January, 2012   January is the time for course registration and right now we are in the heart of registration and course selection for students.  Students should have completed online registration, using their 4 year high school plan to select courses that will challenge them academically and prepare them to be college ready and college successful.  Please reference our course guide on this link:   2012-2103 Course Guide           Open Enrollment closed and Legend will be approximately 1950 students large next year with our first 9th grade class of 500 students.  The excitement and opportunity at Legend is fantastic and we look forward to our continued success as our school and community grows.    Our winter sports are off to great seasons.  Wrestling, Girls Basketball, and Girls Swimming are competing very well and have made great strides in the Continental League.  Allison Arnold continues to lead our girls swim team into State and Brendan Vinyard is ranked 2nd in the 182 pound for wrestlers.  Our boys basketball team is currently ranked 8th in state and they are battling amongst the toughest league in the state, our Continental League, which boasts the number one team along with 4 other teams in the top ten for 5A boys basketball.   Girls basketball is competing in 5A Continental League with 6 teams ranked in the top ten.  The girls are battling and improving and our girls basketball program is on the rise.    Sadie Hawkins week is Jan 31- Feb 4.  We look forward to a spirited week of activities that not only increase school spirit; they also reach into the community through service and fundraising to help others.  Our Student Government has orchestrated many great traditions that make Legend a school that works for others as service leaders.   Our Performing Arts department is excited for our production of Grease on March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.  This musical will rock our theater and give us a look at high school through the lens of a classic production.  Come enjoy this great production with your family and sing along to many of the timeless songs.   As a school, we are navigating through these difficult economic times and are currently working with our budget figures to make difficult decisions.  We are committed to provide our students a comprehensive school with many opportunities to become college ready and explore their passions in electives and concurrent credit college classes.  We have formed an Academic Booster Committee to generate funds that would have been secured in the last bond election.  THE ACCOUNT IS A TAX DEFERRED 501(c)(3) ACCOUNT.  This committee will look at the needs of the school and through donations, will fund specific classes and technology to keep critical programs moving forward for students.  If you would like to make a tax deferred donation to Legend academics, please make you check payable to Legend Academic Boosters and send your check to our finance/bookkeeping.       If you would like to become a member of the Academic Booster Committee, please contact corey.wise@dcsdk12.org.  I will contact you to add you to our parent group that has created and will help determine priorities and allocation of funds.  Potential needs include, Calculus 111 and other Advanced Placement courses that may not be funded with current budget reductions, technology repair and replacements, etc.   Our next SAC, School Advisory Council, meeting is Wednesday, February 1st. I would like to invite you to attend and become part of our school. Please RSVP by calling 303-387-4504. Sincerely, Corey Wise
