The Knoxville Center students performed community service at the Neighborhood House. Mrs. Bonar, who is now the CEO of the neighborhood House was a teacher at the Knoxville Center.
George was picked for student of the month because he currently has an A in all his classes. George likes KCSS because there are fewer distractions than at his other school. He has more time to focus on his schoolwork.
On February 8th, KCSS had a guest speaker, Ron Tyler. Mr. Tyler is the Director of Outreach for Family Core. His presentation focused on effective techniques and interventions for helping students manage their anger in the classroom.
Peoria Public Schools has instituted a device check-out program for Remote Learning. So far, more than 4,000 devices have been delivered to students and families since March 30. NEW AS OF APRIL 14: If you have not requested a device yet, please call the front office your student's school between the hours of 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. The front office staff will fill out the request form for you.
This semester KCSS has extended its hours to help students earn high school credits in less time than they might at a traditional high school. Previously, the school day ended at 2:30 p.m. Now, students can arrive as late as lunchtime and stay until 5:45 p.m. or they can arrive at the customary 7:30 a.m. start and work through the longer school day. The three extra hours allow students with scheduling conflicts due to employment and childcare issues to work toward earning their high school diploma. This year eight KCSS students also are enrolled in Woodruff Career and Technical Center (WCTC) programs, enabling them to graduate from high school with employment skills they can use immediately.
