Greetings MLK Family!


I hope that each of you are enjoying this chilly Sunday afternoon and enjoyed some bracket busting basketball and here are your Sunday Notes:

Spring Testing Is Right Around the Corner- The SAT/PSAT  are standardized tests used by many colleges and universities in the United States. Preparing for the SAT sharpens your skills needed to be successful in college and skills that are needed for careers. The test itself is a valuable tool to improve your chances at getting into your desired college, understanding careers that need skills like yours, and securing your financial future.

The SAT/PSAT  can serve as a unique opportunity to showcase who you are and what you excel at. It helps you stand out among applicants with similar GPAs and extracurricular activities. Many colleges are test optional, and you should make the decision that will help most you during the college application process. Knowing what skills you excel at can also help you find a career that is a good fit or improve your skills for a career you have in mind. 

A bulk of scholarships─money that you don’t have to pay back─comes from colleges, like the Detroit Promise.  Your SAT scores can support you financially in college and may qualify you for certain institutional scholarships at colleges and universities. Other organizations and private companies that award scholarships may also require your test scores as part of their application.  Please take a look at the MLK Testing schedule and assist us in getting your student prepared for a BRIGHT future!

School Uniforms and After School Pick Up- As the weather gets warmer more and more students are not reporting to school in uniform. Please remember the MLK uniform is black and white. Students should not be reporting to school wearing grey pants, and halter tops. All students are asked to arrive to school in full uniform, students who are not maintaining this expectation will be asked to contact parents who can bring an appropriate change of clothes.  All students who are participating in after school activities are asked to be in place by 3:45pm sharp. Students not in their designated areas will be asked to wait outside for their rides. Let's honor these MLK expectations.

MLK Shout Outs-

The King Robotics team represented us well at the Michigan State Championship this past weekend.   They played their hearts out, and came home with the Rising All Star Award for the Hemlock Field.  This is the best finish ever for the King Robotics Team finishing in the top 100 teams in the state (which is the toughest region in the world).

If you see any of the students from the travel team - please let them know you are proud of their accomplishments.  They truly have had a record setting year for our school and our district.
