The PTSA works hard to educate parents about programs and events that require funding to continue to improve the educational experience for our students. In order to keep parents adequately informed, the PTSA communicates information about these important programs and events that impact our students through different communication vehicles; PTSA web site, email, General Membership meetings, and the CKMS weekly newsletter.
1. The number one reason to join the PTSA is to benefit your child!
