Word for the Warriors...
Dear Warrior Families,
I can't believe it, but the year has come to an end! Please make sure you look at the schedule of events below! We have a busy week ahead!
We have enjoyed this year with your children and with you! We do not take our jobs lightly and we have delighted in being an active part of the of lives of the students at Sevier!
We have such pride in our 8th graders and we are confident that they will be successful at Dobyns-Bennett and we look forward to keeping up with their accomplishments! For our returning students, we hope you have a wonderful summer and we look forward to your leadership next year!
Have a wonderful and relaxing summer!
Proud to be a Warrior,

Each year, KCS (Kingsport City Schools) asks families to participate in the KCS Parent Survey. This survey provides valuable information that is used for planning, setting goals, and making continuous improvements. Your input is extremely valuable. We would greatly appreciate if you would take a few moments to complete this brief survey. You may access the survey at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GHMSPKJ
Please fill out a survey for each school that your child(ren) attends. In addition, please contact your school if you would like a hard copy of the survey. The survey window will be open from May 1-18, 2017. Thank you for your time and attention in this important endeavor.
