Panther families- Our thoughts and prayers go out to those involved in the bus accident this morning. I wanted to follow up and let you know that the bus involved in this accident does not service CHES, as we have received several calls. We ask that you join us in our prayers for those who are affected.
On the morning of Monday, February 26, 2024, I can confirm that an auto-accident occurred involving Hawkins County students and a Hawkins County bus driver. I am glad to report that only two students were involved. They were both transported from the scene to receive medical attention and appear to have suffered only minor injuries.
But I am heartbroken to report Aleita Gladson has passed away. Aleita was a longtime and valued Hawkins County Schools team member, as a bus driver, as a secretary, and as assistant director within our Transportation Department. Our prayers go out to her family, and we would ask that all those within our Hawkins County community keep Aleita’s family in your prayers as well.
We pray too for the other driver involved in this accident.
I will take a moment here as well to provide our heartfelt thanks to the many first responders who rushed to the accident scene to care for all those involved. At this time though, out of respect for all of the people and families affected by this tragic accident, neither I nor Hawkins County Schools will have any further comment.
Matt Hixson – Director of Schools

Rooms
What is Rooms?
Hawkins County Schools has implemented a new communication tool called "Rooms". This unified communication system is for parents and guardians to communicate with their student's teachers. Rooms is accessible through the Hawkins County Schools app. This page is designed to provide you with resources to understand how to use it and troubleshoot problems that may arise.
Where can I download the app?
Google Play
App Store
How do I get started with Rooms?
Step 1: Download the Hawkins County Schools mobile app. Enable notifications.
Step 2: Check your inbox for an email from@edurooms.com. Click “Create a password” in the email to connect your account with your student.
Step 3: Finish your registration by creating a password unique to edurooms or log in with Google, Microsoft, etc. You’ll use the same email address and password to log in to Rooms in the
district app. If there are problems with signing in, you can request a Guardian Invite from your child's teacher. You will receive a Magic Code and a Student ID that allows you to connect with your child's account.
Step 4: You can access Rooms by tapping the Rooms icon in the bottom right corner of the app. Sign in with the email the invitation was sent to and the password you created and start using Rooms!
Parents, please note that February 7 has been changed from a non-student staff development day to a full instructional day due to the days Hawkins County Schools were out during January’s inclement weather. Again, February 7, will be a full instructional day.
