Word for the Warriors...
All students will begin TN READY testing this week! Our students have worked hard all year and this week, they will demonstrate what they know! Please make sure that your students get a good sleep tonight. Students need to eat a good breakfast tomorrow morning and need encouragement and reassurance that they will do just fine!

Warrior Whoop! (celebrations and recognitions)
- We got behind on announcing WOW Award Winners! Below are the last two worthy recipients of this faculty/staff award!
The following is from Erika Slaughter, our most recent W.O.W recipient:
It is very hard to pick just one member of the staff to get this award, but the person that continues to stand out in my mind is Julie Tester!! Julie is always ready to do anything and everything for someone when they need help! She has taken over two classes for the past few weeks, and never complained once! She will always go the extra mile no matter the task! She brings joy to this building always lifting up the staff and students! She is a true blessing to the Sevier family!
- Congratulations to our own 8th Grade Social Studies teacher, John Mallick, who was recently accepted to the Library of Congress Teacher Summer Institute!
