MAGNET NEWS
The new CHOICES brochure, which will include the magnet application for the 2011-12 academic year, will be mailed home to families who have previously applied to a magnet program during the 2nd week of November. Every LAUSD school will receive brochures during the 3rd week of November for distribution to all interested families who did not receive one in the mail. Come by the magnet office for an application. All magnet students wishing to continue participating in a magnet program for high school must submit a 2011-12 application by the December 17th deadline.

To assist families in choosing the best high school option, we will once again host a High School Informational Meeting on Wednesday, December 1st from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm in Room 136 and in our school library. All 8th grade families are encouraged to attend, as well as 7th grade families wishing to start early in learning about the various high school programs.

Plan on attending this informative event.
The next magnet parent meeting will take place on Monday evening at 6:00 pm in the King Library. We have a special presentation by one of our 6th grade magnet teams, Ms. Lay and Ms. Turcios, information about applying for high school magnet programs, and school and magnet updates. A Friends of King Magnet meeting to discuss and plan upcoming fundraising efforts will take place on the same day at 5:00 pm in the Parent Center. All are welcome to attend these meetings.
