  • A major focus of LPA’s mission is to build the foundation of knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary for children to become independent learners for life. I will support this effort by accepting and performing my parent responsibilities as outlined in Legacy Preparatory Academy’s Principles of Parent-School Success which includes reviewing my child's learning plan and/or planner "daily" and by providing a place and a regular time each day that my child can complete his/her assignments in a timely manner.
  • agree to review the Parent-Student Handbook. I understand and will uphold my parent responsibilities as outlined in LPA’s Annual Acceptance of Policy, and other policies also contained in the Parent-Student Handbook•A Communication Folder (grades K-6) or Planner (7-9) will be provided for all students. If a communication folder or planner is lost the replacement communication folder or planner will be the responsibility of the student and parent.
  • Each student will be required to wear a school uniform. If accepted to LPA, I will ensure my child is in DAILY COMPLIANCE with the school uniform policy.
  • LPA does not provide transportation to and from school, We (parents) are responsible to drop off and pick up our child(ren) each school day within the specified time frame published in the school handbook.

I will follow the LPA communication model; specifically, I will take any concerns I have directly to the person most able to successfully address those concerns, and not to those who cannot address the concern.
