Home Schooling

There are two types of home school available to parents: independent home schools are those operated and supervised by the state; satellite home schools are those supervised by church-related home school organizations. Applications for both types of home school may be made by contacting Liz Weaver, Administrative Assistant of Student Services.

Private Schools

The Student Services Department works with local private schools to coordinate a variety of services that are available to students who live within the city limits of Bristol, Tenn., but attend private schools. Questions should be directed to Dr. Kyle Evans at 423-652-9233.

Nursing

The school nursing services comprise a system-wide Registered Nurse and one Licensed Practical Nurse per school. The RN is licensed in the state of Tennessee and accepts responsibility for planning, intervention, evaluation, management, and referral activities. RN's also serves as the direct link between physicians, families, and community agencies. This assures the students and staff access and continuity of health care services.

The LPNs are registered in the state of Tennessee. The LPNs, working under the RN's supervision, are responsible for any medical procedures to be performed during the day for the students and/or staff. Procedures may include medication administration, categorizations, trachea suctioning, parent contact, physician contact, and health screenings. All the clinics follow a standard of guidelines outlined in each student handbook and in accordance with the Policy and Procedure Manual of Bristol Tennessee City Schools.
