Please complete the Education Benefits Form each year. While this form doesn't affect your student getting free meals, the data collected helps fund many other programs in our District.
We have switched to LINQ Connect instead of e-funds. Download the free LINQ Connect app below where you can easily fund meal accounts, pay school fees, find menus, and fill out the Education Benefits form.
Questions regarding food service can be directed to Megan Johnson, Director of Food and Nutrition Services, at (616) 965-4340.
The Ride 360 app that Kenowa Hills uses to provide our families with student transportation information will be retired, and an updated app will be available. This new app, My Ride K-12, can be downloaded now in the Apple and Android app stores. You will need to download the new app to access updated transportation information for your student(s). Usernames and passwords from Ride 360 will carry over into My Ride K-12. Additionally, you can use your existing log-in information to access a web version of My Ride K-12 at myridek12.tylerapp.com.
Kenowa Hills is proud to partner with My Ride K-12, an in-vehicle GPS geolocation to provide parents and students with real-time access to bus stop locations, transportation routes, pick-up times, and more. If you need to create a new account, get started using the instructions below.

To enroll, your child must be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2025. Kindergarten and K-Knights are offered at all three of our elementary buildings. If your child will be attending kindergarten or K-Knights this fall, please call to schedule a screening appointment:

The Knights STEM Academy is open to 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students. It is a great fit for students who are willing to work hard, try new things, and work with others. Students who are interested in engineering, skilled trades, technology, working with their hands, art, science, or math will thrive in the STEM Academy.
In STEM, students will work harder than they thought they could, learn in ways they never imagined, and build things they never thought possible. Students will never have to wonder when they will ever use what they’re learning in STEM, and if they’re not having fun in STEM Academy, we’re doing something wrong!
Interested students can get an application from the middle school or high school office or fill out the form below. Learn more on our Knights STEM Academy webpage!

Fall Athletics Updates
All high school athletes must have a physical on file with the athletic office dated on or after April 15, 2025, to participate in a high school sport at Kenowa Hills High School. Each athlete will need the following items to participate:
All necessary documents must be submitted through FinalForms, and payment can be made in FinalForms, through e-Funds, or in person to the Athletic Office during the office hours listed below. Pink Slips will no longer be issued.
The Athletic Office will be open July 28th - August 1st, from 9 am-2 pm only. Please direct any athletic department questions to Vicki Bekins via email at vbekins@khps.org or by calling 616.784.2115.
Knight Athletic Department is very excited to announce that the high school & middle school have partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students participating in athletics.
FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time.
You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms one time a year and after any updates. Click on the Parent Playbook below to get started in FinalForms. The playbook will walk you through how to register as a parent/guardian and your student-athlete.
We are asking ALL parents of athletes to use FinalForms. Please register at FinalForms and follow the prompts to create your account, create your students, and sign all your forms prior to the first day of fall sports on August 11, 2025.

TRANSPORTATION BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CAREOur Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
