Feeder Football!
Ponderosa Vs. Vista Ridge
September 29th 1:00
Echo Park
At halftime we would love to have the feeder school students down on the field for appreciation and recognition.  We would also would love to have all feeder school students form a tunnel for our players to run through pre game...we need them on the field at 12:53.  A coach (Jaron Cohen) will be there to organize them.  It's a lot of fun for the kids so we hope to see you there!



Friday Family Fun Night 
September 28th 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Legacy Point Field
Come enjoy your favorite yard games, some raffles and food!  Bring a blanket or a chair and enjoy food from our concession stand.  Pizza will be available for $2.00 a slice, other concessions for $1.00, and all the community fun is free!  All proceeds will go toward our fundraising efforts for our rock wall.


Opportunities for Involvement
Have you downloaded our Legacy Point App?  This is a great way to get information, log on to your Parent Portal, call your student in sick,  find our staff directory, and/or have a quick link to call us and find our calendar.   Rumler Rebar has been sponsoring the app for the past several years.  If your company would like to sponsor this moving forward, have its name at the top of the app with a link to your website and/or information.  If you have interest, please let me know!


Another volunteer opportunity available can be done on your own schedule. We are in need of someone to update our community bulletin board each month.  This is the board that contains information about calendars, schedules and events located directly inside our front door.  If you are looking for a way to get involved and think you might be able to do this, please let us know!

As always, thank you for being partners in your child's education.

Hello Parents!

Parent Teacher conferences are just around the corner.  You should have heard from your child's teacher regarding signing up for your conference time.  We will try to accommodate a variety of schedules so if one of the assigned times doesn't work for you, please feel free to reach out to the classroom teacher to ask for an alternate time.  At conferences teachers will share the data gleaned from our Assessment Day.  This will give you a good indication of a starting point.  One of our school goals is for all of our students to make a minimum of one year growth in reading.  You can help by knowing where your child is beginning, and supporting the reading process at home.  We value this time with you to help answer questions and share important information.

You may have heard some buzz about the upcoming vote for the Bond and Mil for Douglas County.  Here is what approving that would mean for Legacy Point.


We need your help to get the word out about our situation.

The Ponderosa Homecoming week was a great success!  We had spirit days in which kids dressed up, and we had quite a crowd help us create our float and walk in the Ponderosa Homecoming Parade.  It was a great event.  If you didn't get a chance to join us, please watch for information next year!

We are doing a lot of celebrating and reminding on social media!  Please follow us on one of the following!
Facebook at "Legacy Point Elementary School"(We currently have 97 followers - let's increase this!)

Reminders:
PT Conferences: September 18th, 19th (Please sign up)
No School (Teacher Inservice Day): September 21st

Have a wonderful weekend!
