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.
Help the School earn free money! CKCS participates
in several programs to earn cash and equipment for the school by collecting certain items and redeeming them to benefit the
school. Please follow the links on the sidebar for more information on how you can help.
Script Program Information
Back to School Information
Dear Parents, Thank you for your devotion
to your child's education and faith formation. We had some wonderful parent meetings during the first days of school.
I appreciate that many of you attended more than one meeting. The children at Christ the King Catholic School are a wonderful
group of polite and dedicated children. I have observed this in the classrooms, before school, at lunch recess, after
school and in the community. We are blessed to have a wonderful group of students and we are also blessed to have such
outstanding, qualified and competent teachers guiding and teaching them. Lifetouch Pictures
Lifetouch School Portraits will be at CKCS on Thursday, September 9, to take individual and class pictures (in uniform).
You will receive a proof of your child's individual picture to review before placing your order. However,
the class pictures must be pre-ordered and a $10.00 payment is due on September 9. An envelope for payment
of class pictures will be sent home on September 8. Please be sure to return this envelope with your payment on September
9 if you wish to order a class picture for your child. PTO Meeting Please
make plans to attend our fall PTO Meeting scheduled for Thursday, September 23, at 7:00 p.m. in the Gym. Our guest speaker
will be Father Ernest Hyndman, Jr. from St. Agatha Catholic Church in Bay Minette. He will speak on "What it means
to be a Catholic Parent." Please join us. Providence Health
Screening Providence Hospital Outreach Services will be screening all students at CKCS. The screening
dates are October 4th, 6th and 7th. If your child wears glasses or contacts, please
make sure they are wearing them that week. Students will be screened for vision and hearing (K-8) and scoliosis (6th,
7th and 8th only). If you do not wish to have your child screened, please submit written
notice to the school nurse prior to testing dates. Moms in Touch
I invite you to join our Moms in Touch group, which meets each Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. in the Immaculata Center.
This group supports CKCS students and faculty through prayer. - Just a reminder, we have purchased
a site-license for the Encyclopedia Britannica. This service is available through our web page at www.ctheking.org. It is a good site for research as it has four different information levels tailored to elementary, middle, high school
and pre-k to 2nd reading levels. There are also dictionaries, atlases, videos, and time lines available,
so please take advantage of this service.
Rainbows for all God's Children is a support program
for CKCS students who have experienced a painful loss or grief in their lives. It is necessary for emotional healing to take
place after a significant change in the family. The purpose of the support group is to provide students an opportunity to
share their feelings in a safe environment supported by trained, caring adults. For more information contact Mrs. Lisa McDuff.
Permission slips are available through classroom teachers.- Please remind students that forgotten lunches,
books, homework, etc. must be picked up from the shelf in the hall outside the front office.
- Medication
that is required during the school day must be administered in the health room and prescribed by a physician. Please follow
the procedures outlined in the Parent Student Handbook (on our web page at ctheking.org) before you send medication to school.
- Parent/teacher
communication is the key to a successful school experience for your child. When you have a concern or a question about the
progress of your child, check EdLine, send an email to the teacher, or call the office to make an appointment with the teacher.
The teacher will return your call and set up a time that is convenient for both of you. If the issue is not resolved after
the meeting, you should call and make an appointment to meet with me.
- God has blessed us in many ways and
has asked us to share with those who are in need. Our new Student Council and advisors are in charge of the monthly outreaches
and are looking forward to your support. Our monthly outreach for September will be for Sister Julie and Eastern Shore
Affordable Housing.
Labor Day Holiday Please note from
the enclosed September calendar that on Monday, September 6, there will be no classes due to the Labor Day Holiday.
We will keep all CKCS families in our prayers during the year and ask that you do the same.
Sincerely, Maxwell Crain Principal
