Attached you will find the enrollment form and cost information sheet with all relevant information. Please contact your school with any questions. Payment may be made to your child's school via cash or check.
*If you have more than one child, the first child's enrollment fee will be $40 and each additional child can be enrolled in the coverage for $30 (charges will not exceed $100 per household).
Our new KCS app makes staying connected with your child’s school easier than ever! Here are a few quick tips to get the most out of it:
1️⃣ Favorite Your Student’s School – Make sure your child’s school is marked as a favorite so you can access it quickly. You can favorite multiple schools so you can easily flip back and forth between multiple schools.
2️⃣ Set the Default School – Change your default school so when you open the app, your child’s school appears first instead of the district page.
3️⃣ Explore the Menu – Find important info like documents, lunch menus, the school calendar, and the online attendance excuse form—all in one place!

& BEAUTIFUL LOCALLY GROWN White Snapdragons & Pink Dianthus from the wonderful @Carolyn Sue Young 🌸
I chose these two for a reason. Their skills, passion, and drive for what’s next in this industry are exactly what we want to highlight.
✨ Amy wowed guests with a Tomato & Grilled Peach Salad layered with whipped ricotta, basil pesto, mint hot honey breadcrumbs, and crispy prosciutto.
✨ Zach served up a Coconut-Corn Polenta Cake topped with pan-seared shrimp, pickled corn relish, and a sweet chili aioli.
We love partnering with the Coliseum on these events. They not only shine a light on our students’ talent, but they also build excitement for our big annual Culinary Showcase in October, which helps raise money for our scholarship fund. That fund changes lives by helping more students join our program and chase their culinary dreams.
Proud is an understatement tonight. 🍽️🔥

Today, our Culinary Arts Scholarship Fund received a $10,000 donation from the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center, powered by Sodexo Live!
This partnership means more than words can really express. This funding will directly support several future students in our program, helping to cover costs and ease financial burdens so they can focus on learning, creating, and growing into the chefs our industry needs.
It’s a powerful thing when industry leaders recognize the value of skilled, trained, and educated professionals. The fact that they not only see that value but are willing to invest in it? That’s next level. I’m beyond grateful.
We’re looking forward to continuing our collaboration with the Coliseum and showcasing our students’ talents at events throughout the year, including our big Culinary Showcase Dinner in October, where we’ll highlight both student and industry talent from across the Kanawha Valley.
The future is bright, and this support makes it even brighter. Thank you, Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center, for believing in us.
