Welcome to the 2006-07 School Year!

September 6, 2006


Dear King Families,
On behalf of the King staff, I would like to welcome you to the 2006-07 school year. We hope your summer has re-energized you for an exciting year of learning and academic success for all students.

On the first day of school, we had an all-school assembly during which we introduced the Lifelong Guidelines and Lifeskills. The Lifelong Guidelines are:

• Trustworthiness • Truthfulness • Active Listening
• No Put-Downs • Personal Best

Personal Best is defined by the Lifeskills which include:
• Caring
• Common Sense
• Cooperation
• Courage
• Curiosity
• Effort
• Flexibility
• Friendship
• Initiative
• Integrity
• Organization
• Patience
• Perseverance
• Pride
• Problem Solving
• Resourcefulnes
• Responsibility
• Sense of Humor
It is our hope that you will use this same language in defining appropriate behavior. You will certainly hear more about the Lifelong Guidelines and Lifeskills in the upcoming months!

Last, I want to begin the year with a reminder that is not OK to park in the front of the school during pick up and drop off times. The rule is: Quick drop-offs and pick-ups only! Thank you for observing this important safety rule at King.

Let’s have a great school year! If you have questions, please ask us.
Sincerely,

Kevin Karr
