Dear 8th Grade Parents.<\/p>\n
The purpose of this email is twofold: first to begin planning for the 2009-2010 school year and second to address 8th grade transition to high school.<\/p>\n
1)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 It is time to begin planning for next school year.\u00a0 We will start talking about schedules, academic programs, and events that need extra planning.\u00a0 Teachers have already started coming to me with requests which would improve programs.\u00a0 Planning the schedules can be a bit complicated as this is a K-12 school; for example, a change for 6th grade may affect the high school schedule.\u00a0 It is also time to begin looking at athletic programs, sports teams and related needs (coaches, scheduling, etc.).\u00a0 In addition, Mr. Swanson is beginning to plan for the Washington DC trip and needs to get a rough estimate of the number of students who might attend that trip.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
2)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The 2007-2008 parent survey indicated that Legacy needs to help students transition to the next levels (both middle school and high school).\u00a0 Last May, I met with the 5th grade class about transitions issues; then in October I talked with the 6th grade class about the pros and cons of transitioning to middle school.\u00a0 During 6th period on Friday, January 9th, a panel of seven to eight high school students will give a short presentation to 8th grade students.\u00a0 We will ask the 8th grade students to take some notes, write down what they heard, and any specific questions they might have.\u00a0 We will schedule another session on Tuesday, January 13th, (also during 6th period) to facilitate some discussion between the 8th grade students and the high school panel using the 8th graders\u2019 notes from the original presentation as a discussion guide.\u00a0 Additionally, Mr. Crofford will facilitate another 8th grade\/HS parent meeting on January 14th in the library at 3:40PM (all are invited); and a summary of the student session can be shared at that time.\u00a0 We are considering going through this same process with the 7th grade class and the high school panel at a later time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
To help us with future planning and successful transition activities, would you please return a quick email which indicates whether:<\/p>\n
(1) Your child will be returning to Legacy for the freshman year,
\n(2) Your child will not be returning to Legacy for the freshman year, or
\n(3) You are undecided at this time if your child will be returning to Legacy or not and you need more time to make a final decision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
We thank you in advance for a quick response to this email.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Mrs. Hannigan and the Secondary Staff<\/p>\n
Charla Hannigan, Principal<\/p>\n
