Clubs & Activities

Get Involved at CKHS!

On Tuesday, students had the opportunity during Advisory to learn about the many clubs and activities offered at CKHS. Today, we continued the fun with our after-school Club Fair!

Take a moment to talk with your student about their interests and encourage them to choose a club or activity that interests them. Getting involved is a great way to make connections, discover new interests, and feel more connected to our Cougar community!

Schedule Change Information

Beginning September 4, students may schedule an appointment with their counselor. As always, if there is an emergent situation, please direct your student to the counseling office right away. 
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we get the year off to a great start! 

CKSD Therapy Dog Program

A round red and white pet ID tag that reads "THERAPY DOG" with a red heart and a black paw print.
Therapy Dogs will be in the Library September 8th and 22nd. 

Research has shown that therapy dogs in schools can help build strong social emotional skills in students. A therapy dog’s presence has also been shown to reduce anxiety, help students work through anger management concerns, reduce bullying tendencies, and address other personal and social issues that all of our developing students deal with. There are specific goals of the therapy dog program:
  • Increase empathy and compassion in all students
  • Help students connect with something in the school setting and reduce anxiety
  • Improve academic performance, while increasing confidence and self-esteem

Therapy dogs used by CKSD are certified through AKC recognized organizations. To belong to these organizations the dog must be tested and evaluated by a Certified evaluator. A dog must be a minimum of one (1) year old and have a sound temperament. Each dog must pass a Handler’s assessment.

Registered Therapy dogs have specific cleanliness and grooming requirements. All certifying therapy dog organizations also require annual veterinarian checks for registered Therapy Dogs along with regular evaluations to maintain certification.

Please complete and return this opt-out form  to the main office within 10 days of receipt, if you do not want your child to have contact with therapy dogs at school.

School Pictures

Students who were unable to have their school picture taken during Cougar Family Night will have an additional opportunity on Make-Up Day, September 8.

For students wishing to have their photo retaken, Retake Day will be held on October 20.

If you would like to pre pay for your photos, please follow this link: https://olympicphoto.accessmyevent.com/ckhighschoolpictureday20262027 .

All school pictures will be taken by OPG.

Parking Pass Information

A white sign with green text reads 'STUDENT PARKING ONLY' on top and 'PERMIT REQUIRED' on the bottom.
Student parking passes for the 2026–27 school year will be available to request through the CKHS website. Parking is limited, and requests for juniors and seniors will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis until all available spaces have been assigned.

Sophomores with a valid driver’s license and insurance may also submit a request, but historically we have not had enough capacity to issue sophomore passes. Students must have a valid license and insurance and have all outstanding school fees and fines paid before receiving a pass. Because it will take time to process requests, parking passes will not be required during the first two weeks of school, August 31–September 11.

For more information and to access the 26/27 parking pass request form once it goes live, please see the parking section of the CKHS website: CKHS Parking
