Joseph Rogers Primary School

We are excited for our 2nd Annual Valentine's Day Dance. The cost for student entry is $5. Parents may join their child for free, or you can drop them off at the door. If you chose to leave, please be prepared to sign them in and sign them out. If someone else is picking up your child, we will need a name. That person will need to provide ID to be able to pick them up. At the dance, we will have concessions and small items to purchase (necklaces, glow bracelets, heart glasses). The items range in price from $1-$2. We will also have a photo setup in the hallway setup for you to make pictures. We hope to see you Thursday! JRP Staff

Our Valentine's Dance will be Thursday at 5:00! We hope to see you there!

District Announcement: Hawkins County Schools will operate normally tomorrow. Buses will operate on clear roads. Please see our website for updated road information. Welcome Back!

Today we're celebrating our incredible principals, assistant principals, associate principals, and deans of students! They lead our schools like true knights, ensuring our students and staff are supported every day. Thank you for your tireless efforts and commitment to our schools! #HCS #SchoolLeaders #AdminAppreciation

District Announcement: Hawkins County Schools will continue to be closed on Thursday, February 5 and Friday, February 6, due to unsafe secondary roads. Although the recent rain and warming temperatures have helped improve some of the road conditions, 80-85% of our secondary routes remain unsafe for bus travel. Due to warming temperatures and sunshine forecast over the weekend and into next week, we aim to open schools and run buses on clear routes beginning Monday. If this plan changes, we will send and post updates. Please refer to the HCS Bus Changes page: https://www.hck12.net/o/hcsd/page/buses for updates to our roads and affected routes.

In honor of School Counselor Week, we want to recognize Kim Harville, who goes above and beyond for our school community. She takes a proactive role in addressing chronic absenteeism, working closely with students and families to ensure every child has the support they need to be present and successful. Kim also teaches essential social-emotional and life skills to our youngest learners, including sharing and taking turns, identifying and managing emotions, problem-solving, self-regulation, and building positive friendships—skills that lay the foundation for lifelong success. No matter the situation, Kim is always on the other end of the walkie, ready to respond with kindness, guidance, and a calm presence. JRP is truly blessed to have her, and her dedication, compassion, and tireless support make our school a better, more caring place for students, staff, and families alike.

Hawkins County Schools will be closed Tuesday, February 3 and Wednesday, February 4 due to road conditions throughout the county.

Our Valentine's Dance has been rescheduled to February 12th. ❤️

District News:
💙 Appreciation for Our JRP Related Arts Team 💙

The JRP Related Arts team consistently demonstrates strong collaboration and unity during their weekly PLCs. They work diligently as part of the Attendance Team, approaching each task with care, commitment, and a true focus on students. The team also builds and maintains positive relationships with our students every day.

Most recently, they stepped in without hesitation to cover bus duty for a colleague during an unexpected situation. Their teamwork, reliability, and student-centered mindset truly set them apart, and we are grateful for all they do for Joseph Rogers Primary School.
