A MESSAGE FROM DR. HARRISON
Hello Legacy Families!
On behalf of TUSD and Legacy Magnet Academy, I am so excited to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year. Although our year is still a few short weeks away, we cannot wait to begin this adventure with you. Our first day of learning is Wednesday, August 14. Between now and the first day of school, there are several things you can do to prepare:
- Login to your Aeries Parent Portal and complete your data confirmation for your student(s)
- Gather up your school supplies, backpack, etc. See below for school supply recomendations by grade. I know when I was a student, school supply shopping was one of my favorite activities! I looked forward to it every school year and still do if I'm being completely honest :)
- Mark your calendars for Registration, and Back to School Night/Popsicle Party. We can't wait to see you all! See below for details.
Parent communication and connection between home and school is one of our top priorities here at LMA. Please be sure that you read our weekly newsletter, Rising TIDE, to keep up to date on all things LMA. We are extremely excited about the upcoming school year and we look forward to seeing everyone very soon!

Take care and stay safe,
Dr. Harrison, Principal
Legagy Students RISING in the Community!
Leagacy Rising 8th Grader Alex Soto loved being out with the KCAL team as an Assistant Field Producer at opening day of the OC Fair!
The CHOC Walk event took place on Sunday, July 21st. Hundreds of teams and thousands of walkers got together and raised over $2.3M for CHOC.
From Kara Nguyen, Legacy Rising 8th Grader and 2024 CHOC Walk Ambassador:
This walk has touched many hearts and brought our community together to help make a difference. This past CHOC Walk has put it into perspective on how one small thing can make a big difference. Donations of $5 can add up to millions of dollars and when our community gets together, we can all make a difference.
This year, I am proud to say that Team Super Kara & Friends has 44 team members who joined us for the CHOC Walk, including Coach Kelly and Mrs. Kelly Branson Lewis (8th), Liora Levy (7th) and our PTO President, Ms. Pia Lewis. We raised $70,271 as a team. This year was a record breaking year for my team and I.
It's been surreal and I am proud to represent CHOC while showing LMA TIDE spirit.

Hello!
We are excited that your child will attend LMA's SCUBA New Student Orientation Day. The purpose of SCUBA is to help new students feel more comfortable and help them succeed at LMA!
LMA's SCUBA New Student Orientation and year-long program is designed to welcome and support new students by assigning them returning LMA student SCUBA leaders as mentors for the year. These SCUBA leaders are responsible older students who were hand selected from a large pool of applicants that have met the qualifications of being good role models and positive leaders on campus. Following is some information to let you know what you and your child can expect in advance for their first day of school at LMA.
- Your child is invited to the LMA SCUBA New Student Orientation Day on Tuesday, August 13th from 8:30am-11:30. Students will enter through the gates at the front of the school near the office and head into the new gym.
- Your child is encouraged to NOT bring backpacks, purses, or other like items as the day is quite active.
- Due to the highly active nature of the day, please make sure that your child wears comfortable clothing and shoes that don't restrict movement.
This is an event for new students ONLY. Please drop your child off at 8:30am and return to pick them up at 11:30am.
Thanks for your support!
Best,
LMA SCUBA Coordinators
All students who wish to park ebikes on campus MUST attend a session.

Legacy Magnet Academy Dress Code Guidelines
In case you're planning to do any back to school clothes shopping, we wanted to take the opportunity to remind of our dress code guidelines.
Legacy Magnet Academy Dress Code Guidelines:
Legacy Magnet Academy requests that all students dress for success. Coming to school dressed for success helps promote pride and professionalism and reminds us all that our primary focus is on academics and a productive school experience. The quality of work students produce at school can be affected by their personal appearance. Students should dress with reasonable standards of cleanliness and modesty. Clothing and hairstyles are to be worn that will not draw the undue attention of peers or be distracting to class instruction.
In order to provide a safe learning environment free from major distractions, school wide dress code guidelines have been developed. The following specific dress code guidelines will be expected and enforced:
Appropriate dress and personal appearance at (school) and at school-related activities shall not include any clothing, attire or accessory that by its appearance, arrangement, trademark, fit, or any other attribute, is unsafe; disruptive; unhealthful; obscene; profane; ethnically, racially or sexually degrading; libelous or slanderous; exposing undergarments; provocative or revealing; advocating unlawful behavior or illegal substances; or suggesting or promoting any affiliation with street gangs or other groups that commit unlawful acts.
Parents may call the school at any time for clarification prior to purchase of school attire. If students attend school dressed inappropriately, different attire can be provided. Repeat violations may result in disciplinary action. Parent support in encouraging students to dress appropriately is paramount.
New to TUSD? – Welcome, we’re so happy you’re here!

Here is a Helpful Document to assist with the enrollment process in the event that you run into any difficulty.
From Our School Nurse:
Dear Families,
Doctor authorizations for school medications or health procedures must be renewed annually. If your child will need medication at school during the upcoming school year, please complete a medication form with your child's doctor or health care provider and submit it to the health office prior to having medication on campus. A doctor authorization is needed for all prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as emergency medications carried in student backpacks ("self-carry medications").
Forms and additional information can be found on the TUSD website: English / Spanish
Please reach out to our health clerk at lelizalde@tustin.k12.ca.us if you have any questions or school health concerns.
Thank you for your help.
