-STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK: Our staff at Knapp Elementary School are some of the best and we look forward to celebrating them May 4-8! Join us in celebrating Staff Appreciation Week by taking a moment to thank a staff member who has made a positive impact on the life of your child!
Several of our valued staff members are moving on to new opportunities, both within the district and beyond. Their dedication and care have made a lasting impact on the students and community of Knapp Elementary. We are deeply grateful for all they have given and wish them continued success and fulfillment in their next chapters.
