Does P3 pick up from Hardin Valley Elementary School?
Yes. The P3 bus picks up from Hardin Valley Elementary School every school day and brings kids to P3 Sportsplex at 11805 Kingston Pike. Bus pickup is free, and you get a notification the moment your child boards.
What about early release days and half-days at Hardin Valley Elementary?
They're covered. Knox County Schools early release days and scheduled half-days are part of your After School membership, so we pick up from Hardin Valley Elementary on those days too.
Which Hardin Valley Elementary students can join P3 After School?
P3 After School is for kindergarten through 5th grade, so every Hardin Valley Elementary student (kindergarten to 5th grade) can join. Start with a 20-minute tour of the building.
Which schools do you pick up from for the After-School Program, and does transportation cost extra?
We provide free daily bus transportation directly from eight local elementary schools: Farragut Primary, Farragut Intermediate, Hardin Valley, Northshore, Ball Camp, A.L. Lotts, Bluegrass, and Mill Creek. As soon as your child steps onto our P3 bus at dismissal, you will automatically receive a push notification via the P3 Sportsplex app and an email letting you know they are safely on board and headed to our facility.
What is the difference between After-School enrichment and standalone evening classes?
In our After-School Program, students are grouped into teams that rotate through different classes each day of the weekβincluding Martial Arts, Gymnastics/Tumbling, Dance, Parkour, and STEMβplus outdoor play and homework time. If your child falls in love with a specific sport and wants to earn belt ranks or advance faster, they can also dual-enroll in our dedicated standalone evening programs for Martial Arts (Taekwondo/Jiu-Jitsu), Cheerleading, or Tumbling.
How do I book classes or register my After-School/Camp child for evening programs?
Everything runs smoothly through our P3 Sportsplex App. Once you are enrolled in a program (Martial Arts, Cheer, or Tumbling), simply download the app, tap the red "Class Schedule" tab, and reserve the exact days and times that fit your familyβs week. If your child is currently in After-School or Summer Camp and wants to add a formal evening program, just reach out to our admin team between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM and we will send you a quick enrollment link.
How does P3 handle Knox County Schools' early release and scheduled half-days?
As a perk of being a P3 After-School member, all scheduled KCS early release and half-days are 100% included in your membership at no extra tuition charge! On early release days, KCS provides a sack lunch before dismissal. On half-days, your child can either bring a packed lunch from home or register for our in-house Pizza Party. (We just ask that you mark your child absent by 10:00 AM if your child will not need bus pickup on those days.)
How does the afternoon pickup procedure work at the Kingston Pike facility?
To keep all children safe and traffic flowing smoothly, all After-School and Camp pickups take place using our rear drive-thru pickup loop (at 11805 Kingston Pike, turn right at the dentistβs office and follow the signs around the backβfront-door pickup is not permitted for safety reasons): Use your app to request pickup at least 10 minutes before you arrive. Our staff will get your child packed up and waiting at the dismissal area. (Note: A randomized dismissal code generated from our secure app is required before we release any child, so please share this code with grandparents or authorized pickups if needed!)
What should I do if my child is absent from school and doesn't need bus pickup?
If your child stays home sick, leaves school early, or is riding home with you, please mark your child absent in our P3 Sportsplex app or text us at 865-272-4853 by 1:00 PM daily (or by 10:00 AM on early release days). Because our bus drivers will not leave a school campus until every scheduled child is accounted for, unnotified absences delay the route for all families and incur a $25 non-notification fee.
What ages do you accept, and does my child need prior athletic experience?
We welcome kids from preschool all the way up to adults, and zero prior experience is needed. Here is who each program is for: Martial Arts runs from preschool to adult (Preschool, Kids, Teen and Adult classes). Tumbling is preschool to 8th grade. Cheer is kindergarten to 8th grade. After School is kindergarten to 5th grade. Summer Camp and Day Camps are kindergarten to 6th grade. Our beginner classes are designed to build body control, coordination and confidence from day one.
