MKU Parents and Guardians - Students are going home today with 4 important documents. Some of these documents need to be signed and returned to your student's advisory teacher this week.
See below for information about each form and if/when they need to be returned by.
Thank you!

1) Parent Perception Survey: These are incredible important for our school's funding. We need an 80% return rate. Please fill the survey out and make sure that your student's name is on the top of the survey. There are English and Spanish versions available - please reach out to your student's advisory teacher if you are in need of a different language.

2) School / parent compact: This requires a signature from the student, one from the parent, and one from the teacher. They are copied front and back in English and Spanish.

3) Student Behavior Contracts: This needs to be signed and returned by Friday the 20th. We use these to inform parents of our behavior expectations during quarter 4 as we have upcoming testing, field trips, and fun end-of-the-year activities!

4) Student testing letters: These do not need to be signed. This form has important AASA dates so our students don't miss school or schedule any appointments during testing. This will ensure students arrive prepared to take the test and will reduce the number of make ups.

Thank you for your dedication to MKU and our wonderful Yellowjacket students!
