PTO Communication
The PTO Points newsletter will be sent out every Thursday via the school messenger. It will be included in the CIS newsletter with a direct link. Click on the link to be directed to our weekly newsletter (blogsite). There have been some delays in the newsletters over the past few weeks due to the beginning of the school year transitions. Sorry for any inconveniences that this may have caused. This week's newsletter is a recap of the week before since many parents have not seen it. You may also read the week's prior PTO Points for any information that you may have missed.


Another good source of communication is the Kings Parents - Class of 2022 & 2023 Facebook pages. These are solely parent run pages, and are not produced by PTO or CIS. They were formed by parents to help children and parents get to know each other and share information. To join these pages, click on the link below to submit your email and an administrator of that page will need to add you as a member.

Our first PTO meeting of the year took place two weeks ago. It was a successful meeting with a great turnout. Feel free to read the PTO Meeting Minutes below if you were not able to attend. Our next meeting will be Thursday, October 8th at 7pm in the Art Room.
