Reminders for the Week
What a fun and exciting day it will be for students and staff on the 31st! Classrooms will have Halloween activities, and the students are excited to be a part of all of this. The fun continues Monday night with Halloween Trick or Treating.
Wishing all the Bobcat families a spooky Halloween! Be safe and have fun!
Please see the information below so that you can stay caught up with what is happening at CTK!
We’re expanding!
As we continue to see growth in our student population at Christ the King, we are fortunate to add a teacher and class to our school enrollment. As a result, please note that we have been provided direction from the School Board to reconfigure Kindergarten classes to be compliant with the regulations set out by the Ministry of Education. With the addition of a new class, classroom teachers in Kindergarten will be better able to support all learners due to a decrease in class sizes. We know that change can be difficult, but we are fortunate for this new addition to our school.
Please join us in congratulating Ms. Jennifer Vrpoljac who joined our Kindergarten team as an additional Kindergarten teacher at CTK!
Spirit Wear: Christ the King: Due November 9th
Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences
We are now in the process of scheduling our parent-student-teacher conferences to discuss the Student Progress Reports for Kindergarten to Grade 8. These conferences are very important, as they are the first formal opportunity to discuss your child(ren)’s progress.
A paper copy form was sent home with the youngest or only in your family earlier this week. Please choose a preferred time frame for your family’s interviews and return the form back to school with the youngest or only in your family by Friday, October 28th. If you can’t make it on November 24th, please contact your child’s teachers directly to make alternate arrangements.
Emergency Drills
CTK had the remainder of the Emergency drills (lockdown and tornado) for the beginning of the school year. The students did an amazing job and the drills were very successful. These drills will be conducted in the Spring again. Congratulations, Bobcats!
Safety First
Please take some time to speak to your child about the difference between a trusted adult they can go to in case they need help, and stranger they should avoid. Also talk to your child about going home after school rather than “hanging out” so that parents/guardians know where their child is after school. In addition, parents should be monitoring their child’s online activity and ground rules for screen time should be applied.
Dress for the Weather
Please ensure your child is dressed for all types of weather. Our school goes outside outside in the cold, misty or light rain conditions to give students a break and some fresh air. Some students may still require a change of clothes. Please feel free to pack/send an extra set of clothes just in case it is needed and then the school will not need to call and interrupt your day for drier apparel.
