Ahoy, mateys! Let's celebrate our fantastic food service workers! They are the hearties of the galley, working day in and day out to make sure our students have the finest grub to fuel their minds and bodies for the voyage of learning. Thank you for all you do! #HCS #FoodServiceAppreciation #AhoyMatey

Good Morning JRP families, Some received a notification that their child owed money on their lunch account. This was a system error. All charges have been removed.

Just a reminder that there will be no YMCA Tuesday afternoon due to the 2nd Grade Christmas program.

These missing glasses would like to go back to their person! If these belong to your student have them go by the office and pick them up.

Hawkins County Schools will operate on a 2 hour delay, Monday, Dec. 15th.

Dear Joseph Rogers Primary Families, During our 1st Grade Christmas meal, an adult visitor experienced a medical emergency. I made the decision to initiate a green lockdown (secure-in-place) while Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived and attended to the individual. The lockdown lasted approximately 15 minutes. Please be assured that there were no safety concerns for our students or staff at the time of the lockdown. Thank you, Tiffany Floyd Principal Joseph Rogers Primary

The speed of digital media is changing fast! Artificial Intelligence can now create incredibly realistic videos and audio (known as "deepfakes"). This makes teaching our children to think critically about everything they see and hear online more important than ever.

For amazing, trusted resources to help guide these conversations with your child, check out the free guides and articles available from Common Sense Media.

Let's partner to raise digitally savvy and safe students!
