A Note from the Principal
- Marquette will be in session on April 18th (Easter Monday), as a make-up day. RISE and Shine (Donuts) will be moved to April 25th.
- Lunch is open for March and will close on February 25th at 5 PM.
Due to the snow day last Thursday, February 3; our business office is working to process hot lunch refunds. These refunds will be processed during the first week of March.
If you prefer to not receive a refund, and have your funds serve as a donation towards the teacher and staff appreciation celebration in May, email Stephanie Jimison at sjimison@christthekingcatholic.church, no later than Friday, February 18. Please include your students name(s) in the email. Refunds will be credited to remaining tuition balances. For families who have paid their tuition balance in full, a check will be sent to the home address we have on file in FACTS. Our system does not allow for us to carry a balance of funds forward to pay for a future lunch order.
*A separate email was sent out, by Mrs. Jenkinson, regarding the missed Chick-fil-A lunch on Friday, February 4.
