A Note from Dr. Erin Prince

Welcome back! I hope your family had a great first day of school. It’s always a joy to see the excitement on students’ faces as they walk through the doors, greet their teachers, and reconnect with friends.

We’ve been capturing first-day moments across the district, and we’d love to share them with you! Watch our Facebook page for photos!

Here’s to a wonderful school year ahead!

Does your child take medication during the school day?

Visit the Health Services website and download the latest forms needed under the Medical Authorization Forms for your child to take medications at school. We can’t have the medication at school without it!

Credit Card Fees

Starting this month, a 4.5% convenience fee will be added to card payments made to CK Schools. This charge will help cover the rising expense of credit card processing fees and terminal licensing fees. You may still pay by cash or check without incurring any fees.
