Clothes Closet Needs
We have a clothes closet at Sevier for students to use if they need to change clothes or if they are in need of clothes. We encourage students to keep what we give them when they come to the clothes closet. We are in desperate need of boys shoes, especially size 10 and up.
We also need new girl underwear (we go through a lot), girls leggings (small and medium sizes), boys shorts-all sizes. If you are ever cleaning out your closets and need somehwere to take the old clothes, please think of us! We appreciate and rely on donations!
Thank you!
Kingsport City Schools Accepting Zoning and Tuition Applications for 2020-2021 School Year
KINGSPORT, Tenn. – Kingsport City Schools will begin accepting Zoning and Tuition Applications for students in grades K–12 for the 2020-2021 school year beginning Sunday, March 1, 2020.
Parents who would like to request their child attend a different city school instead of one for which their child is zoned, must apply for a zoning exception. Parents of students who are not legal residents of the City of Kingsport must submit a tuition application to attend Kingsport City Schools. Parents or legal guardians must apply annually for their child’s tuition and zoning status, even if they attended Kingsport City Schools during the preceding school year.
Applications can be found here: Zoning and Tuition link 2020-21
The following are excerpts from the Kingsport Board of Education’s policies and procedures for zoning and tuition:
- Parents or legal guardians must apply annually for their child’s tuition and zoning status.
- Students who are not legal residents of the City of Kingsport shall pay tuition charges as approved annually by the Board of Education.
- Failure to pay tuition will disqualify a student’s application for the next year.
- Tuition students are accepted and zoning exceptions are granted only if current enrollment permits.
- The system does not provide bus transportation for tuition or zoning exception students, except in specific circumstances.
- Documented medical reasons
- Child care availability
- An expected move to a different zone
- Specialized school programs
- A fifth or an eighth grade student with a previous zoning exception
- Documented justifications related to the child’s specific educational experience
- Zoning and tuition for Kingsport City Schools employees and retirees, as well as City of Kingsport employees
- Zoning exception reapplications
- Siblings of currently enrolled out-of-zone students
- New zoning exception applications
- Tuition reapplications
- Siblings of currently enrolled tuition students
- New tuition applications for out-of-district residents
To find out the school for which your child is zoned, please refer to the online School Zones and Street Directory listed under the “School Zones and Street Directory” link under “Parents” at k12k.com, or call the KCS Administrative Support Center at (423) 378.2100.

Remembering Ashley Guice..
No doubt by now you have heard the sad news that former Warrior Orchestra teacher Ashley Guice has passed away. Many of you still remember Ashley's passion and advocacy on behalf of her students. She will be deeply missed.
Although our third issue of the Scribe is due to the printer in short order, it would be fitting for our student newspaper to include a tribute to Ashley in its pages.
If you knew Ashley and would like to share a story about her, an anecdote, or just your feelings on her passing, please send me your comments in an email, and one of our editors will try to work up a short article during Wednesday's meeting.
Thank you.

YMCA Teacher Surveys- UT SWORPS/ELAP
YMCA Teacher Surveys- UT SWORPS/ELAP
The CCLC Grant Teacher Surveys will be sent out starting Sunday, March 1; it is VERY important for these to be filled out since it could help or hurt our YMCA Grant funding for next year. Some teachers may get multiple on students and others will not receive any due to the emails listed on elap. The surveys will be sent by either UT SWORPS or ELAP. They may go to junk mail so please check that as well! If there are Questions/Comments please contact Casey Adams at cadams@ymcakpt.org.
Thank you for your support!!
CLASSROOM GRANT OPPORTUNITIES-Kingsport City Schools Education Foundation, Inc

Coffee Cart-Feel Good Friday
Feel Good Friday just keeps getting better! Stephen Baker had the awesome idea to start up a coffee cart for the Warrior Academy kiddos and the FA-3 kiddos to run together on Friday mornings. The cost will be $1.00 per cup, and we have creamers and sweeteners as well!
The funds will just replenish the cart from week to week, but the personal interaction and functional skills the kids are going to learn from this will be invaluable! I am looking forward to watching them grow throughout the year and build relationships with you all through this venture!
I have included the Google Sheet that we will use each week to fill orders. There is a cell for your name, classroom number for 1st period assignments, type of drink, and if you need a disposable cup, or if you'll have your own mug for us to make it in!
Thank you all in advance for your support of this fun idea, and to Baker for getting it all together. I love our big Warrior Tribe!
Thanks again!
