Highlight of the Week
We enjoyed meeting several
of our future Gold Rush students and their families at Kindergarten
Registration this week! The children were
so excited that we wished we could welcome them well before August! If you were unable to make it to registration
this week please contact the school office.
Please remember that you need to provide a copy of your child’s birth
certificate, proof of residency and immunization record.
Bullying
We are continually educating
students about how they can help create a safe learning environment for all by
reporting bullying. Bullying is defined
as a repeated pattern of behavior or a single significant act towards
another. We work with students on how
they can help protect themselves and others by reporting bullying to an
adult. We talk about how bullying can
take several forms, including verbal, social, physical or cyber bullying. Click

additional resources to use when talking with your child about this topic at
home.
Calendar for 2013-2014
In response to parental concerns regarding the difficulty of
having students on multiple school calendars, the Legend
Feeder Leaders explored moving to one calendar for the 2013-2014
school year. After extensive conversations regarding the educational
needs of students at all levels, the feeder principals determined that the
split-modified calendar was a compromise among the three calendars approved by
the District. Once each of the schools received majority support for the
split-modified calendar from both the staff and School Advisory Committees,
they gathered additional input from the community in an open meeting on
12/4/12.
You are being asked to provide input regarding
whether all feeder schools move to one calendar next year (Option 2 the
split-modified calendar) or whether the feeder schools remain on two different
calendars (Option 1 – elementary schools remain on the modified calendar and
the middle and high school remain on the traditional calendar).
Please complete the calendar survey by December 11th.
The Legend Feeder leadership will share the outcome by winter break. As always your feedback is appreciated!
