This is Dr. Mischelle Simcox and I would to start by saying THANK YOU for supporting our students and staff during this school year. We have worked very hard to ensure that all of our students are receiving the best education possible during this COVID Pandemic.

I can’t believe that we have missed 18 snow days.  After today, we will be utilizing virtual learning snow days when it is too bad for our students to attend school due to weather.  K-2^nd grade teachers will have packets ready for students to work on for these days.  For grades 3^rd – 12^th, packets can be requested by parents but we do  believe the majority of your 3^rd – 12^th grade  students are prepared to utilize the online virtual platform (if there is internet access at home).  Students will not be penalized if they do not have the internet capability to complete the assignment on the virtual snow days, BUT they will be required to make up any missed work that was assigned.

There has been a change in the URL / Web Address for school system employees wanting to sign up for the COVID-19 vaccines. All employees who are interested in signing up should use this link below.

In partnership with ETSU Rural Track Medical Students and Jacob McGlamery the school based mental health clinician, we are pleased to present you with a "Coping Skills Resource Guide."  This is a guide for parents, teachers and students and contains several useful resources to help maintain good mental health especially during these trying times. Please share this with students and parents as you see fit. This guide was created by the students for their research project and a survey will be sent out later this year to gauge how effective these resources are for you. If you have any questions or comments please let me know. Thank you and have a great day!
