Welcome back S.T.A.R's (Scholars Taking Acdemic Responsibility) of MLK! I take great pride in saying I have had to pleasure to serve the PUSD for over 5 years now. Right now we are all facing difficulities and challenging times due to COVID-19. It is very important that we focus on builing community. Community is a nonnegotiable foundation for learning—this isn’t new information. We know that we thrive best when we know that we belong to a community where we feel welcome, safe, and free to share their big ideas. Sure, building a community will look different in this coming school year—let’s face it: drastically different—but I am committed to making our community a foundation; a priority for every S.T.A.R scholar to take responsibility in their academic success. IT TAKES A VILLAGE! PARENTS I NEED YOUR HELP!
