If you know of students who were in the Class of 2023 who have not collected their yearbooks yet - please can you ask them to contact the school office.
These remaining 16 yearbooks have been waiting for collection for many months!
We have a note of those who haven't collected on our signature sheet - however contact becomes more difficult once students leave school.
Consent forms for the Flu vaccine were sent home with your child several weeks ago. It’s very important to complete, sign and return the form ASAP, even if you don’t want your child to get vaccinated. The vaccine is given once a year. Flu viruses are constantly changing, so a different vaccine has to be made every year to ensure the best protection against flu. The vaccination session will take place at Knox on Monday 18 November. Meadowpark vaccinations will take place on 1 October 2024. For more information visit nhsinform.scot/childflu.
NHS Lothian have produced a range of resources to assist your young person with anxiety and worry.
Six short, recorded information sessions based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the recommended treatment for managing anxiety and worries. The information sessions will help you learn more about what anxiety is and how you can support your child to overcome it.
Further details and links to the online sessions can be found in their information leaflet.
Did your young person have photographs taken on 10 September 2024 (mostly S1s and S3s)?
Have you ordered your school photos yet? The closing date for free delivery back to school is Tuesday 24 September 2024. Order through the Tempest website using your unique link or visit www.tempest-orders.co.uk
If you need any assistance in ordering your photos, feel free to contact Tempest on 01736 751555 (option 3).
Photograph proofs from the photography session on Tuesday 10 September 2024 have now been issued to registration teachers. These should have already made their way home, or will do so before the end of today (Thursday 12 September 2024).
One small class of S3s unfortunately did not have photographs taken for logistical reasons on the day - these students will be given the opportunity on Tuesday 5 November 2024 alongside those who were absent from school on the day.
If you have any questions please contact Mr Dempster via the School Office.
We look forward to welcoming Tempest Photography to Knox Academy on Tuesday 10 September 2024 to take individual photographs for S1 and S3 pupils.
We will also try and offer the opportunity to students who have recently enrolled at Knox Academy to have their photo taken.
A schedule will follow for exact timings, and teachers will release from class as appropriate. Everybody should return to class promptly after their photograph has been taken.
As usual, all students are expected to attend in full dress code including shirt/tie.
Parents/Carers will be given the option to purchase photographs and a range of gifts from Tempest afterwards.
It's that time of year when you get to decide on the Pupil Leadership Team for Session 2024-2025.

You will cast your vote on Wednesday 26 June 2024.
