Parents will have many questions over the next few days and weeks. The school office will be open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and receptionist Elizabeth Jackson and nurse Kelly Jennings will be available to answer phone calls during that time. Our main phone number is 423-267-8546. If your child was absent last Friday, you may pick up items from the office during these hours. We have not determined whether the school office will be open next week, but we will communicate that once a decision is made.
Teachers will have "classroom hours" next week when they will be available to answer phone calls and emails. These hours will be listed in the schedule they send to parents. The hours listed on the sample schedule above may not be the hours your child's teacher is available. These classroom hours are for answering questions about distance learning. These hours are not intended for tutoring.
Our teachers are working very hard to plan and prepare schoolwork to keep your child engaged in learning and connected to his or her class. Our hope is that when classes resume in-person students will be ready to keep moving in their studies.
As campus is closed for classes, we also will not conduct sports, after school classes or other activities on school grounds.
If your child takes a music lesson through Cadek, please be looking for an email from Cadek or your instructor. There will be no in-person classes at Bright.
If you need resources regarding how to talk to your child about the coronavirus and what is happening, school counselor Rachel Blanton recommends this helpful
