We asked students and staff to wear black today to support the Jones family. WOW - our KJHS community showed up in full force! Thank you to all of our students and staff for being so supportive. To the Jones family, we are here to help in any way we can. Super proud to be a Blue Bullet today!
KJHS Student Council is hosting the Valentine's Dance and Game tomorrow night. Students will be able to dance the night away or play board and card games...or both! Presale tickets are being sold at school for $3. Tickets may also be purchased at the door for $4. The 5th/6th-grade dance is from 5:30 - 7 pm and the 7th/8th-grade dance is from 7:30 - 9 pm. Thank you!
For clarification - we are encouraging everyone to wear black tomorrow, Friday, 2/9 across the district as a show of support for the Jones family. This is NOT a fundraiser - simply a supportive gesture. This will extend to the KHS home basketball game Friday night as a further show of support for the family during this time.
Knoxville families, wear black this Friday in support of the Jones family. Black is the color for Melanoma awareness. Thank you!

Parents and Guardians,
Knoxville Schools and the surrounding communities have seen a significant uptick in Influenza A, Influenza B, and COVID. Some symptoms consistently seen are persistent headache, GI issues, sore throat, and exhaustion, among others.
If your students are not feeling well, please take this seriously. Please keep ill students home 24 hours after their fever breaks without medication, or 24 hours past the last time they vomit or have diarrhea.
Although there are no treatments for Influenza or COVID, seeing a provider for confirmation can also assist in knowing when a child should return to school.
Our current COVID protocol is that the student should quarantine for 5 days, and then mask for 5 days. Influenza is a bit different as student symptoms differ.
During this season, if you have any questions as to whether your child should be at school or at home, do not hesitate to reach out to the Knoxville Health Staff. We are happy to assist.

KJHS Parents/Guardians - Report cards, last year's IAR scores, and information about your child's progress so far this year were sent home today in an envelope with your student. Please make sure to ask them for it. If you sign the envelope and send ONLY the envelope back, your child will get a reward this Friday, 2/9. Thanks and Go Bullets!
