Our Kindergarten students have been getting into the "swing" of things the past couple of weeks.
🎉 FIRST WEEK = COMPLETE! 🎉 What better way to wrap up the first week of school at Surgoinsville Elementary than with a little laughter, a lot of fun, and some seriously impressive inflatable fashion?! 😂🐝🦩🚀🐨 Our teachers have spent this week welcoming students, learning new names, establishing routines, building relationships, and filling our classrooms with excitement for the year ahead. And after a busy first week, we decided we deserved a little FUN, too! ❤️ If these pictures are any indication, this year is going to be one to remember! We may be tired, we may be hot, and we may have questioned some of our costume choices 😂…but we wouldn’t trade our SES family for anything! Week 1 is in the books! 🧡🖤 Here’s to a fantastic year of learning, laughter, memories, and plenty of reasons to smile. 🦅 It’s a GREAT day to be an EAGLE! 🦅

District Announcement:
Our student information system, Skyward, is currently down due to a server issue affecting school districts across Tennessee. Because of this, we are unable to complete student enrollments, make schedule changes, or process other student information until the system is back online.
We know this is frustrating, especially as we prepare for the new school year, and we appreciate your patience while the issue is being resolved. We'll continue working as soon as Skyward is available again and will share updates when we receive them.
Thank you for your understanding!

Updated dismissal time for Kindergarten
District Announcement:
Gear up for a great school year, Hawkins County!
As we get ready to welcome our students back, our incredible Transportation Department is working hard behind the scenes to ensure everyone has a safe ride to school.
To keep you fully informed, we want to share a quick update: like many districts across the country, we are currently running a bit short-staffed on drivers. Because of this, we will be starting the school year with a few "double routes."
What you need to know:
*We are still finalizing the schedule, so we don’t know exactly which routes will be doubled just yet.
*Rest assured, as we get closer to the start of school, we will share those specific details directly with you.
*We are very hopeful that this will be a temporary situation as we work to fill these positions!
Want to join our amazing team? We need your help to get us to 100%! If you or anyone you know loves serving our community, enjoys working with kids, and is interested in becoming a school bus driver, we would love to talk to you.
Please call the Hawkins County Schools Transportation Department (423-272-7629 Ext: 2504) today to learn more or apply!
Thank you, Hawkins County families, for your patience, support, and flexibility as we work together to make this a fantastic and safe school year for our kids! #HawkinsCountySchools #CommunityStrong #BackToSchool #HCSignite
