Family Engagement Resources
Parents may find resources on the Family & Community Engagement site detailing opportunities to become involved in their child's school. (Visit the Family and Community Engagement site)
Communication between school and home, parent and teacher, is very important to us. You may use Parent Portal to follow your child's progress on a daily basis, or use SchoolMessenger to keep informed of school and district announcements via telephone, web, or email.
Community Resources
The Knoxville area has many private and civic groups and organizations that offer their resources and talents to help provide a better education for our children and to meet the new, higher standards.

Is your child using the Internet safely? Here are tips, links to help
Today, many students in Knox County Schools have access to the Internet not only at school but also at home. This a good way  for students to enhance their learning because the Internet holds such a vast amount of information, and the Internet brings together people from all over the world. However, these very same aspects are reasons for teachers and parents to worry about what their students do on the Internet and what kind of people they might meet. (Internet Safety)
Resources for parents may be found in Instructional Programs
 Parents looking for resources to help their student in school may find links to helpful resources in the " Instructional Programs" section of the KCS website where each academic area is represented. Additional resources may also be available on your student's individual classroom website. Access these by visiting your student's school site.
