Welcome To December!
Hello Knox Families!
We hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. It was great to see so many of our families during our annual Turkey Drive. A big thank you to Wheelhouse Credit Union, Clairemont Covenant Church, and our Knox staff for their support of this special event.
The grading period for Progress Report 2 ends this Friday 12/4. Please reach out to us if you need your Parent Portal password. Parents, please also join us for our weekly parent technology workshops, which are offered every Friday from 11:15am-12:00pm on Zoom. Spanish translation is available at these workshops. If you missed the workshop, the video recording can be found on our Knox Family Website.
This month we will continue to celebrate student achievement with our Brag Tag program. Students can earn brag tags by checking their email, reading daily in Achieve 3000, participating in our Advisory program, joining our Saturday morning Zoom tutoring sessions, and for participating online. If you haven't had a chance to pick up your student's brag tags, please come to the main office at Knox between 8:00 and 3:30 daily.

We will continue to send out information to our Knox families via our Knox Social Media sites (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Smore Newsletters), as well as our School Messenger Program.

Knox Primetime Update
Hello Knox Students & Families!
Thank you for all your help and support in getting your kids involved with PrimeTime! We have had an awesome amount of participation but are always looking to add more of your students to the mix! We are continuously enrolling throughout the school year to give your children the best opportunity to participate in sports, arts and other fun activities.
We will be having our “Watch Party” this month, December 17th at 5:20p! We will be watching the Los Angeles Chargers take on the Las Vegas raiders. The game will be watched online and our plan is to have pizza ordered to the homes of those who are going to partake in our party! In order to be considered for this event we will need you to rsvp, which you can do so by emailing me directly at the email listed below.
Hope everyone is doing well during this current time. Stay safe!
Best,
D’Jay Scott
