There has been a tremendous amount of progress made restoring power to almost all of our schools & to to a large portion of our communities. Due to the effects of the storm many roads have been impacted and this will result in some altered bus routes. An updated bus route schedule will be released Friday evening. Because of the power outage TCPS did experience some loss of food and all dairy products. We have been advised that new supplies will begin arriving Friday to our schools.
We will open all of our schools again on Monday, October 7, 2024. Because of the altered bus routes and the possibility of continued debris on the roadside we will operate on a 2hr delay both Monday, October 7th & Tuesday, October 8th.
Thank you to everyone for all of the support and understanding!

Good Morning, I hope that everyone is safe today as our communities continue to deal with the aftermath of the hurricane. As of now Tazewell County Public Schools will be closed Monday & Tuesday (September 30th & October 1st). This will be Code 10 for all employees. These days will be listed as virtual with no assignments being issued. I ask that our students assist their families & neighbors with clean up efforts. As soon as we can get power restored to our facilities we will determine when we can begin food service even if we are not back in school. Many of our citizens and families are without power and internet capabilities. Please help spread this message as much as possible. I will continue to send updates when I have them.
