Welcome back to Legal School!

A reminder to read through the information included, which provides information on staggered entry this coming week.

https://legalspirit2024.itemorder.com/shop/sale/

All items are custom-made and cannot be returned. Sizing charts can be found in the images for each item. The online store will close on Sept 19th. Delivery will be to the school.

Sale is based on product availability from the suppliers and store minimums being met; all purchases will be reviewed when the store is closed. Customers will be contacted if there are any issues we can not resolve.

We do our best to provide as much information as possible about school events through various methods. This includes Legal School Website and web calendar, through email as well as our social media sites: Legal School Facebook Page and Legal School Instagram.

As long as your email address is current, you will receive our weekly issue of the Titans' Times on the last day of school each week. The weekly Titans' Times is also posted on our school website for easy access of back issues.

We are excited to run the Full-year Dynamic Options for grades 4-9, including a Sports Recreation dynamic option. The total cost for a full-year option is $230 per student. This will help cover the fees collected for the Rec option, which will cover the transportation and admission costs included for off-campus activities. Only 25 students will be accepted in each grouping (Gr. 4-6 & 7-9) next year, as that is the limit of students at off-site venues.

Dynamic Options run every Monday and Wednesday for the last 80 minutes of the school day.

This is for all families interested in having their children participate in REC. Option Programming: Parents must sign up their children and express intent by September 13th. You can let us know if you want your child to be in the class by emailing Mrs. Knight at kknight@gsacrd.ab.ca. The cost will be added to the school fees in September. The full payment must be made by September 27th for the programming to begin, ensuring your child doesn't miss out on this exciting program.

Students in grades 4-9 will choose their options during the first full week of school (after the long weekend).

- Doors open at 8:23 am.

- Tardy bell rings at 8:28 am.

• Doors are locked, and all students must enter through the front doors after that time for a late slip.

- Dismissal is at 2:56 pm.

We are hoping that the Legal Titans Families can help us stock the staffroom fridge with a few treats to kick off the school year.

Help us “Fill the Fridge” with different drinks for our teachers and staff for back-to-school!

You can drop off pop (Dr. Pepper, Coke Zero, Pepsi), Soda Water (Bubbly), sports drinks, snacks (goldfish, pretzels, chips), etc., at the front office anytime during the first few days of school.

We appreciate any items to help cure the post-summer blues for our AMAZING Titans Staff!

This year Legal School is changing up our back-to-school meet & greet!

We will hold a welcome back to school BBQ, an opportunity to meet your child's teachers and have a bite to eat.

We look forward to meeting everyone and welcoming everyone back to school this FUN way!
