, Library,
Student Council or other areas.
Please be aware, children who dress
out of uniform still need to be in dress
code standards as outlined in our Par-
ent & Student Handbook.
Please note: “Dress Out of Uniform
Days” are ONLY on report card 1/2
days, which happen every 6 weeks.
Principal’s Corner
Dear Legacy Families,
Thank you for actively being a part of your

many respectful Mustang students on and off
campus.
In the next two weeks I will be handing out
awards for academic excellence and character
during the Flag Ceremonies. I look forward to
celebrating your child’s success on the below
dates:
September 24th—2nd Grade
September 25th—3rd Grade
September 26th—4th Grade
September 27th—5th Grade
September 28th—6th Grade/JH

Health Corner
Making sure your children are safe at home, is just another responsibility of parents. Here are some
ideas of items to keep in your First Aid box at home, to keep those precious children
safe:
Gauze pads, tape, bandages (small and large), antiseptic wash, ice and hot packs,
tweezers, scissors, Calamine lotion, alcohol wipes, Ace bandage and emergency phone
numbers are some helpful items. Your child’s primary care doctor may recommend
other items for your child’s specific health needs, as well.

Legacy Families,
A new year has quickly begun and it is
time to start our monthly appreciation
gifts for the staff members. I am Jen
Ciurca, proud mommy to a 2nd grader at
Legacy. Last year I worked with P.A.L.S.
as the Staff Appreciation Coordinator.
My responsibility includes obtaining and
presenting a gift on behalf of P.A.L.S. to one staff member
each month. The lucky staff member is then featured in the
monthly P.A.L.S. newsletter. I am writing to ask for any gift
donations that your family or business would be willing to con-
tribute in the effort to recognize our
hardworking staff at Legacy. All donations are tax deductible.
Please contact me, Jen Ciurca, at 429-4285 or
[email protected] for more information. Also, please
remember our first PTO Meeting is September, 13th from
6:00-7:00pm!

Clubs
We had such a wonderful turn out at both of our PICCS evenings! Thank you Mustang families for you continued involvement
in our school! We are always amazed at the support from dedicated families, which make our campus an amazing school to be
apart of.
We look forward to all the fun, memorable things our clubs will be up to over the next number of months.
On September 10, all our 1st - 6th grade RISE students
began with pullouts during the day. The classroom
teacher will have the pullout schedule. There will be
questionnaires that the students will be taking home on
the first day of pullout for parents and students to fill out
together at home.
The JH RISE class is continuing on impressively! This
week we have already participated in critical thinking
activities such as building a bridge out of just 4 sheets of
copy paper that held over 250 pennies!
Sports
LTS’s fall sports teams continue to work hard to improve both their
academic and athletic prowess. The Football team defeated AMS
(Academy of Math and Science) last week by the score of 35-0, but had
a second game with them postponed due to inclement weather. The
LTS Girls Red and White Volleyball teams both split a pair of matches
winning one and loosing the other with Gila Bend Elem. School and the
Academy of Math and Science. The girls traveled up to Paradise on
Saturday but were a little bit overmatched loosing both games played.
This week the Football team travels to Casa Grande on both Tuesday
and again on Sat. morning for
a double header. The Volleyball teams are
playing @ home for both Wed & Sat Games
start at 4:30 PM on Wed and at 10:00 AM
Saturday morning. Come out and support
your favorite team…..Good luck Mustangs!

Attendance Calls
Our IT department is fervently working on
resorting our phone “bumps and bruises”
that we have had this school year.
To call in your child absence, when you
call in to 520-505-3640 and our automated
system picks up, dial “5100”. You will be
sent to Mrs. Wallentine’s Office. If she is
on the phone, you will automatically be
sent to voicemail.
We hope this helps ease the “bumps” you
have had with our attendance line.
RUNNING LATE?
If your child is not on time in the morning, you will need to come
into the Front Office and sign your child in, before they may head
to class. Thank you!!
