King Elementary

At Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School, we love our students! Our teachers, administrators and staff strive to provide the best culture and environment each day for every student and his/her parents.

Teachers work to engage students and offer support to parents by sharing about how to encourage their child’s school career. Parents are invited to participate whenever possible – volunteer, help within the classroom, join on field trips, eat lunch with their child, work on class projects, etc. In turn, King staff build long-term bonds with students over the years, and parents trust the staff.

As one of KCPS’ neighborhood schools, we offer a variety of different programs and services to help both the student and his/her family. As a trauma-sensitive school, our ultimate goal is that all students feel safe, welcome and supported.

Develop a life-long love of learning

Every day, our goal is to provide a culture where students can develop a life-long love of learning. As a one-to-one school, every student at King has his/her own technology device, allowing teachers to use innovative teaching opportunities to bring lessons to life.

Activities to make school fun and challenging

Community partnerships are very important at King. Organizations support our school by providing volunteers who assist every day with programs and activities to help make school both fun and challenging to all of our students.
