Fall semester for Knox County Schools starts Monday, Aug. 24, for both virtual and in-school students. This is a half-day for students. In-school students should wear a mask. Check out the video for details.
Orientation for sixth- and ninth-grade in-school students will be held at their school 8:30 a.m. to noon Thursday, Aug. 20. (9:30 to 12:30 for Career Magnet Academy and L&N STEM Academy) Bus transportation will be provided. This will give students a chance to meet their teachers, pick up their schedule and get acquainted with their new building. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
