Fort Knox Schools are NOT a part of Hardin County Schools or Meade County Schools. Therefore, when those districts are closed, it does not mean the Fort Knox Schools are closed. If there is an emergency during the school day, such as severe weather that requires the school to close, we will hold the children until a parent or guardian arrives to take the child home. It is Post policy in the event of sudden emergencies, such as a tornado, that parents not take their children from the schools because of the relative safety of the buildings. We would always welcome parents to come to the building and assist in the care of the children in such an event.
Students generally have greater success when they keep good attendance.
At the Honors Day program we recognize those students who have not been absent for the whole year. Working toward this goal is admirable and we ask parents to promote this goal. If a child is absent, and we have not received a call, our attendance clerk will first call your home and, if no answer, then she will call the duty number of the military sponsor. These calls are made for the safety and security of the children. Attendance during any part of a half day will be recorded as present for that half day.
