Parent Teacher Organization

The CKS Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) serves as a forum for parents and faculty to engage in volunteer, fundraising and social activities all with the shared intent of helping the school thrive as a consistent place for our children to learn, grow and be nurtured. As a parent/guardian of a CKS student, you are automatically a member of the CKS PTO. We hope you will find this page an evergreen resource to know how you can engage with the PTO, whom to contact about all things PTO-related, and whereto find information about ongoing events PTO is leading for our school!

CKS community is an engaged community, and the PTO is a consistent, fun and meaningful way to get involved! Whether you are new to CKS or know your way around…we want you to join us in our conversations and efforts!

The CKS PTO is led by an Advisory Committee of five parent members – Chair, Past Chair, Incoming Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer. Information about these positions can be found in the CKS PTO Rules and Recommendations, which guide the Committee in its service to the CKS community. The current Rules and Recommendations can be found HERE.

As a graduate of CKS myself, I know firsthand the wonderful things about Christ the King School. I am so thankful to be able to share this amazing school where I learned so much in my education and faith with my children.
