LHS Parent Newsletter: Friday December 6, 2024
Reminders and Updates from Dr. Bonneau
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Break! We are down to 5 traditional school days and a week of reviews and final exams. This is a great time to check grades and make sure everything is turned in. Please remember that finals count more than a traditional test. You should have/see review materials at home as students prepare to take their final exams.
'Tis the Season: It is the season for shenanigans! Please remind your students that we are still teaching and learning. We need them to be engaged in class and preparing for final exams.
Exemptions: Please review the information below for Final Exam Exemption information. Students still need to attend the day of the final exam, even if they are exempt.
Backpack Cleanout: Students, it's tome for a backpack cleanout! Please take time to cleanout your backpack and remove anything you don't NEED for the school day. (Including old food and candy wrappers.)
Let's CELEBRATE! If you have had an experience with someone at Legacy and want to give them a "shout out", please send me their name and a brief explanation. We would love to make someone's day! My email address is stephaniebonneau@misdmail.org.
Questions? Sometimes having high schoolers can be confusing! Please reach out to me at stephaniebonneau@misdmail.org and I will get your question to the right person.
As usual, please reach out if you have any questions!

“Become a Hero of the Hallways!”
Calling all dads and positive male role models! Legacy High School needs YOU to be the eyes, ears, and heart of our school for just one day a month or even a week. Did you know that 1 in 4 children in the U.S. grow up without a father figure at home? Kids without strong male role models are more likely to struggle academically, face behavioral issues, and are statistically more likely to drop out of school. Additionally, 85% of youth in prison grew up in a fatherless home, and 80% of school shooters come from similar backgrounds.
By volunteering a half or full day of your time, you can make a profound difference in the lives of our students. If just five of us commit to the same day each week, we could fill this calendar completely! Whether you can give time once a week or once a month, your presence can help create a positive and supportive environment for our students.
For any questions, please call or text Chad Lovell at 817.422.6122. Let’s step up and be the change our kids need! To sign up, please go to the following link

MISD Parent Hub for Social Emotional Learning
Social and Emotional Learning in MISD is Relational Practices. Relational Practices assist in the ability to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. Along with our mission to support students, empower teachers, and collaborate with administrators, we want to partner with parents to meet the needs of your children at home. The purpose of this site is to provide resources and support as you navigate through the journey of raising kids in the 2020s. Click here to access the MISD Parent Hub for Social Emotional Learning.
As part of Vision 2030, MISD is helping students become life, college and career ready through our student scorecards. Ask your student to log into Edugence and see what they have been working on!
You can also get more information about our scorecards here.
