welcome back to school

Welcome Back!

I hope your summer has been filled with many blessings! I want to welcome back our many returning families and warmly welcome our new students. We feel privileged to learn, pray, and play with your children every day!

At Christ the King Elementary, our dedicated teachers are passionate about providing a well-rounded education that inspires and challenges our students. Our curriculum is designed to meet the highest academic achievement standards while promoting critical thinking, creativity, and a love of learning. We strive to cultivate a positive, faith-filled school culture emphasizing virtues and Gospel values.

A strong partnership between school and families is essential for each child's growth and success, so we encourage you to reach out anytime with questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for being actively involved with your child’s education and entrusting us with their care at school.

Postcards from your child's teacher have been mailed. Let the school office know if your child does not receive one by August 7th.

Principal

Note from Fr. Rutten:
Concerns have been brought to me regarding the playground. I do not want our students or parishioners hurt because of the dangerous conditions, but we do not have the resources to do a complete overhaul of the parking lot at this time. Upgrades and patchwork have been made for the safety of all. I look forward to seeing you this school year. God bless!
