December at Knox!
Hello Knox Families!
The month of December was a busy one at Knox! ASB helped to plan so many fun campus activities for our students and our staff. Some of the activities included: Staff v students volleyball, Knox v. MTM basketball, pajama day, Advisory competitions, and more brag tag awards.
As we move into January, 6th and 7th grade students will participate in the Butterfly Project, and all students will participate in our annual Martin Luther King March.
Reminders:
- January 14th is our annual Martin Luther King March. Students will dismiss at 1:00 pm
- The vaccine van will return to Knox on January 4th.
- If you need to pick your student up early at school call ahead.
- We have a late bus for tutoring every Tuesday. It stops at Baker and Balboa. It departs Knox at 4:35
- Minimum days are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Thursday only.
- Please monitor your child's social media accounts (Instagram, Snap Chat, Tik Tok). Please talk to your students about their digital footprint and cyberbullying. Here is a parent resource:
- Please talk to your students about the harmful effects of Vaping. All students participated in a school-wide Zoom assembly to learn about the harmful chemicals that are contained in e-cigarettes. Here is a resource for parents on Vaping.
Instructional Updates:
The first semester will end on January 21, 2022.
This month we will continue to celebrate students with brag tags for perfect attendance, raising their Lexile reading scores in Achieve 3000, and for our positive themes in Advisory. With the Semester coming to a close, we will also celebrate students with additional brag tags for GPA and Citizenship.
Students must complete 5 articles in Achieve 3000, every month. Please see the video on how to access Achieve 3000 in this newsletter
As part of our work in Marzano Level 3, our teachers are looking at all aspects of common assessments they are designing, as a PLC: Are the assessments reliable, valid and fair?
Our Knox SSC also voted to fund a full time Project Resource teacher for the Spring Semester. The Resource Teacher will support Tier 1 instruction as part of our Marzano instructional program.
