New Calendar in 2017-2018
The School Advisory Councils from each of the Legend High School Feeder Schools came together on Wednesday evening to discuss the potential of a calendar change for all feeder schools in 2017-2018.  A modified conventional calendar that included a week off for Thanksgiving break was proposed after several issues with the current split modified calendar were identified.  As you may recall, the split-modified calendar presented academic and extracurricular conflicts for secondary students and challenged all schools ability to adhere to hiring timelines and provide professional development opportunities throughout the school year.  After reviewing faculty and community survey data, each of the School Advisory Councils unanimously approved the new modified conventional calendar for 2017-2018.  It was determined that this calendar would not be adopted next year to support those families who already made travel plans based on the split modified calendar.
