Our ASB students and Knox staff hosted 5th grade visitors from our feeder elementary schools: Nye, Valencia Park, Porter, Baker, Balboa and Chavez. Students got to listen to a presentation about Knox programs and courses, take a campus tour with an ASB tour guide, listen to our guitar students perform, play PE games with Coach B, and participate in a team building activity. Thank you to Ms. Shirley our counselor for putting these visits together.
We will also be hosting tours for our 5th grade parents soon. See the details below.

Primetime: Arc
Hello PrimeTime Families,
The weather is changing, and the days are getting shorter means we are getting into the final months of the year! One of our main goals this year in PrimeTime is to ensure all students achieve the best grades possible. We will encourage students to complete any assignments they have for school during our academic hour and work alongside their teachers to find ways to improve their grades. We will periodically perform grades checks of our own to see what areas need improvement. Staff and students will establish goals for each grading period so they can work towards a higher grade.
We have several activities, field trips, and workshops in the books so please encourage all students to attend program in a consistent manner. The PrimeTime staff at Knox are working diligently to ensure our students have access to different growth opportunities but students can only benefit if they are present. As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to me via cell phone or email.
Thank You,
Kevin Cervantes
