A Message from Principal Jadue

Hello MLK Family & Friends, 

My name is Moris Jadue, and I will be your new principal. I started my educational  journey in 2005 with teaching in the fields of Spanish and Integrated Social Studies at  the high school level. In 2017, I changed roles and accepted a position as an assistant  principal. In that time, I grew my experience, knowledge, and skills so that I could earn  my most exciting opportunity, Principal of MLK. I am thrilled to be part of such a great  school and to work with the amazing staff. 

My goal is to make MLK a place where students, staff, and the community want to  engage with and improve. This goal is reflected in our Positive Behavior Intervention  and Support (PBIS) guidelines, “Be Safe, Be Respectful, & Be Responsible!” With your  support in helping us reaffirm these values, I believe that we can succeed together. I  am looking forward to meeting our students and families. Let this be the start of a great  new era for Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary. 

I believe in our school! 

I believe in our staff! 

I believe in our community!  

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your principal. 

Respectfully, 

Mr. Moris Jadue

MLK Principal

Hola familia y amigos de MLK: 

Me llamo Moris Jadue y seré su nuevo director. Empecé mi camino educativo en 2005  impartiendo clases de español y estudios sociales integrados en la escuela secundaria.  En 2017, cambié de puesto y acepté un puesto como subdirector. Durante ese tiempo,  adquirí experiencia, conocimientos y habilidades para obtener mi oportunidad más  emocionante: ser director de MLK. Estoy encantado de ser parte de una escuela tan  excelente y de trabajar con personal increíble. 

Mi objetivo es hacer MLK un lugar donde los estudiantes, el personal y la comunidad  quieran engranar y mejorar. Este objetivo se refleja en nuestras directrices de  Intervenciones y apoyos para la conducta positiva (PBIS acrónimo inglés), ¡Sea  Seguro, Sea Respetuoso y Sea Responsable!". Con su apoyo para reafirmar estos  valores, creo que juntos podremos tener éxito. Tengo muchas ganas de conocer a  nuestros estudiantes y familias. Que este sea el comienzo de una gran nueva era para  Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary.  

¡Creo en nuestra escuela!  

¡Creo en nuestro personal! 

¡Creo en nuestra comunidad! 

Gracias por la oportunidad de ser su director.
