We are loving our new HCS App!
Stay updated with access to events, documents, news from administrators, student stories, and even emergency notifications.
We are excited to announce our newest feature added to our HCS App is “Rooms” which offers parent-teacher communication. Parents can see classroom announcements and message teachers in the same app where they get district and school news and updates. Teachers can find all of their messages on one platform. Students can message their teacher directly with questions about upcoming assignments. This is a safe space for student-teacher communication that is monitored by administrators.
If you do not have the Hawkins County Schools App, please download the Hawkins County Schools app for free on both Google Play or Apple App Store.

Welcome back to the 2023-24 school year with Hawkins County Schools. We have received some questions regarding school supplies. Please see below.
1. Hawkins County Schools will provide all materials and resources needed for the basic educational program in each class and school. As a school system, one of our primary roles is to ensure all students have the basic instructional materials needed to successfully navigate all courses and fields of study within our school system.
2. We will provide each of you, as needed, a list of supplies we will provide each student, and what you as a parent, will need to provide. Items like backpacks, will need to be provided by parents.
3. In addition, you may receive “optional supply” lists from your child’s teacher as we enter the start of the school year. Please realize these items are completely optional. Please know that we provide optional supply lists for those who ask our schools how they can assist with extra supplies and resources. For those who have the means and wish to participate, we appreciate this. However, if you cannot assist or simply choose not to do so, your child will not be excluded, made to feel left out, or not provided with the supplies in question.
Thank you for partnering with Hawkins County Schools. We look forward to working with all of you this year.
Matt Hixson, Director
