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.

Tomorrow we will be having a fun day for students! We will be having a house party in the morning, wear your house colors.
Then after lunch we will be having a movie and concessions. We will be watching Migration. Students can bring a towel to sit on for the movie. Students have already purchased concessions but we may have some popcorn, water and a few candy options if they did not get their orders in earlier.
These events are for students only.


Concession Orders
We will have some extras for concessions sales for the end of the year celebration movie. If you did not get your orders in and would still like to, go ahead and continue sending them in. The items will be sold on a first come first serve basis, so some items may be sold out. Thank you for your support!
