January 2018 Newsletter
Happy New Year from the Team at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School!
In this month's newsletter we encourage you to pay special attention to the many opportunities to collaborate with us in support of your child. We also need your support as student's "recalibrate" and renew their individual and collective commitment to learning at school each day. Please support us by remind your children to come to school ready to engage with the King Principles where they are: Respectful (to adults, themselves, and their peers), Ready (to learn), Responsible (for their learning, actions and decisions) and Safe (in their interactions at all times).
The King Principles are applicable in all areas of their lives and we believe their commitment to engage with these principles will certainly set students upon for future success.
We are grateful for and appreciative of your partnership in support of our students!
