Great Leadership Position for Students

Missing out on the Leadership elective? Want to learn more about management, civic involvement, or service? Nominate yourself for the SDM. See the note below:

Dear 8th Grade Students,

We are looking for students to be a part of the School Decision Making Council. The School Decision Making Council or SDM for short, is a committee formed of school and community members. It is made up of the principal, teachers, parents, and four students (you!) of Thomas Starr King Middle School. SDM reviews and changes bell schedules, uniforms and dress codes, addresses issues on campus (bullying, school culture, students’ needs). This is a forum to bring positive change on campus. The committee meets once a month, and for the time being, be on zoom. If you would like to nominate yourself for SDM, please fill out the attached Google Form by Wednesday, September 16th.

Thank you,

Mr. Laguna

SDM Co-chair
