Knox superintendent says start of school delayed one day; district names Sept. 17 contingency day
Summary
Superintendent Miklitsch announced the district delayed the school start by one day and will use Sept. 17 as a contingency/make-up day; he also outlined a Sept. 11 virtual practice day, the end of first quarter on Sept. 27, parent-teacher conferences Oct. 10–11, and fall break Oct. 14–18.
Superintendent Miklitsch of Knox Community School Corp said the district pushed back the beginning of the school year by one day and that it will use Sept. 17 as a contingency make-up day. "We pushed back to beginning of school 1 day," Miklitsch said, and asked families to "please mark your calendars."
Miklitsch also said the district will hold a virtual instruction practice day on Sept. 11: students will stay home and connect to live lessons while teachers remain in the buildings. He framed the day as a preparedness exercise to ensure remote instruction works if future weather forces closures.
He reminded families the first quarter ends Sept. 27 and outlined parent-teacher conferences set for Oct. 10 from about 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. and Oct. 11 roughly 8:00 to 11:30 a.m. He said computers will be available at conferences to help families complete required forms.
Miklitsch closed with calendar logistics and encouraged families to call the central office with any questions.
