students arriving on first day at MLK middle school

Our beautiful and capable students are back in the classroom for the 2024-2025 School Year!

This year, students in transition grades (Kindergarten, Grade 6 and Grade 9, along with Renzulli 4th Graders and Betances STEM 5th Graders) began on Monday, August 26 with a half day. This allowed them to explore their new school buildings, meet their peers and teachers, and learn classroom expectations before other students arrived. Students and staff expressed their appreciation for this extra time to adapt!

All other grades began the year on Tuesday, August 27. Calling All Brothers, the Superintendent, members of the Hartford Board of Education, Hartford Police and others were at Martin Luther King Jr Middle School and Breakthrough Magnet School North to greet students with cheers, high-fives, and music as they arrived.

Thank you to all of our partners, families, staff and supporters who contributed to a successful first day of school!
