November at Knox!
Hello Knox Families!
During this month of Thanksgiving, we give thanks for all of our Knox students and families, for your partnership in learning. Please take a moment to watch the video above. Thank you to Mr. Ponsford, Wheelhouse Credit Union, our Knox staff, and our other community donors who helped to make this event possible.
Instructional Updates:
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 second progress reporting period will also come additional brag tags for GPA and Citizenship.
Students will receive their second progress report the week of November 29th. This is the last progress report of the Semester, with the next grading period being final grades.
Our Knox teachers are designing common assessments to measure student progress toward the learning target. These common assessments are then analyzed by the teachers together in their PLCs (Professional Learning Communities).
Reminders:
- We will be hosting a COVID-19 vaccine event at Knox, in partnership with UCSD. Please see the information below. Consent forms will be mailed home with progress reports. Your student can return their consent form to the office.
- 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 the harmful effects of Vaping. All students participated in a school-wide Zoom assembly to learn about the harmful chemicals that are contained in ecigarettes. Here is a resource for parents on Vaping.
