Meet the Principal Ms. Rodriguez

 Welcome to King Elementary School!  I truly believe in our students, staff, and families.  Working together we can make a  positive difference  and impact the lives of our scholars.

As a community of educators, we believe that college readiness begins in preschool through fifth grade. “University Starts Now”  is our signature  program  that builds a foundation and a university-bound culture based on college awareness and motivation for all of our scholars. We have made a commitment to prepare our scholars for college by providing a strong academic curriculum that is based on state standards.  

King Elementary School also provides a unique Dual language learning experience for our scholars.   The mission of the Dual Language Academy is to promote bilingual fluency, biliterate, and bicultural 21^st century learners with highly rigorous instruction in both Spanish and English.  We prepare our scholars with the skills to compete in a global workforce.       

The King school community believes in strong parental engagement.  Parents are key decision makers serving on committees that support and create a climate where students thrive academically, socially and emotionally.  The King Parent University offers a variety of  parent classes such as Project 2 Inspire, Raising Highly Capable Kids,  Padres Unidos School Readiness (3-5 years), Parent Computer Classes and Parent Literacy Workshops. 

We cordially invite  you  to learn more about the academic  programs, extracurricular programs and services that make  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary a fun and great learning environment.
