ANNOUNCEMENTS
CCSD Districtwide Survey
We need your help!
K.O. Knudson needs at least 75% of our community to participate and we are only at 66%!
Please take a few minutes to complete it both as a parent and have your child complete it as a student. We only have until next Friday, 12/17, at 5pm to meet our required participation rate.
The 5-minute survey, available in English and Spanish, is confidential and part of the District’s efforts to engage the community on important issues facing students and their families. The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete and is accessible on tablets and smartphones. Every parent/guardian is invited to take a survey for each child enrolled in a CCSD school.
Let's see if K.O. Knudson can get the best participation rate in CCSD!

Cheer practice for tryouts will be December 6th - 9th from 2:15pm - 3:30pm in the dance room with Ms. Jones. The official tryout date will be December 13th beginning at 2:15. 12 students will be selected to represent the KO Knudson Cougars Cheerleading Team.
