Our classes are filling up quickly, so get enrolled if you haven't already!
We've added a page on our website for returning family enrollment. You'll find step-by-step instructions about how to enroll under the "Enroll Now" button.
Please help us spread the word about King's Gate. We believe families are hungry for an alternative to public school and may not realize we're here. We have a special link for new families to enroll. Feel free to share it with your friends and family.

Amazing gRace May 4th
DATE CHANGE FROM OUR LAST NEWSLETTER! Our March newsletter published an April date. We have changed the date to give an improved chance of warmer weather:
- Village races on Tuesday, May 4th at 10am
- Surrey Hills races on Wed., May 5th at 10am
You should have received an email with all the race details, as well as your packet. Here's a summary of dates:
- Friday, April 16th - Race Sponsorship forms due. Race sponsors get name (or student name) printed on the back of our race t-shirts worn by all students and staff.
- May 3-7 - Spirit Week
Participation
- Students who brought back 12 envelopes enjoyed Chic-fil-A lunch on March 30. Thank you so much for your support! Well Done!
- Loose Change Challenge - The teacher's jar with the most loose change gets a PIE IN THE FACE!! Students can choose which teacher's jar to drop their loose change. It doesn't have to be their teacher. Who will get the pie in the face? We can't decide if it's a good thing or not to get the most money ;) We're collecting now through race day.
- Top Golf - Every student that brings a $150 donation is entered once in a drawing for a $200 Top Golf gift card. Donations of $250 or more get 3 entries into the drawing. Who is our biggest fundraiser?
- Cold, hard, CASH - The student with the most total money donated and the student with the most donations from sponsors of $30 or more will both receive $100 cash!
- Human Sundae - When we reach our school fundraising goal of $35,000, Mrs. Wyndi Bradley will be made into a human sundae by our students! We can do this!
Race Day
Make sure your student wears the Amazing gRace t-shirt! These are free for our students. Each class runs individually, starting with our Toddler One class and working our way to Pre-K.
Runners will stay within their "family classroom group" and distanced from other classes. We'll cheer each other on from a safe distance.
Unfortunately, we can't invite parents to the race this year. We're working really hard to avoid any more quarantines this close to the end of the year. We'll send videos via email so you don't miss out.
We are so grateful for your help in making this Amazing gRace a success!

COVID-19 UPDATE MARCH 2021
In March we had two individuals out due to direct exposure to the virus. The exposures occurred outside of the school and thus no other individuals were affected.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION to remember:
A “direct exposure” is one in which an individual is directly exposed (has close contact, i.e. are within 6 feet for ≥ 15 minutes) to a COVID-positive individual. An “indirect exposure” is one in which an individual is exposed to someone else who was previously, directly, exposed to a COVID-positive individual.
Per the Back to School Guidelines, Canadian County Health Department (CCHD) is contacted for notification and recommendation in each situation. For direct exposures, the exposed individuals are required to quarantine for up to 14 days following their last day of direct exposure. For individuals who experience an indirect exposure, quarantine not required, as per CCHD and the CDC, there is “little to no risk” of contracting the virus in this type of exposure.
Notification and follow-up with affected individuals/families takes place in each situation while also maintaining compliance with HIPAA regulations.
We are continuing to grow in our knowledge and experience in responding to exposures, and we appreciate the input and information that many of you have shared with us regarding your own experiences and desire for better and ongoing communication and information.
As always, we pray daily for exceptional health and safety for our students, teachers, and all our King’s Gate families. May God keep you and bless you, each and every one.
