Calendar
Our calendar is loosely based off the Knox County School Calendar. We will have class 10 months out of the year with June and July off. We will offer Summer camps during those months where you can pick and choose the weeks you attend. We will have breaks throughout the year for Fall Break, Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Spring Break and more. Because we want the children to experience the full range of seasons and weather types, we will not always call off for bad weather. We will update parents on inclement weather days.

End of the Year Art Show
We will be hosting an Art Show celebrating all of the students who have/ will be attending through the end of Spring Semester. We create unique hanging displays celebrating their achievements throughout the school year. They will be hanging throughout our school site for us to find! We will release dates closer to the time of the event. This will be a pot luck style event, so feel free to bring something to share. Need ideas, just ask!
Physical Requirements
Children should be able to show respect towards nature, other children and their teachers and be able to communicate effectively.
Clothing Requirements
Appropriate clothing for forest school is CRITICAL to the success of the program. “There is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” Clothing guidelines are available in the parent handbook.
