Hybrid Phase Continues Until Fall Break
SHS will remain in the hybrid phase until Friday, Oct. 9.
Face masks will continue to be required for students and staff members when they are not able to social distance, and temperatures will be taken as they enter the building.
The district’s goal is to return all students to in-person instruction daily as soon as possible, while protecting the health and safety of our students, staff members and community.
TSSAA Sports Guidelines
The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association’s Board of Control has adopted a series of regulations affecting ALL SPORTS to keep students, school staff and spectators safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
These TSSAA regulations and guidelines are in effect immediately for all sports:
• Temperature check required for entry. No one whose temperature measures above 100.4°F will be permitted to enter.
• All spectators must wear masks and maintain social distancing from anyone other than those living in the same household. Social distancing is defined as six feet, or the equivalent of two empty seats between themselves and other fans.
In addition, here’s some other important information you’ll need to know this year:
• Stadium capacity will be limited at each school.
• No spectators will be allowed on the field (not inside the fence).
• Concession stand items will be limited.
• Restrooms will be available.
GoFan
- For our high school football and basketball games this season, spectators can also purchase tickets before the game using the GoFan app or website (you will be charged a convenience fee).
- No online tickets will be sold after noon for a Friday game. Tickets must be presented using your mobile device at the designated gate (instructions are included on the GoFan page).

Virtual Learning Code of Conduct
- While on Schoology, what I say and how I say it will be school appropriate.
- I will use posts to discuss school-related content only and use school appropriate language. Do not post questions or comments about personal issues or topics.
- I will use a respectful tone of voice when posting. All school rules and consequences related to harrassment apply to Schoology.
- If you're not sure if a word, joke, or image is okay, then it's probably not. DO NOT write posts that tease, bully, annoy, spam, or gossip about any other person.
- I will not reveal any personal information on Schoology. This includes telephone numbers, addresses, emails, etc. Keep private information private.
- Keep your conversations on topic.
- If you think there is something inappropriate posted on Schoology, tell your teacher immediately.
