2023-24 School Year

As we head into the 2023-24 school year, we are excited to share that once again both breakfast and lunch will be provided to our students at no cost by the State of Michigan.

In the meantime, please submit an Education Benefits Form for your family. This quick and simple form is critical in determining the amount of funding our school receives from various State and Federal supplemental programs and may even help your family qualify for free resources!

*If you are a parent of a K-Knight or Kindergarten student, you may not find your student(s) in the system at this time. Please check back soon for an update!

Questions regarding food service can be directed to Shanna Williams, Director of Food and Nutrition Services, at (616) 965-4290.

Community Knight - October 13
Fall Senior Night - October 20

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 starting this upcoming 2023-2024 fall season. At this time participation fees will be paid in the athletic offices of your appropriate school prior to the start of each sports season. 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 7, 2023.
