The Knoxville School District announced that they will be starting their winter break early this week. There is now no school tomorrow (Wednesday 12/21) for the Knoxville School District, with winter break beginning at the conclusion of Tuesday night’s activities.

According to a statement released by the district, the break has been pushed up due to a combination of student and staff illness, with a higher than 10% illness rate at Northstar Elementary, and the expected inclement weather later this week. There will be no make-up day for Wednesday. School will resume on Thursday, January 5, 2023.
