Legacy School Mission Statement

Improved Essays
As concerned parents of students, at Legacy Traditional School of Maricopa, this letter is to inform you that our tolerance for the disorganization and lack of discipline that has occurred in Legacy Maricopa is officially depleted.

While Legacy School continues to grow, leadership at the Maricopa Campus has failed over the last few years to make good on the promise stated in the school Philosophy and mission statement

"Legacy Traditional School mission is to provide motivated students with the opportunity to achieve academic excellence in an accelerated, back-to-basics, safe learning environment taught by caring, knowledgeable and highly effective educators in cooperation with supportive, involved parents."

I would bet, parents of children who have died in school shooting would have appreciated the forewarning that we have with this student, the choice would be easy remove the student or they would have removed their child.

After meeting with several parents over the weekend regarding this issue we are sending our kids to school fearing the worst and hoping for the best, and kids are feeling threatened and intimidated by one student.

We have done our part in your mission statement, my daughter is class president, on the basketball team, an honor roll student, my son has been princple's pride ever since starting Legacy. My kids are highly motivated, responsible students and at this time I am calling for Legacy to recommit to a safe learning environment taught by caring, knowledgeable and highly effective educators.

I am requesting district leaders meet with parents to answer our questions regarding safety protocol and accountability. THIS MUST HAPPEN AND NOW.
The parents I have met with are ready to do whatever it takes, to ensure the safest possible learning environment for our children. ARE

The challenges we face are the close proximity of our small school to the majority of community members and parents, and the intimacy and long-term shared experiences between staff, parents and students. While this creates a large familial bond, like any family, issues arise when people on all sides find themselves in a situation that requires a decision that might negatively affect the perceived familial relationship. At Napavine, we have teachers, parents, community members and students who have been in the community for all of their lives; and, we have those same stakeholders who have not. Division between stakeholder…

    As a new principal at Howard L. Jones High School, I have many challenges facing me on my first day. Jones High School uses the zero tolerance policy when it comes to discipline, and that policy can create a lot of tension among stakeholders. My school is diverse, and that in itself is new to this school. The first problem I am facing is our district’s drug policy and the young lady that was sent to the office because of a mysterious pill that was found in her possession that supposedly is for allergies. My second challenge is our district’s policy on weapons and the young man that is in the office with a sharpened file.…

    You said you have advocated the school ‘the same level of protection as our jewelry stores and sport stadiums’ – but by using what means you could protect the schoolchildren from other schoolchildren with evil intention and suicidal determination, such as the murderers of Columbine massacre? The traumatized teenagers who sought for revenge and killed 13 people in the presence of an armed guard? You would realize that the armed guards may fail to overcome the assailants; even if they are seen as a threat to them, their feverish desire to kill would not prevent the attack from happening although it means self-destruction. And obviously – the source of the guns – where they brought under the impression of your so-called ‘law-abiding people’, and you still have the confidence to introduce and reassure the impenetrable defense to people your association provides? Not that I would believe so.…
