Our Academics

Communication between parents and teachers is very important. We strive to keep our parents up to date on their child’s progress and informed about school activities. Your child’s teacher will be in contact with you many times throughout the year. However, we also want to hear from you. We welcome your comments and feel they are vital to the success of our program at John Knox.
 

Parents are also invited and strongly urged to strengthen the school and home connection by participating in classroom activities whenever possible. This really gives you an opportunity to observe firsthand what your child’s learning environment is like.

PDO parents receive a daily sheet about their child’s day from their teacher.
Informal reports of your kindergarten student’s progress will be sent home on a monthly basis. A more formal progress check will be completed twice a year, in December/January and at the end of May.
Conferences will be scheduled for all K-5 students twice a year, in November and again in April/May. Conferences are available upon request for all K-4 students. Conferences for K-3 students are optional.
