23 Jul The First Week of School at a Glance

August 3 – 7

The Cocke County School System will begin the 2020-2021 school year with a staggered start for students who will be enrolled in the Traditional Learning option in our school buildings. The staggered beginning to the school year provides staff and students with the opportunity to get accustomed to the new safety protocols we have established in a smaller group setting.

Individual schools will be contacting the families of their students to communicate which day their child or children will attend school in person the first week. They will also communicate the plan for remote learning for students on the days they will not be in school the first week.

Please note that students will only attend school in-person on either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday during the week of August 3rd. There will be no school for students on Thursday or Friday due to Election Day and a Teacher In-Service Day.
