We are excited for you to be part of our community!

Pre-Arranged Absence Form
A pre-arranged absence form must be completed whenever your child will be absent from school for reasons other than illness. This form helps teachers plan in advance by providing homework and assignments for your child, ensuring they can stay on track and avoid falling behind during their time away.
Walking Permission Form
This form is required for students who will be walking to and/or from school either before or after school hours. By completing this form, you are granting permission for your child to walk to or from school independently.

At CTCS we partner with parents to assist in student learning and faith formation.
To volunteer on campus or in a classroom, parents have two requirements to fulfill to be ready for volunteering:
1.) Complete a background check. Paperwork to complete can be found on the following link or can be picked up at the CTCS school office.
2.) Completion of VIRTUS training. The VIRTUS program helps to provide training to adults to keep children safe. Training is offered in the Fall of each school year or by requesting a link from the CTCS school office to complete at home. A certificate of program completion is required to be emailed to the school office at office@ctcsyakima.org.
Please note: If you plan on being a volunteer driver the volunteer driver form needs to be filled out and turned into the school office. Volunteer Driver Form
Once the requirements are completed and approved, parent volunteers will be notified that they can begin volunteering. Volunteering must be coordinated with the teacher, school office, or by signing up on the signup genius. Please call the school office if you have any questions regarding the volunteer approval process.
