While specific details and tactics contained in the Emergency Operations Plan cannot be shared publicly, Legacy school permanent buildings have implemented a variety of measures to ensure the safety of the community.

These measures include:
Surveillance cameras installed at the entrance gate to enable offsite monitoring by district administrators and office staff.

Emergency communications systems to effectively notify the intended audience and appropriate response agencies.

A single point of entry and visitor management system, Raptor, implemented at all campuses. Visitors must first check-in with the Raptor system and receptionist before being allowed into the rest of the school building. Any parent, guest, contractor or volunteer must check-in with the front office and show photo identification and be granted approval before they enter into the rest of the building.

It has been a long-standing practice, and a State requirement, that safety and security drills are an essential part of a school’s operational plan. Teachers, faculty and staff review protocols for each type of potential emergency prior to the school year, and students are trained in the practice of these drills. For additional insight, please also see the Parent Student Handbook.

A secured 6-foot fence has been installed around the perimeter of our campus along with cameras located at the front entrance and rear gate. Visitors will need to check in at the front office and provide a valid state I.D. Legacy will be utilizing the Raptor System to scan I.D.s which are then validated against criminal databases. A security guard will be onsite and all gates will be locked during the school day. These measures will be in place beginning with the first day of school.

In addition to the above measures, we want to assure you that it has been a long-standing practice, and a State requirement, that safety and security drills are an essential part of a school’s operational plan. Teachers, faculty and staff review protocols for each type of potential emergency prior to the school year, and students are trained in the practice of these drills. For additional insight, please also see the Parent Student Handbook.

The District Safety and Security Lead ensures the LTS Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is in compliance with State and Education Safety Laws. In doing so, the District Safety and Security Lead closely follows the recommendations and guidelines provided to schools through the Texas State School Safety Center (txssc.txstate.edu/).

While specific details and tactics contained in the Emergency Operations Plan cannot be shared publicly for safety reasons, Legacy schools works closely with first responders to train for and implement measures contained in the Emergency Operations Plan.

In the event of a power outage, make-up days may be assessed if the outage impacts the total number of school days. Legacy schools may utilize online learning platform Schoology to deliver an effective education, online, in the event of an outage.

Every student enrolling in LTS for the first time must present documentation of immunizations as required by the Texas Department of State Health Services. No later than 30 days after enrolling in LTS, the parent and school in which the student was previously enrolled shall furnish records that verify the identity of the student.

The parent/guardian of each student enrolled in LTS must complete a form provided by the school that discloses (1) whether the child has a food allergy or a severe food allergy that should be disclosed to the school to enable it to take any necessary precautions regarding the child’s safety, and (2) specifies the food(s) to which the child is allergic and the nature of the allergic reaction. For purposes of this requirement, the term “severe food allergy” means a dangerous or life-threatening reaction of the human body to a food-borne allergen introduced by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact that requires immediate medical attention. LTS may also require information from a child’s physician if the child has food allergies.

Parents and students in need of assistance with physical and mental health concerns may contact the following campus and community resources:

Asthma and anaphylaxis are life-threatening conditions, and students with those conditions are entitled to possess and self-administer prescription medication while on LTS property or at school-related events. Student possession and self-administration of asthma or anaphylaxis medication at school requires the student to demonstrate his or her ability to self-administer the medication to the student’s physician or other licensed health care provider and the school nurse, if available.

Requirements also include written authorization from the student’s parent and physician or other licensed health care provider on file in the school office indicating the student is capable of independently administering his or her own asthma or emergency anaphylaxis medication. Medication in a student’s possession must be in an original container with a prescription label. Please note that most pharmacies will place a label on the inhaler device upon request.

Medication should be administered at home whenever possible. If necessary, medication can be administered at school by the school Health Assistant or or another staff member, as delegated by the school principal, during school hours. Students may not self-medicate.

Prescription medication and over-the-counter (OTC) medication may be given by the health assistant or another staff member, as delegated by the school principal, during school hours. Students may not self-medicate.

– Do not exit your vehicle.

– Do not cut in front of other cars that are already lined up.

Each student enrolled in school is expected to be in attendance each day the school is in session, except in the case of illness or an emergency. In the event that a student does not attend school, the parent must call and leave a message providing the reason for the absence on the school attendance voicemail or email the school attendance email account by 10 a.m. in order for an absence to be considered “excused.”

Please note that an email to the classroom teacher will not suffice. Both the attendance voicemail and email accept messages 24 hours a day. Parents are welcome to call late in the evening or very early in the morning. The full absence policy is located in the Parent & Student Handbook on page 15.

Please contact the registrar at cb-reg@ltcs.co in advance of the first day to let them know your child will miss the first day of school.

Items forgotten at home such as lunch, textbooks, homework, sports equipment and/or musical instruments may be dropped off at the school and placed in a designated area with the student’s name, grade, and teacher for pick up.

An email notification will be sent to the teacher that the item has been dropped off. LTS does not guarantee the delivery or timing thereof.

When your child is ill, please contact LTS to let staff know he or she will not be attending that day. If a student becomes ill during the school day, he or she must receive permission from the teacher before reporting to the school health office.

If the health office staff determines that the child should go home, the Health Assistant or designee will contact the parent.

Legacy Traditional Schools does not require a doctor’s note in order to have your child’s absence excused. However, in the case of some illnesses, a doctor’s note may be required before a student can return to school.

Please speak with the health assistant at your campus if you have any questions regarding your child’s return to school after illness.

In the event of medical necessity, students may be excused from physical activity in P.E. class for up to two days per grading period with a parent note. Anything exceeding two days requires a note from a healthcare professional.

Students who are excused from physical activity may earn their daily participation points by completing a written assignment in class.

Please contact your school’s health assistant for the necessary paperwork.

Students who are tardy must have a parent/guardian sign them in at the front office and they must receive a tardy slip before going to class. Parents should be aware that tardy students who arrive after a certain time might be marked as absent for half or all of the day in accordance with state instructional minutes guidelines.

All students are provided one week to make up all assignments/assessments that are missed due to absences. This does not include long-term assignments.

Parents must be ready to present an ID at the front office to verify their identity (Driveline signs will not be accepted as a form of ID). For the safety of the students, and to minimize front office disruption, the school does not allow students to sign out during the last 15 minutes of the school day, unless there is an emergency.

Legacy takes its role as a part of the educational community seriously and respects the decisions made by other educational institutions and professionals. Therefore, a student who adequately completed a grade level at a previous school must enroll in the next sequential grade level available.

Parents may not “self-retain” or “self-promote” by selecting a lower or higher grade level during the enrollment process. Should this occur, the school administration would meet with the parent and discuss a plan of action, including, but not limited to, withdrawal of the student or a change in grade. Written proof of retention or accelerated promotion by the former school must be submitted in writing in order for the grade change to be valid at Legacy.

By order of the governing board, parents are strictly prohibited from requesting that school administrators place their children and/or other students with select teachers or in particular classes. Student placement will be at the discretion of the teachers and administrators.

Legacy does not move a child out of a class based on a parental request. Parents with concerns may request a conference with the principal to discuss any concerns and request interventions, corrective action, modifications, accommodations, and other recommendations in an effort to address parent concern(s).

We LOVE parent volunteers and do not require volunteer hours.

Upon entering campus, visitors will be asked to present a valid state-issued ID, which will be scanned into the system. The ID will be scanned into the Raptor visitor management system. Once the entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that must be worn while on campus. This process must be completed every two years.

Legacy Traditional Schools will not involve itself in custody disputes or negotiations.

A student with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, as defined by law, and who does not otherwise qualify for special education services, may qualify for protections under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (“Section 504”). Section 504 is a federal law designed to prohibit discrimination against persons with disabilities. When an evaluation is requested, a committee will be created to determine whether the student needs Section 504 services and supports in order to receive an appropriate education as required by federal law.

Legacy will open on time for instruction, as planned, on August 9. 

The pandemic has created some supply chain challenges for new construction projects across all industries.  For that reason, and out of an abundance of caution, the completion of our school building will be delayed to January 2023.

To make sure we open on time and begin our classroom education by August 9 as planned, we have a contingency plan in place. The plan will provide for classes to be held in portable classroom buildings located on-site, on several acres of land that is safely distanced from final construction activities.

We started construction on Cibolo using the same time frame that we always do for all of our new campuses.  That construction work started in December, which normally gives us 7-8 months to complete everything well in time for the school opening.

Portable classrooms will be set up onsite for all grade levels.  Our plan is well underway with the city for that set-up.  We’ve used this solution for a few other schools in years past, and it has provided a smooth transition to the school buildings once they are completed.

Back to School Night will be held on Wednesday, August 3 from 5-7 p.m. Parents should attend at the time associated with their child’s grade level:
– PreK-Grade 4: 5-6 p.m.
– Grades 5-8: 6-7 p.m.

Please arrive at the time designated for your child’s grade level (PreK-Grade 4: 5-6 p.m. and Grades 5-8: 6-7 p.m.). If you have children in both groups, you are welcome to arrive at any time between 5-7 p.m.

When you arrive at the campus, follow the flags to the large asphalt parking lot in front of the permanent campus building, located adjacent to the portable classrooms.

After you park, follow the sidewalk and signs to the multipurpose tent, where you will pick up a map of the portables and your child’s teacher assignment.

Families will meet campus administrators, get information on clubs and volunteer opportunities, and meet their teacher.

Upon arrival, follow the sidewalk and signs to the multipurpose tent, where you will pick up a map of the portables and your child’s teacher assignment. Then, families may go to their portable classroom to meet their teacher and see their classroom.

All students should have received teacher assignments via email. Please reference an email from info-texas@ltcs.co with information about how to access Powerschool, our student information system, which includes your child’s teacher assignment.

Yes; families will be able to locate their child’s portable classroom, see inside, find their desk and meet their teacher.

Yes, students may bring supplies with them and place the supplies in their classroom. Students can also bring supplies with them to the first day of school. Please label your child’s supplies with their name and grade level.

If you ordered an EduKit, it will be delivered to your child’s classroom by the first day of school.

Currently, there is a waitlist for Legacy Kids Care at the Cibolo campus. Parents may submit an application online at texas.ltcs.co/legacy-kids-care to be added to the waitlist.

Information about how to sign up for extracurricular activities, including clubs and sports, will be available during Back to School Night in the multipurpose tent.

Legacy teachers most frequently communicate with parents via email updates, including a weekly email which includes announcements, academic information for the week, and campus and district information.

Every other week, families will receive an e-newsletter called The District Quill, which includes information such as food service updates, events, campus information and testing tips.

During the school day, teachers are focused on their students and classroom. If you need to reach your child’s teacher, please send them an email as opposed to calling the school.

Uniforms can be purchased through Legacy or at a retailer of your choice such as Target or Walmart. If you choose to purchase through Legacy, French Toast is the name of the vendor who provides the uniforms for students, including polos, shorts, pants, jackets and more.
