Hello Rising 10th Grade LMA Students,
Congratulations on completing your first year of high school! As you may know, LMA students take IVC Spanish 1 in the fall of their 10th grade year. For those of you who would like to get a head start, we encourage you to review Chapter 1 of Tu Mundo HERE.
Please keep in mind that you must earn a grade of C or higher in order to advance to Spanish 2. Your final grade will appear on both your LMA and IVC college transcript.
Important Note:
Since IVC Spanish 1 (and 2) are 5-unit college courses, classes will begin at 8:00am. If you are scheduled for a zero period, your teacher has been informed and you will be released early to attend your IVC class.
Thank you for taking the initiative to prepare for this advanced course. We’re excited to welcome you back in the fall!

LMA curriculum follows an advanced math pathway. Our teachers have compiled 7th grade and 8th grade resources for you to review over the summer:
Access Here: 7th Grade Math: Resources & Prep
At Legacy Magnet Academy, all 7th grade students participate in an accelerated math program that covers the second half of 7th grade math and the full 8th grade curriculum.
To support success in this rigorous course, students should be confident with key concepts from 6th grade and the first half of 7th grade math. We encourage students to review foundational topics over the summer to build confidence and start the year prepared.
Access Here: 8th Grade Math: Resources & Prep
At Legacy Magnet Academy, students who complete our accelerated 6th and 7th grade math courses will enter Algebra 1 in 8th grade—meaning they’ve already covered all of 8th grade math by the end of 7th grade.
To ensure a strong start in Algebra 1, students should review and master key 8th grade math concepts over the summer. Strengthening these foundational skills will help them feel confident, prepared, and ready for success.
Summer School information will be emailed directly to the student and email by the summer school program: TUSD, OCDE/PCHS.
LMA does not manage any summer school next steps or communications after applications are submitted.
Please contact the program that your application was submitted to.
Communications (including access information, content, etc.) are typically delivered closer to the start date.
