KNOS

March 28, 2024

Dear KNOS Families:

Spring is in the air, and with it comes a well-deserved break for our hardworking students and staff! As we head into the final stretch of the 2023-2024 school year, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible progress our students have made and share some important updates and reminders.

First, we hope that you and your family have a wonderful, restful, and safe spring break from March 29th to April 1st. This is a great opportunity for our students to recharge, spend quality time with loved ones, and come back refreshed and ready to tackle the remainder of the school year.

Parent Teacher Conference

Upon returning from spring break, we will dive right into Parent Teacher Conferences on April 2nd. These conferences are an excellent opportunity for you to connect with your child's teachers, discuss their progress and attendance, and set goals for the final quarter. We strongly encourage all families to attend and partner with us in ensuring your child's success.

High School Honors Night 

Our second annual KNOS High School Honors Night was held recently at the New Orleans Jazz Market.
 
We celebrated the achievements of over 500 high school students from all three campuses, alongside their families, friends, teachers, and school leaders. It was a special moment, bringing our schools together to honor our students' hard work.
 
We recognized accomplishments like achieving college-ready reading levels, excelling in tests, and earning scholarships. Each award highlighted the dedication and effort our students put in.
These achievements reflect the high standards we set for our students, and we're incredibly proud of their success.
