Magnet Families,
First and foremost, I wish a happy 2010 filled with many good things for all of you and your families. The King Magnet is a special place, one that provides students with a top-notch educational experience which would not be possible without the support each of you give every day to your child and our school. We look forward to our continued partnership in fostering our students’ continued academic growth and achievement.
We are back in full swing with just a few more weeks in the fall semester - the last day is Friday, February 5th. Report cards with final grades will be mailed home the following week. If you have any concerns regarding your child’s academic achievement, please contact Ms. Weir, our magnet guidance counselor at (323) 644-6749 or by email at [email protected]. Second semester begins Monday, February 8th and will end with the last day of classes on Thursday, June 24th. I
Here are a few items of interest:
This first link connects to an article in the Los Feliz Ledger highlighting the King Magnet’s participation in the National Geographic Bee. Our school champion was featured in the article who will now go on to compete at the next level in a written exam with the chance to advance to both the state and national levels.

Our next magnet-wide parent meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 20th at 6:00 p.m. in the school library. Parent meetings are planned for every third Wednesday of the month - same place, same time.
Once again, thank you for your continued support. Know that my door is open to you. I welcome any opportunity for dialogue about how we can continue to support our students in this new year.
Warm regards,
Carlos
