Good Afternoon! We are excited to welcome our students back to school tomorrow and hope you had a Merry Christmas! If your child has any symptoms or is awaiting COVID test results, please do not send your child to school. You may call the school nurse if you have questions.

Parents, please wash your child's book bag and other items, as well as write your child's name in or on the items so that the item can be returned if lost.
If your child has a fever or has any symptoms, please call and speak with the school nurse before sending your child to school on Wednesday, January 6th to avoid the spread of germs.
We can't wait to welcome back our wonderful students on Wednesday, January 6th and hope that you have had a wonderful holiday season!

Heard County School System will be closed for children on Thursday, September 17th. School will be closed due to an overabundance of caution after watching the 11:30 a.m. National Weather Service briefing. We have large concerns for the amount of rain forecasted for our area. Dirt roads and gravel roads will likely be washed out and make travel impossible in some areas.

Parents: A revised lunch menu will be sent home with your child today or you may check our school website for the menu changes:
