Van Voorhis Policies and ProceduresAdditional policies and procedures can be accessed in the Student Handbook (provided to all students). We pride ourselves on our orderly, peaceful school environment here at Van Voorhis. Our school expectations are really similar to most teachers’ classroom rules: use only friendly words and polite language, follow all playground safety rules, follow classroom instructions the first time, do your best work, and use your hands and feet in friendly ways only. We really focus on sharing our expectations in positive ways – notice that our rules aren’t phrased with the word “don’t.” We have noticed that it’s more effective to focus on what we do want, not what we don’t want! We ask that students maintain good attendance, follow the dress code, and follow all school rules. Parents, your support is invaluable in this!

When you miss school, you miss out! Please click on the link to see our attendance policy in detail. The concise version is: please have students here by 8:30. Come to the office to sign them in if they are tardy. Please bring a note for any appointments your children have, so that we can excuse their absence. Please call or send a note if your child is at home sick. If your child misses an excessive amount of school, it can have a tremendous negative impact on their learning as well as their social development. We recognize that military-connected families have special needs, and we support you! Please support us by filling out the appropriate forms for any extended absences. If you are taking a family trip, such as R&R block leave or to help with an emergency in your hometown, please come to the office to fill out the appropriate paperwork. This allows us to excuse this absence and arrange for a work packet for your child. Inclement WeatherThe Fort Knox Community Schools are rarely closed for inclement weather. Generally, the primary roads on Fort Knox remain open even during severe weather.
