Parents and guardians, we will be fully enforcing our cell phone expectations, particularly at the high school level this school year, beginning August 5. As a reminder, we did not allow cell phone use in classrooms last year. This year, we will move to not allow cell phones to be used during school. This is in accordance with Board Policy 6.312, which states, “Middle school students’ cell phones and other electronic devices are to be turned off and not visible upon a student’s arrival to school (upon entering the school building) until the end of the student’s school day. High school students are not permitted to use cell phones during or between classes unless it is for academic purposes, under direct supervision of a classroom teacher.” Thank you for your understanding and support.
Reminder: Today is Election Day and our School is a Polling Place. We have reserved some parking spots for Voters to use this afternoon. Please make sure as you come to the Back to School Bash to leave those spots free for voters.
Thank you so much!
We are so excited to have these fantastic teachers join the Hawkins County School District family!! Our new teachers were treated to a delicious Bull Babies breakfast (courtesy of HCEA/Quinn Kersey) to get the New Teacher Orientation started off right. The day was filled with exemplary teachers sharing a wealth of information to help our newest teachers have a successful year. HCS is blessed with the best!

“The Tennessee Department of Health requires all children entering 7th grade to have a
T-dap booster vaccine, Tetanus-Diphtheria and Pertussis. Children entering the 7th grade must show proof of this immunization to be admitted to school in August. If you have not already done so, please make an appointment with your health care provider or local health department for your child’s vaccine. All immunizations must be on the official TN Dept. of Health Certificate. Please turn your documentation into your school.
Children with medical exemptions must provide documentation from their medical provider. Religious exemptions require a signed statement by the parent/guardian that vaccination(s) conflict with their religious tenets or practices.
Thank you.”

Parents/Guardians,
We will be taking up car rider tags this week. If your student has a CarRider Pro tag and will not be a car rider the rest of the year you can send those back to the school any day. If your student will be a car rider please keep your tags until Wednesday. If you have an envelope please place your tags in it and write your students name on it. If you have another student starting Kindergarten in August please write their name as well and I will add them to the tag over the summer. Any tags that you have purchased, and return to the school, will be redistributed in August. If you do not return the tags and they are lost or damaged over the summer you will have to purchase new tags should you need them. Thank you.
Hawkins County Schools will operate on a two hour delay tomorrow. Weather reports for this evening show the potential for large amounts of rain and high winds. Debris in roadways may affect bus routes as well. Please be advised and look for bus route information on our website.
Hawkins Co. Schools will dismiss today, May 8th at 2:30p;m due to inclement weather.
