School Schedules

Girls Walking Into School


Knox County Schools believes in creating a balanced schedule that promotes both academic success and personal well-being. Whether it's navigating class periods, lunch breaks, or extracurricular activities, KCS is committed to ensuring that schedules support a positive and productive environment for all.

School Times

 

Schedule Terminology

View the District Calendar for important dates, including half days and in-service days.

Half Days are designated days when students attend school for only half of the regular school day. Planned in advance and listed on the official academic calendar, these are typically scheduled at the end of grading periods and / or prior to school breaks.

Inclement Weather Days (or Delays) are unplanned school closures or late openings due to severe weather conditions, such as snow, ice, heavy rain, extreme cold, or high winds, that make travel unsafe. These decisions are made to prioritize student and staff safety.

In-service Days are designated days when students do not attend school so teachers and staff can complete professional development and administrative duties. These days are scheduled in advance and listed on the official academic calendar.
 

Feeder Patterns

A feeder pattern identifies the transitions a student will take between schools as they progress through their education. Most commonly, Knox County Students will move from elementary school to middle school and high school. In some cases, students will transition from a primary school to an intermediate school before moving into middle school and high school.

Specific school assignments should be found using the school zone locator based on a student’s physical address, especially if the primary residence is near the border of a specific school zone.
