Knox Newsletter
During the month of April, our students did an incredible job with state testing. I am so proud of students that came to school on time every day and tried their hardest in state testing.
We are currently in 2nd place in the SDUSD Padres attendance challenge. We are open this weekend and next weekend for Saturday School. Please send your student to clear their absences.
We have a lot of End of the Year field trips and activities happening, so please make note of them below.

Attendance:
Great job to all of our students that have been working on clearing their absences during the weekend. As a reminder, End of Year activities are LOP events. Students need to clear their absences and tardies in Saturday School. We have some great incentives coming up for students with no uncleared tardies or absences. Knox currently has an attendance rate of 93%, which we are hoping to improve to 97%.
This year we have a reduction in office staff. Parents must report absences online through our Knox website. If you need to pick up your student from school for an appointment, please call ahead of time.
Report all absences on our website: https://knox.sandiegounified.org/ (parent menu)
