The Cobra Connection November 2017
Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School Monthly Newsletter-
A message from our Principal
It's Fall, Y'all! Can you believe we are just a few weeks away from the end of the quarter? As we prepare to close the books on Quarter 1, we want to encourage every parent to be on the look out for an invitation to Parent -Teacher conferences scheduled for November 10th. While conferences will take place all day, we only have a limited number of slots available. We have prioritized meeting with specific families to address some very specific student needs on November 10th but want every family to be aware that we are happy to schedule times which are convenient for you to meet to address student academic concerns at any time. Another opportunity will be presented to schedule conferences on December 8th for families who are interested. Please use the memo that comes home this week to let us know how we can be helpful. We are here to serve you.
There's lots happening this month at MLK MS and so much to celebrate! Please review the newsletter closely so that you don't miss out on any opportunities to support us as we continue our quest to create a GREATER MLK!
Yours in Service,
Mrs. Floyd-Cooper
