Student & Family Resources
Whether you’re new to our school or a longtime member of the Northwest Middle School family, we want to provide the resources you need to achieve success.
This is a central hub for students and families to easily access information for navigating the school and school day, including enrollment, student handbooks, information about schedules, extra curricular activities, and more!
Enrollment
Northwest Middle School serves students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.
Students who are zoned for Northwest and attended a Knox County elementary school for 5th grade are automatically enrolled.
Enrollment for students who are new to the districts must be completed in person by a parent or legal guardian.
Daily Schedule
At Northwest Middle, the school day begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. on regular school days.
Student Supports
Northwest Middle School is dedicated to building a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where every student can grow, succeed, and discover their strengths.
Athletics, Clubs, and Arts
Learning doesn't stop when the school day ends. Northwest Middle offers a variety of after-school and extracurricular activities—including athletics, clubs, and performing/visual arts—that give students the chance to build new skills, connect with peers, and explore personal interests.
Library / Media Center
Our library is a hub for student learning, reading, and discovery. In addition to the school library, teachers may maintain individual collections of age-appropriate books in their classrooms to support literacy and foster a love of reading.
Support Organization
Northwest Middle School is supported by a blossoming network of parent and community organizations through the PTO, a group dedicated to school culture improvement and support for students and staff.
