First Day Of School In Hamilton County Is Next Thursday

  • Wednesday, August 2, 2017
As Hamilton County Schools students get ready to hit the books again next Thursday, Aug. 10, the Hamilton County Department of Education reminds parents about a few housekeeping items to make back to school a safe and successful experience:

- Parents who are new to Hamilton County must register their children at the school they will attend. Find your child’s zoned school here: School Zone Finder.

- Parents transferring their children to a new Hamilton County school will also need to register at that school.

- Make sure you know where your child’s bus stop is located.
Find your child’s bus stop here: Bus Stop Locator.

- If you need to contact HCDE’s Central Office staff, remember the number has changed.  Call 423-498-7020 with any inquiries about administration, transportation, student services, or student records.

Keeping these simple steps in mind, HCDE Superintendent Dr. Bryan Johnson believes back to school time can run smoothly across the County. “We are so excited to open the doors to the new school year and know that when every student shows up ready to learn on day one, it will be a terrific year,” Dr. Johnson said.  “Let’s work together to make the 2017-18 school year one of the best at HCDE."
