KCS RE-ENROLLMENT

Hello KCS Families!
Can you believe it is almost time to re-enroll for 2012-2013?  I wanted to let you know that our dates are as follows:
Feb. 13th - Re-enrollment for current KCS students
Feb. 20th - Enrollment for KCS Siblings and Kingwood Church Members
Feb. 27th - Open Enrollment

There are several classes that will close quickly so be sure and re-enroll!  We will be using our Sycamore system to handle all re-enrollment and new enrollment online!  That means no more (or fewer) papers to complete and return!  You can also make your payments to enroll online through Paypal and avoid having to come into the accounting office.  Of course, if you would rather write a check, pay cash or call with a credit card, those methods will still be available. 


We will provide more information and instructions about online re-enrollment the week prior to Feb. 13th.  Until then, we are excited about the future of KCS--all of our super students, our wonderful faculty and staff and all of our positive changes.  We pray that you and your family will be a part of our future as God leads us forward. 
If you have any reservations about re-enrollment, please feel free to email, call or meet with me.  I am here to answer your questions and concerns so please do not hesitate to contact me! 
Blessings!
Ruth Gray, Principal

Boys Basketball: Kingwood Christian 60, Cornerstone Christian 28

, January 23, 2012 9:46 p.m.

Kingwood Christian blasted out of the blocks and scarcely let up en route to downing Cornerstone Christian 60-28 in Alabama Independent Schools Association action Monday night.

“We were going to come out and just hit them in the mouth, go as fast as we could,” said Lions forward Daniel Filligim, who finished with 21 points, 17 rebounds and three assists. “Pedal to the medal the whole time.”

Chargers senior center Auston Wingard hobbled off the court with an injured ankle just two minutes into the game. By the time he returned to the lineup to open the second quarter, Kingwood’s offensive onslaught had hurt Cornerstone’s chance of getting a win.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Jordan Vance and Andrew Whitfield set the home team on its way. Daniel Filligim’s shot in the lane and Josh Purvis’ layup to end a fast break gave Kingwood (8-12) a 21-4 advantage.

“We couldn’t throw it in the ocean,” said Kendall Moore, who paced Cornerstone (14-6) with seven points. “It just wasn’t our night.”

The second half brought little change. Purvis, who wound up with 18 points, hit a 3-pointer with 1:14 left in the third quarter for a 46-23 lead.

Cornerstone coach Tim Smith guessed that Kingwood hit 80 percent of its shots in the first quarter.

“We couldn’t hit anything and it just snowballed on us,” he said. “It’s the first time it’s happened this year. I told the kids if we’re going to blow one, let’s blow it now. Don’t blow it at the end of the week.”

Cornerstone hosts its Class A area tournament beginning Friday night. Kingwood plays at Bessemer Academy tonight with a chance to reach the Class A playoffs. 

Sycamore Web-based School Management Solutions

 

Kingwood Christian School is in the process of implementing a web-based school management systems for our school called Sycamore.  We  are currently phasing in Sycamore Education in our Cafeteria and Before/After School programs.  We will begin re-enrollment and open enrollment on Sycamore in February.  In August, we will be fully transitioned in to the program thus eliminating the need for Edline, Gradebook, Google Calendar, Lunch Minder and School Minder.  Sycamore will allow everyone involved with our school to stay connected in a secure atmosphere on the internet.  Sycamore also provides all the features our school needs to operate more efficiently and improve communication.  Features like online enrollment, classroom web pages, advanced messaging and an integrated gradebook will give us what KCS needs to operate at an optimum level.   Sycamore Education is affordable, fun and easy to use and provides fanatical customer support. All families should have received log in information.  If you didn't, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
