Feeling Sick?
Any student or staff member feeling sick should stay home to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. As a reminder, CKMS also offers free Covid-19 testing on Fridays here on campus. Sign up at AlohaClear.com to register. 
Daily Wellness Check
Students and staff can use this daily wellness check before coming in to school each day. 
Updated Info
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This follow-up message is to clarify a line about updated quarantine guidance that was included in the letter regarding our transition to distance learning. 
Due to an editing error from the Communications Branch, the phrase “if fully vaccinated” was inadvertently left off of the guidance for students ages 5-17. That sentence should say:
Under the guidance, if a student ages 5-17 is exposed to a positive case (identified as a close contact), they can attend school and do not need to quarantine if fully vaccinated.
Apologies for any confusion this may have caused. Please reference the updated Daily Wellness Check and Return to School/Work Criteria flyer for full details.
State Supt. Message - Dated 1-3-22
Here is the latest message from Interim State Superintendent Keith Hayashi about returning to school amidst the new Omicron Covid-19 variant. 
CKMS Return to Learn and COVID-19 Safety Updates
