We're SO CLOSE to the last day of school! As we send off the Class of 2025 at graduations across our district this week, I want to take a moment to thank you for your partnership. These celebrations are a powerful reminder of all that’s possible when students are supported, encouraged, and given the opportunity to thrive.

One of the key messages we’ve shared this school year is the importance of attendance—and graduation is the ultimate goal. Helping students show up every day builds habits that lead to long-term success, both in school and beyond. Thank you for all you do to support that effort at home.

I hope you and your family enjoy a fun, safe, restful summer. We look forward to welcoming you back this fall!

June is Pride Month, a recognition of the history and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals. At CK Schools, we’re committed to creating safe, welcoming environments where every student feels a sense of belonging—not just this month, but all year long.
