KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knox County students can now get their schedules online, according to KCS officials. 

Families are able to access them through the Aspen Family Portal at Knox County Schools' website.. Students are expected to return to school on Aug. 24, whether they're learning online or in-person.

Originally, schools were scheduled to reopen on Aug. 17 until the Knox County Superintendent, Bob Thomas, pushed the date back a week. The school district has considered a contract with Florida Virtual School, an online learning service, to help staff virtual classrooms.

Orientation began Aug. 20, for 6th and 9th grade students who plan to attend class in-person.

This orientation takes place each year to help students transition into middle and high school.
