Hello VAPA Community! This is Dr. Trimis with a few announcements! ¡Hola Comunidad de VAPA! Este es el Dr. Trimis con algunos anuncios!
We are continuing teaching and learning online this week as I hope to continue to answer questions and provide more support for our students as well as the teachers who teach them. This week we celebrate National Teachers Week with National Teachers Day being Tuesday. Please give a shout-out or a thank you to your teachers this week! One of my early mentors in education, in the classroom and as a school leader, was Jon Liechty, the first principal I worked with as a full-time teacher at Berendo Middle School in the 80’s. Mr. Liechty always said, whenever he got the chance, that the classroom teacher is the most important person that works for the school district because their reach is far and the impact they make on kids’ lives on a daily basis is more than anyone else in our educational system. And I agree and this has guided my work as a school leader. Teachers matter and we should thank them for their service whenever we can and support them in any way we can. So, to the VAPA teachers, and teachers, everywhere, we salute you!
Our Open Enrollment Period starts tomorrow. Please tell a friend or refer a family with an 8th grade student. Our goal is to maintain or grow our enrollment by the Fall so we can keep all of our programs and wonderful educators at VAPA! Our letters and calls for accepted students go out this week. We welcome our newest VAPA Tigers, the Class of 2024, to our wonderful school! More info on enrollment is on our website.
In addition to honoring our teachers this week, this is a busy and fun week for us at Legacy VAPA with some special highlights. Monday is PJ Day, Tuesday is Stuffed Animal day, Wednesday is Self-Care Day, Thursday is Netflix and Quarantine Day, and Friday is Tiger Spirit Day.
On Tuesday we will host a special Cinco de Mayo celebration on Zoom which will be linked on our website and social media platforms late Tuesday afternoon. On Friday, our jazz and show choir continues their guest speaker series with a live look inside a recording studio in Seattle, Washington.
If you have any questions about senior events, refunds, or anything else, please check the LAUSD website at www.lausd.net , the VAPA website at www.vapalegacy.com , or www.bit.ly/vapaonline for updates.

Senior Announcements (4/30/20)
April 30, 2020
Dear VAPA Seniors and Parents or Guardians,
We are now in the last month and a half of the school year and I have some updates for you. I’m sure you agree this has been an unprecedented time for all of us and I am sure not the way our seniors wanted to close their last year of high school. We are finding answers to questions as soon as possible and are working on plans to honor our seniors in a few different ways including signs and messages online.
We have been featuring seniors on our social media sites and website. We are asking ALL seniors to send a photo and plans for college or whatever they will be doing after high school. We need these as soon as possible, ideally before Friday, May 1, so they may be featured in the slide show we are sending to LAUSD to be posted on the LAUSD website. Please send photos and information to Ms. Dadrass at pxd9265@lausd.net.
We are planning virtual or online events for Cinco de Mayo, Senior Awards and Recital, and the National Honor Society Induction. Please look for updates and information on these and any other activities on our website at www.vapalegacy.com , the online website at www.bit.ly/vapaonline, and our social media sites. For planning purposes, these events will be celebrated on or near the traditional dates.
We are looking at a few options for graduation and are awaiting for district approval to move forward including a virtual or online ceremony and some other innovative ideas. As soon as they are approved, we will survey our seniors and families to decide which way we will go.
Please note the following regarding senior dues and refunds. Grad Nite which was a PTSA-sponsored event, was cancelled by Disneyland and refund checks have been mailed out to seniors. The Prom and Panorama Picture have been cancelled. Refund checks for these activities are being written, based on what students paid, and will be distributed as soon as possible, probably next week. T-Shirts and Sweatshirts have already been distributed and the Yearbook is still being produced, so there will not be refunds for these items. Yearbooks will not be done until the Fall and we will have a distribution and signing day when they are ready.
We are so proud of our seniors and all their accomplishments. We hope you will do all you can to stay physically and emotionally fit over the rest of the year, through the summer, and into next year. As difficult as this is, especially for our seniors, this definitely will be a year to remember.
Please also be sure to check our website regularly and utilize our social media platforms for updates (Website www.vapalegacy.com, ONLINE Website www.bit.ly/vapaonline, Facebook www.facebook.com/VAPAHS, Twitter https://twitter.com/vapa_at_legacy, and Instagram www.instagram.com/vapa_at_legacy).

Online learning is a legitimate form of instruction and can be effective, but students and their teachers must be engaged and participate for the system to work.
Grab N Go centers, like the one at South Gate High School, will be open next week from 7am-11am. Thousands of meals were served last week.

Hello VAPA Community! This is Dr. Trimis with a few announcements! This week these is no school on Monday as we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Tuesday is a regular day.
¡Hola Comunidad VAPA! ¡Este es el Dr. Trimis con algunos anuncios! Esta semana no hay clases el lunes, ya que celebramos la vida y el legado del Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. El martes es un día normal.
The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Jan. 20, 2020, marks the 25th anniversary of the day of service that celebrates the Civil Rights leader's life and legacy.
With profound faith in our Nation's promise, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., led a non-violent movement that urged our country's leaders to expand the reach of freedom and provide equal opportunity for all. Dr. King joined a long line of heroes and vindicated the belief at the heart of our founding: that humble citizens, armed with little but faith, can come together to change the world and remake an America that more closely aligns with our highest ideals.
Dr. King recognized that, as a country built on the foundation of self-governance, our success rested on engaging ordinary citizens in the work of securing our birthright liberties. Together, with countless unsung heroes equally committed to the idea that America is a constant work in progress, he heeded the call etched into our founding documents nearly two centuries before his time, marching and sacrificing for the idea of a fair, just, and inclusive society. By preaching his dream of a day when his children would be judged by the content of their character -- rather than by the color of their skin -- he helped awaken our Nation to the bitter truth that basic justice for all had not yet been realized. And in his efforts, he peaceably yet forcefully demonstrated that it is not enough to only have equal protection under the law, but also that equal opportunity for all of our Nation's children is necessary so that they can shape their own destinies.
Today, we celebrate the long arc of progress for which Dr. King and so many other leaders fought to bend toward a brighter day.
Please enjoy your day on Monday with family and friends and in service in commemoration of Dr. King. I’ll see all of our students and staff back at school on Tuesday.

The latest grading window has opened and teachers will be posting grades soon. This is a good time for all of our students to be sure they are caught up on their work in every class and they are seeking tutoring or additional help if needed. The end of the semester will be upon us before you know it. Our goal is for every student to pass their classes with a C or better, however, to be competitive for college, students should be working towards earning A’s.
Thank you to our staff and students who put together our events last week for Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos. Check out the videos and photos on our website and social media links at www.vapalegacy.com

Hello VAPA Community! This is Dr. Trimis with a few announcements! Monday is a late-start day. Hola Comunidad VAPA! ¡Este es el Dr. Trimis con algunos anuncios! El lunes es un día de comienzo tardío.
Thank you to all of our students, teachers, and staff who assisted with last week’s myriad of activities from our professional development to the administering the PSAT to all of our 9th and 10th graders and some 11th graders, to our earthquake drill, to the Homecoming Pep Rally, Football Games, and Dance on Saturday. And thank you to our teachers who have been so supportive of our students while implementing our instructional program with fidelity during such a hectic week!
This week we will have our Fall Student-Led Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday from 5 to 7 pm. This is an opportunity for parents and guardians to check their student’s progress in every class. It is critical we have all of our parents participate. Our goal is every student pass all of their classes with a C or better, but realize the the best grades are what is needed for students to be competitive in their college applications.
The deadline for Household Income Forms is soon. We need to collect these forms from every household because thousands of dollars in federal and state funding is at stake if we do not submit them to the district. Funds for teacher assistants, educational field trips, classroom funding, and funding for teachers to lower class size, and other staff are all at ricks for being cut if we do not get the forms in. Please note your responses are entirely confidential and the forms are only used to verify our school as a whole is eligible for the thousands of dollars we receive in categorical funds. We still have almost 100 forms to collect as of tonight.
We also need to have all of our senior contracts returned signed this week.
Lastly, this month eighth graders and their parents in our community are selecting their high school through the Zone of Choice process. Please spread the good news about Legacy VAPA so we can maintain our enrollment and continue to offer all of the excellent programs we offer.
