Falcon Families,


October is upon us, bringing with it the crisp breeze of autumn and the spirited energy of a new season. As we transition into this vibrant month, our school continues to embrace the fresh opportunities and learning experiences ahead. I am heartened by the enthusiasm and adaptability of our students, staff, and the entire school community. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, let us celebrate the accomplishments of our students and recommit to our shared goal of fostering an enriching and supportive learning environment. Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our school's mission.

The federal funds from our Impact Aid survey help all our students and are used for basic education programs district wide.
Please complete this form as soon as possible. You can return the green paper form to your school, or complete the form online! Log into  PowerSchool Parent Portal to access the online forms for your students. You can learn more at https://www.ckschools.org/impactaid or email [email protected] with your questions.
