2019–2020 School Accountability Report Card

Vision
We guide students in their development to become confident communicators, openminded collaborators, critical thinkers, resilient problem solvers, and engaged global
citizens.

Mission
As a community school, our mission is to bring together and align essential resources to support
students and families in a safe, healthy, and culturally relevant environment. We balance a focus
on social emotional, creative, physical and academic skills to ensure that our students have all the
tools they need to be successful throughout their lives.

Bayside Martin Luther King, Jr. Academy is an TK-8 community school located in Marin City. Located
in a beautiful facility completed in 2009, we are blessed with small class sizes, exemplary teachers
and strong community support. We are committed to creating a culture where we connect with our past and voice our desires for our
future. We are the dreamers and doers of Bayside Martin Luther King Jr. Academy. We hold the
power to enact change and give back to ensure the success of our community.

We provide our students with a rigorous and developmentally appropriate curriculum based on the Common Core Standards.  Our course
offerings include Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Math, Physical Education, Music, Visual Arts, Mindfulness, and Garden. Our teachers provide individualized learning opportunities to our students. Technology is also deeply integrated into the curriculum with 1:1 access to a Chromebook for all students in grades TK-8.  

Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade students have access to a variety of after-school opportunities
including our new PEACE program on campus and community programs such as Bridge the
Gap College Prep (1st - 8th) and the Manzanita after-school program.

Our students enjoy a wide variety of extra and co-curricular activities. Students participate in
sports, robotics club, student council, yearbook, garden club, and extracurricular music and art
classes. Additionally, we have basketball teams that participate in the local middle school athletic league.

Our Conscious Kitchen meal program provides students with breakfast, lunch, and an after-school
snack each day that are organic and non-GMO and created with sustainable, locally grown food.
All of the food is prepared on site by school staff.

Bayside MLK is a thriving and engaging public school!
