Weekly Parent Smore

Weekly Quote
“Behind every young child who believes in themselves is a parent who believed first.”
School Attendance
“Every school day counts! When students are present, they are learning, growing, and building the foundation for future success. Consistent attendance not only helps children stay on track academically, but also strengthens their confidence, friendships, and sense of belonging at school. Together, let’s make every day matter!”
Hispanic Heritage Month
“September 15–October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. At MLK, we celebrate the diverse traditions and stories that inspire our students and strengthen our community. Together, we recognize the value of heritage, family, and the lasting impact of Hispanic culture on our nation and world.”
School Safety
“The safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority. At MLK, we are committed to creating a secure learning environment by practicing regular safety drills, maintaining clear procedures, and working together as a school community. When students feel safe, they are free to focus on learning, growing, and achieving their very best.”
MLK PTA
“Our PTA plays a vital role in supporting the success of our students and school community. Through volunteer efforts, fundraising, and family engagement, the PTA helps create meaningful opportunities that enrich learning and strengthen the connection between home and school. We encourage all families to get involved—together, we can make a lasting impact for our scholars!”
Bus Transportation
“Riding the bus is an important part of many students’ school day. At MLK, we remind our scholars that safety, respect, and responsibility begin the moment they step on the bus. By following bus rules, listening to the driver, and showing kindness to one another, our bus riders help ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone.”
“Bus safety is everyone’s responsibility. At MLK, we expect our scholars to stay seated, keep voices at a respectful level, and follow the driver’s directions at all times. These simple rules help ensure that every student arrives to and from school safely. When we practice bus safety, we protect ourselves, our friends, and our community.”
