At CK Schools, learning doesn’t just matter for our students, it matters for our staff, too!

For example, paraeducators from across our district came together during our recent non-student days to learn, collaborate, and strengthen the support they provide to students every day. We also had the chance last month to celebrate several educators who earned or renewed their National Board Certification, a nationally recognized achievement that reflects their dedication to high-quality teaching and continuous growth.

We’re proud to be a district where both students and staff are always learning and improving. As we head into spring break, I hope your family enjoys some well-deserved rest and time together. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for the final stretch of the school year!
