Welcome Parents to 2015-16 School Year!
“All Hands On Deck!”

My name is Jayda Atkinson and I am your Parent Liaison. I am very excited to begin this journey with you; working alongside you so that you may become a partner in the educational process.  This is my first year here at King High School for Science and Technology – not my first year serving the community – throughout my career in the community I have found that each person has an individual story to tell. I will be here to guide you in expressing your part as a leader in your own child’s future.

It is my promise to you to work with you so that we can reach the key to student success!  We have an open door policy and will be glad to assist you with any questions you may have.  As your Parent Liaison, my goals are to motivateempower and assist you by creating wonderful programs and events that adhere to the curriculum in addition to being thematic, innovative, and memorable.

 As a proud mother myself, I truly understand that time is valuable.  We will be offering programs for you with your busy schedules in mind. There will be many opportunities to engage you including before school, during school, after school and on Saturdays!

It’s my pleasure to be able to assist you with following services(not limited to):

  • Use of computers
  • Community resources and referrals
  • Workshops, trainings, and meetings
  • Bridge the gap between school, teachers, and parents
  • Translate/interpret for conferences, meetings, letters, etc.
