2016-2017 SCHOOL THEME
Our school theme for this school year is APPROVED! It is based
on Galatians 1:10:
Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God? Or am I
trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would
not be a servant of Christ.
We live in a world that predominately doesn’t know Jesus as
their Savior, nor acknowledge his love in their lives. God has
given us the privilege and responsibil-ity to share the gospel with
the world around us. One way we let our light shine is the way we
live our lives. We don’t live a Godly life to please people in the
world around us, but rather in recognition of and thankfulness for
God’s love in our lives. To God be the glory!
APPROVED!
Part 1: Declared Righteous by one Gospel (Galatians 1:8)

GRADE DIVISIONS AND STAFF
Special Thanks!
During this past school year, several part-time teachers and
aids assisted our multi-grade classrooms. Their assistance not only
helped our teachers, but they also helped educate our students in
several areas.
Mrs. Bloom taught kindergarten math and reading Monday-Thursday
mornings.
Mrs. Bingham taught 2nd grade spelling and gave 5th-6th spelling
tests.
Mrs. Hintz taught 2nd grade reading, 5th-8th grade reading,
creative writing, and Phy Ed.
Mrs. LaPoint taught 5th-8th music and art.
Mrs. Sarro served as our school librarian.
The hard work and dedication of these wonderful women has helped
our school immensely. We thank God for you!
This coming school year, Mrs. LaPoint and Mrs. Hintz will
continue to teach a few classes in 5th-8th to provide Mr. Hintz
administrative release time. Mrs. Sarro will continue to serve as
our school librari-an. The classes taught by Mrs. Bloom and Mrs.
Bingham will be taught by Mrs. MacDonald and Mrs. Hoffman. Thank
you Mrs. Bloom and Mrs. Bingham for your service to the Lord at
Christ the King!
New 1-2 Teacher
On March 6, Christ the King’s voting mem-bers extended a Divine
Call to Mrs. Erica Hoffman to fill our 0.75 FTE (Full Time
Equivalency) 1st-2nd grade position and two 5th-8th classes next
school year. Mrs. Hoffman accepted the position. We are excited to
have her join our staff.
Mrs. Hoffman is married to Mason and they have two children
(Olivia and Cade). The Hoffman family will be moving from Hawaii to
Washington in the middle of July. Adding Mrs. Hoffman to our staff
will allow all core classes for K, 1-2, and 3-4

graders to be taught by sepa-rate teachers. This will in-crease
instruc-tion time and improve the quality of edu-cation offered in
our class-rooms. We thank God for allowing us to call another
teacher, to help
improve the education offered at Christ the King, and ask his
continued blessing on our efforts of sharing the gospel and
providing excellence in education.

King's preschool - eighth grade is one school, existing on one
campus, carrying out one mission. We show our unity in a variety of
ways, and we'd like our Face-book page to do the same.
We'd like all our CtK followers to like our Christ the King

SCHOOL ACCREDITATION In April 2017, Lord-willing, we will
com-plete our School Accreditation process. School Accreditation is
a wonderful pro-cess that strengthens a school by ensuring
procedures and policies are in place to keep the school operating
efficiently and long term goals are created to ensure the school
has improvement plans for the future.
In April, a site visit team will come and assess the self-study
that has been written by our Board of Education, staff,
congre-gation members, and school families. Up-on completing the
Accreditation process, we will receive a certificate of
Accredita-tion through our Synod’s accrediting body, Wisconsin
Evangelical Lutheran Synod School Accreditation (WELSSA). WELSSA is
accredited by the National Council of Pri-vate Schools Association
(NCPSA).
The Board of Education will ensure our school continues to move
forward by re-vising and implementing a School Im-provement Plan
that will be submitted to the Commission on Lutheran Schools (CLS)
office each June. After five years, the en-tire Accreditation
self-study is repeated. School Accreditation is a great way to
en-sure our school if following proven, good practices, as well as,
having a school im-provement plan that is revised annually.
CLASSROOM REMODEL Here we GROW again! God is blessing CtK’s
enrollment. How exciting. God be praised! We’re adding a new
teacher to our staff, which means we need another classroom. The
day after school was over, we began our classroom remodel project.
We removed part of the wall between the library and workroom and
built a new wall to make a smaller workroom and L-shaped classroom.
The project is nearly complete and the teachers have begun setting
up their classrooms.
This new classroom will become our pre-school classroom. Mrs.
Paulsen is excited to have her class in the main school build-ing,
so her class can be more connected to the lower grade students in
our school. The 5th-8th classroom will become the new 1st-2nd
grades classroom. The 2nd-4th class-room will become the 3rd-4th
classroom. The K-1st classroom will become the Kin-dergarten
classroom. The 5th-8th graders will move to what was the preschool
class-room last year. Mr. Hintz is excited to have a larger
classroom for his four grades. This move will also create a little
bit of a “junior high feel” for our upper grade students.
A special thanks goes out to the individuals that gave of their
time and energy to com-plete this project in a month.
We’ve pass all inspections and are free to occupy the remodeled
spaces.
