Revisiting Expectations for Success at MLK!
Parents and students are reminded that if students fail to comply with the uniform policy the following consequences will be implemented:
1st incident- Student receives a warning/reminder to comply with the uniform policy
2nd incident- Parent contact
3rd incident- Detention assigned* (failure to serve will result in administrative action)
4th incident- Administrative discipline (e.g. suspension)
It is our top priority to have students in school and class daily. Please assist us by reminding students of both the rules related to the uniform as well as the consequences for failure to comply. Parental support in this effort is essential.
