Principal Letter
Celebrating MLK
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is important because it celebrates the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who fought for fairness and equality for everyone. Dr. King believed that all people, no matter their skin color, should be treated the same. He gave powerful speeches, like his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, inspiring people to work together peacefully to create a better, kinder world.
This day also reminds us to stand up against unfairness and treat others with respect and kindness. It’s a time to think about how we can make our school, neighborhood, and world a place where everyone feels included and valued. Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day teaches us about history, fairness, and the power of working together to solve problems peacefully.
Our goal at Tijeras Creek would be to emulate MLK and show kindness to the world. We need to work together to build community and support each other.
Pick up reminders
Parents, we have experienced some issues at the pick up area. Here are some of items to be aware of:
- Students are to be standing near the area where they are to be picked up (front or back)
- Adults/teachers are there to guide students and the students need to be respectful and follow their instructions.
- Students are not to sit on the cement bleachers but remain standing to expedite service
- Students must keep their toes behind white line and look for their car.
- Backpacks are to be closed (No Chromebooks out and being played with); be ready to go
- We do have these rules to keep everyone safe. The students have had this information shared with them this past week.
Thank you for your continued support in our efforts to maintain a safe and functional process for our students.
“The time is always right to do what is right.”
MLK
Let’s have a great week!
