Comments re: Contacting the School: All visitors must report to the office for a visitor's pass and a map of the school. All visitors must check in at the office prior to going to a classroom. Visitors should try to visit on Mondays or Thursdays in the morning. Thursdays are an excellent day because visitors may then attend a grade level or staff meeting also.

Key to the reform effort at MLK is instructional dialogue built on a foundation of professional trust. more »
