Due to the forecast for severe weather this afternoon, we will be dismissing school today at 1:00 p.m.

We are aware of the possibility of strong storms through the area on Friday. Due to the uncertainty of the timing of the storm system, we will be in session tomorrow (March 31st, 2023). We will continue to monitor the situation and if the need arises, we will make a decision by 11:00 am whether or not we will dismiss early Friday afternoon.

Please come to KHS to meet the School Board Candidates on Thursday, March 30, 2023.

You can now sign into your parent/guardian account on Skyward to verify that we have your correct contact information. There are three new buttons under your student in Skyward's family access. The three options are: update parent/guardian info, update home/mailing address, and update emergency contacts. Doing this will ensure you will receive the district's All Calls. An alternate way to receive All Calls is to download the Knoxville CUSD 202 app from the Apple App Store ( https://apple.co/3iVbN1j ) and/or Google Play Store ( https://bit.ly/3u1b8Cd ). If you decide to download the app, make sure you allow notifications when first opening it.

KJHS Student Council Spring Spirit Week starts this Monday! Who will win the Spirit Stick????

Parents, we are REALLY trying to get over this sickness hump. As a reminder, if you child is sent home with a fever or after vomiting, our policy is they MUST stay home at least 24 hours from the last time they vomited/have a fever. This ensures that your student is set up for success and that we are not continuing the spread of germs throughout the classroom.

Parents, Strep continues to be prevalent in our schools, community, and across the state. Please see the attached image regarding strep and what we can do to stop the spread.
