Oh, how fast things can
change!
by Principal Darel Hansen
T
his past July I moved
into the principal’s
office and prepared
for what certainly was going to
be my greatest challenge. It was a
move for which I have worked and
prepared. After my first semester I can
say it is everything I had hoped for. Martin
Luther King High School is a big school, and I never
know what each day will look like, but at the end of
the day I can’t imagine being anywhere else.

were pulled out and spoken to by one of their peers,
hopefully helping them to better connect with the
school. Our freshman failure rate dropped by 5% from
the first quarter to the end of the semester. This is just
a snapshot of all the programs we are offering to raise
student achievement here at King High School.
Parents, it may seem far off, but our California
Standards Tests (CST's) are just around the corner. King
High School has traditionally done well on this test,
hoisting the “trophy” as the top scoring school in the
city. If we are going to maintain that spot, we need to
work together. Please make sure your students are doing
their homework and doing all they can to score at the
advanced level. You will be hearing more from me as we
get closer to the April testing period.
Looking back over the past six

to measure growth, and we will take them again at the
end of the year helping us truly measure the impact
we made in each class. We have looked closely at our
intervention programs and how well they help students
who need extra attention. On numerous occasions we
have pulled teachers out of classes and allowed them to
go watch others teach. This has allowed teachers to see
and work with their peers, helping them to improve in
their specific area. This year we started working more
with our teachers of English Learners. We have sent
them to trainings and are now setting time aside for
them to work and collaborate with each other. This
should help them plan better lessons and learn from
each other. Our freshman intervention program took
another big step as we created the freshman summit
program. All freshmen that failed one or more classes

Martin Luther King Wolves Athletics
by Tony Masi, King High Athletic Director
“V
ictory with Honor” for King HS,
for California and the CIF Southern
Section. Character and athletics have
always been synonymous and Martin Luther King HS
wants to embrace the six pillars of character in all our
sports all year long. Responsibility, respect, fairness,
caring, trustworthiness, and citizenship are the six
pillars of character of CIF.
Martin Luther King HS has just been selected as
the Model School award recipient from the Big VIII
league for CIFSS “Shake for Sportsmanship” award.
King will have a representative group of student athletes accept the award at a Los Angeles Dodger game
later this year.
The Winter Sports 2012 school year will be a
challenge in the Big VIII league, and the King High
Wolves are showing great signs of healthy competition
and positive results. King HS is currently 1st this year
when all 8 schools totaled the success of their entire
21 different sports programs in Big VIII competition
for the Fall Sports. State and RUSD budget issues
mean more parent and community involvement will
be needed each season in order for Martin Luther
King HS to maintain the quality programs we have all

come to expect. Our seasonal sport parent meetings
are now more important than ever as we present and
explain RUSD fundraising policies for sports minded
parents and families.
VERY IMPORTANT - We should all take responsibility to keep our sense of dignity in all sporting circumstances, respect the rules and officials of
the game, and urge our teams on with positive cheers
by redirecting and discouraging those who engage in
unsportsmanlike behavior.
We can all be part of a message that interscholastic
athletics can be a positive, lifelong learning experience.
Support the King Wolves Athletic teams as we all are
together as one team. Good Luck, Wolves!

PTSA Needs Volunteers!
by Kay Klatt, 2011-12 PTSA President
We are looking for people to help run King
PTSA next year (2012-13). A number of
people on the elected board will be vacating
their current positions for a variety of reasons
-- term limits, graduating senior or other life
changes. The PTSA nominating committee’s
job begins at the end of January, and the committee will post the results of its search 30
days before our election meeting. If you are an
interested parent or student who would like to
serve on our executive board for 2012-2013,
please contact us through the office staff as
soon as possible. Our election meeting is
scheduled for March 28, 2012 at
8:30 AM in the Career Center -at this meeting, nominations will
also be taken from the floor. In
addition, PTSA has a number of
appointed positions which will be filled later
by the newly elected board.
As the first semester comes to an end,
PTSA is preparing another Honor Roll Ice
Cream Social to reward our honor roll students for their hard work. We always need lots
of volunteers for this event as we anticipate
serving almost 1,000 students. The date is
February 24th -- check the King website
for information and bring your ice cream
scoop!

PTSA if you would like to help with this
emotion filled event. Seeing the veterans
interact with the students makes us all proud
to be Americans!
PTSA knows that many of you support
your students and the school through the
various booster clubs on campus. We don’t
want you to be stressed beyond your means
-- teenagers and their activities can be very
time consuming. We only ask for you to support our “practically painless” fundraisers
by linking your Ralphs Card to M.L. King
PTSA at the Ralphs website, depositing your
electronic recyclables in the Cartridges for
Kids box at the bottom of the stairs in the
administration building and by participating
in our Spreebird online coupon program.
TESTING INFO
Curriculum
Analyzing Assessment
by Mike Rhodes, Assistant Principal Curriculum
Fear, panic, chaos-my job is done here! At this point
there is little doubt that you think I have gone “nuts”!!
There is some truth to that statement; however, my
intention is exactly the opposite. What I am referring
to is the upcoming CST’s (California Standardized
Testing), and our goal of reaching a very realistic
850 on the Academic Performance Index (API) this
school year.
So, why fear, panic, and chaos? More importantly,
why did I allude to the “opposite”? The upcoming
CST’s, which will be administered from April 17-27,
with a “kick-off ” assembly scheduled for April 16th,
are used in a variety of ways for our students.
The CST results are used in conjunction with
grades and other assessments
when creating the upcoming
schedule of classes for your
student. Also, remind and
reinforce to them that they
have a great deal of test taking
experience, and, specifically
the CST’s. We will be giving them daily “tips” to help
dissipate the natural
anxiety associated with
the CST’s. Test taking
strategies such as time
management, eliminating “distracter” answers
and other related skills
will be talked about
daily in preparation for
the CST’s.
It is imperative
that your student attend school daily during these
high stakes exams; please reinforce this with your
scholars. Also, the more we all speak with and prepare
our students for the CST’s, the less fear, panic, and
chaos they will experience. Confidence, calm, and
order will prevail!
The school and testing environment our students
face each day is dramatically different than the one
most of us “old” people experienced. Let us all help
and support them in every way possible.
Happy testing!!!!!!!!!
Registration for the 2012-13 School Year
by Kelli Paul, Head Counselor
T
he guidance department will begin registration for the 2012-2013 school year on
Tuesday, February 14. Counselors will visit
Literature classes where students will receive a copy of
their transcript and registration materials. Beginning
on February 22, students will meet with their counselor
to turn in the registration form and discuss scheduling
options. Registration forms and information will be
available on the school website for parents; just click
on the counseling section.
When helping your student select classes consider
the following points:
1.
Students must have earned a C grade or higher in
the areas of Math and Foreign Language in order
to move to the next level.
2.
Students that fail a high school graduation requirement must make up that class. Summer
school information
will be available the
middle of April.
3.
If students are
four-year college
bound, please
consult the A-G
requirements (students will be given a copy of this at the registration
presentation).
4.
Students must earn 215 credits in the required areas
(students will be given a copy of their transcript and
high school requirements during the registration
presentation).
5.
Four-year colleges are looking at the rigor of a
student's course load. Consider challenging your
student to take an AP or H level course.
