Summer School- Greetings Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School Families,
I wanted to provide each of you with the latest and greatest Summer School Information.  Academic Credit Recovery is available for any current high school who has failed a course 1st or 2nd semester. All Summer School learning will take place virtually via the Edgenuity platform. If in-person support is needed, students are welcome to go to their school site to meet with their instructor from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. The site for MLK is Southeastern High School located at 3030 Fairview, Detroit MI 48214.  Transportation will not be provided for high school students during the summer. If a high school student needs to come on-site for support, bus passes will be provided at the Summer School site school.
