Legacy Clubhouse:
Legacy Clubhouse is an after-school open to all Legacy scholars who want to participate. *A new 5-week clubhouse series is offered each trimester. The goal of Legacy Clubhouse is to ensure that scholars have an opportunity to engage in self-selected clubs that enhance their social and academic growth.
- Clubs are held on Wednesdays, from 3:40 pm until 4:50 pm.
- Scholars meet their instructors when they re-enter the building after school dismissal.
All scholars should be picked up when clubs end at 4:50 pm.
*Clubhouse offerings are subject to change each trimester. Participation in Legacy Clubs is free to our scholars. A limited number of Clubhouse slots are available each trimester. Scholars must submit a signed permission slip to participate. For additional information contact your scholar’s teacher or email the school office.
After-School Tutoring:
During the school year, Legacy scholars in grades 1-8 needing math and reading intervention/enrichment may have an opportunity to participate in our After-school Academic Support Program (AASP). The program is offered during each trimester. Scholars must be invited to participate by their teacher.
The goal of our after-school tutoring is to support Legacy scholars as they acquire the necessary skills to be at or above grade level in math and/ or reading. If your scholar needs support or for more information, please contact their teacher.
Tutoring instruction begins at 3:45 pm and concludes at 4:45 pm.
- Scholars will meet their teachers when they reenter the building after dismissal.
- Scholars will be dismissed at the conclusion of the instructional period.
All scholars must be picked up immediately after their program dismisses.
