Our
vision is to make a lifelong impact on every student who passes through our doors.
Christ the King Catholic School has served the Eastern Shore of Mobile
Bay for 60 years. We are committed to providing an excellent standards-based education with a strong emphasis on spirituality
and Christ-like behavior. We strive to prepare our students to be responsible, informed, capable and active citizens of the
21st century.
Christ
the King Catholic School is dedicated to fostering the spiritual, cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth of our
students. We accomplish this by providing a loving, nurturing, stimulating, and safe environment where students are encouraged
to explore and question as they discover their strengths and talents, and appreciate the same qualities in others.
We provide sound academic preparation and
a curriculum intended to help each child grow and develop as a responsible, competent, confident person with self-discipline,
and a commitment to the principles of justice and peace.
February Letter from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Thank you for the support you have given to CKCS during the month of January. It has
been another busy month with many activities. We are beginning the month of February by celebrating Catholic Schools Week
and completing registration for the 2010-2011 school year.
Catholic
Schools Week Schedule
We will celebrate Catholic School's Week from January 31 - February 5. We look
forward to seeing you at the Pot Luck dinner/Bingo on Wednesday, February 3, and hope you will join us for the all-school
Mass at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, February 5.
Registration 2010 - 2011
I
am grateful to all who have returned registration and fees. If you do not return the registration forms and fees, your child
will not be placed on the 2010-2011 class list. Their places will be given to another child. It is our wish that Catholic
education is available to all Catholics who desire to receive it, irrespective of their financial situation. Open Applications
for students entering Kindergarten for next year will be accepted on February 9th and for Grades 1-8 on February 10th.
Tuition Assistance
During this tough economic time, providing your child with a Catholic
Education is more of a sacrifice than it ever has been. Christ the King Catholic School uses the FACTS program to determine
if a family qualifies for tuition assistance. This is an online application that must be completed before any assistance
can be given. The assistance given to families comes from the school (Sister Maureen Scholarship Fund) and will only cover
tuition, not registration fees. Since we are a Catholic School, we do not receive any federal funds or grants to help with
tuition. We have a limited amount of money that can be given to qualifying families. Please complete the online application
or contact the school office for more information.
First Communion Parent Meeting
This meeting is for the parents of our students who will receive their First Holy Communion in April. The meeting will
be held on March 2 at 7:00 p.m. in Assumption Hall. Child care will be provided.
Iowa
Test
The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) will continue to be administered to students in Grades 2-7 - testing
dates are March 1 - 11. Make sure your children get plenty of rest, eat a good breakfast and come to school relaxed. We
will let you know when you can pick up the results.
Library Renovations
Upgrades to the Library were completed during January. New carpet and tile was installed, along with new paint, murals
and cleaning. Stop by to see what a fresh new look we have in this area!
Messages
and Reminders
When you see an email message from Alerts@useiris.com, please read it as it is from our Immediate
Response Information System. This is how we will communicate with you when we have some important reminder to send. It is
also the system we will use to leave a phone message with you if we have an emergency.
Volunteer

Once again we thank all who donated their time and talent in December and January. You help make CKCS
a wonderful place to be. Total volunteer hours for these two months total 474 hours.
