Weekly Announcements
April 15, 2018
Hello VAPA Community! This is Dr. Trimis with a few announcements! Tuesday is a shortened day. Hola comunidad VAPA! ¡Este es el Dr. Trimis con algunos anuncios! El martes es un día acortado.
This has been a busy and successful week for Legacy VAPA and we are looking forward to another busy and successful week!
First of all, a reminder to our community that though the Zone of Choice application window has closed, the Appeals process and one-time transfer process has begun. Any new student who wants to appeal their placement, if, for example, a student was given another school and wish to go to VAPA, they can appeal to the Zone of Choice. Also, if any student who is a current student at another Zone of Choice school, they may apply for a one-time transfer to come over to Legacy VAPA. We still have some openings, so please spread the word. We have forms in the office or they are located on the Zone of Choice website. Looking forward, we will hold a Community Open House alongside our regular Open House for newly enrolled, VAPA Class of 2022 students and families as well as prospective students and their families on May 3. Please also spread the word about this event.
This week several VAPA students and groups were busy with a stellar performance in the LAUSD Benefit for Arts Education, “We Are One”, last Thursday at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the Jazz Choir at a festival in Oceanside at Mira Costa College, Cheer Team in a competition on Saturday at Torres High School. We are proud of all of our students and student groups and wish them the best of luck on upcoming events. Congratulations also to stuents who were inducgted into the National Honor Society on Friday after a rigorous application process.
Don’t miss our Spring Musical, Aladdin, this week with performances on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7 pm.
A reminder our state testing, the SBAC tests, start this week. It is critical all of our students are at school every day. Testing will run through the end of the Advanced Placement tests in the middle of May which will be followed shortly after by semester finals.
Congratulations to all of our sports teams who continue to have excellent seasons this Spring. Please come out and support the baseball, softball, swim, cheer, track and field, and boys tennis teams at home or away games.
A reminder to students to be aware of new clubs, auditions, and other opportunities by listening to morning announcements, fliers on our bulletin boards, and checking our website and social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook which are linked on the website at www.vapalegacy.com
That’s it for now. Have a great week and I’ll see you at school!
Take Care,
