Winter Sports Season at KHS Quickly Approaching

Welcome to Colts Roundup, a new column inspired by the daily email chain of Athletic Director Scott Rosenberg.

What is Colts Roundup? Exactly what it sounds like-a roundup of Colts games for the day and scores from the previous day's games with links to articles from local news outlets, including ours, all from the desk of Kinnelon High School Athletic Director Scott Rosenberg. Each day, we will bring you the Colts Roundup so that you can consider cheering on the Colts at upcoming games or check up on scores from the previous day or night.

Here are a couple of important reminders and pieces of information for the winter season:

Schedules and Notifications: 

• You can access schedules at www.nwjerseyac.com (click on the Kinnelon High School link on the right). A Parent/Community Guide for the program will allow fans to get customized schedules, receive text and/or email alerts and reminders, download schedules directly to your smart phone and/or personal calendar and more.

• We now use the rSchoolToday™ Activity Scheduler from rSchoolToday as our School Calendar as it provides significant advantages to our school community.

Here are some of the key features:
  • Click on any date within the month and see the activities for that day.
  • Jump to any month in one click.

Teen Safe Driving Program 

• Our coaches have partnered with the NJSIAA and the Teen Save Driving Coalition to spread the word on the dangers of too many teenagers in the same car and will be discussing this information with their student-athletes. We encourage you to do the same at home. More information can be found at: http://njsiaa.org/NJSIAA/TeenSafeDrivingGDLGamePlan2011.pdf.

Student-Athlete/Parent Handbook
