The faculty and staff at King Middle School would like to welcome our students and families back to another exciting semester of teaching and learning! Last semester we began our “No C Campaign,” implemented “Love Redefined” character education, participated in multiple Junior Achievement fieldtrips at all grade levels, and saw our student athletes shine in football, softball and basketball. This semester, we look forward to academic success as our 8th graders prepare for the 8th Grade Writing Test on January 22, 2014. We would like to invite all of our parents to a Parent Conference Night on February 4th from 5PM-7PM where you will have the opportunity to speak with all of your child’s teachers about their success and progress. We are looking forward to a collaborative semester with King staff, students and parents. Welcome back!
