What This Hamblen County Board of Education Guide Covers

Calendar intent

Hamblen County School Calendar: 2026-2027 Dates, First Day, Fall Break and Holidays

The official 2026-2027 School Calendar page lists teacher return and in-service days, registration day, the first full day of school, holidays, fall break and other school-year dates. For 2026-2027, the page lists July 30 as Registration Day / 1st Day of School with 11:15 dismissal and August 3 as the first full day of school.

If you searched “Hamblen County school calendar 2026,” “Hamblen County school schedule,” “first day back to school,” “fall break,” “Labor Day no school,” “early dismissal,” or “school supply lists,” treat those as separate tasks. Use the official calendar for dates, the district news area for supply lists, and the school page for school-specific events.

Printable calendar

Use for the school-year overview, family planning, breaks, teacher work days and school closures.

District events

Use the District Calendar for upcoming events, board items and live district-level dates.

School supply lists

Use the official TeacherLists/supply-list route from district announcements when planning back-to-school shopping.

School-specific dates

Use the individual school page for orientation, athletics, ceremonies and school-level activities.

Calendar caution: Do not plan work leave, travel, child care or pickup arrangements from an old screenshot. Confirm the correct school year on hcboe.net before making final decisions.

Hamblen County Board Meetings, Agendas, YouTube Videos and Policy Records

Board basics

Hamblen County Board Members, Superintendent, Policies and Board Role

The official Board Information page says the Hamblen County Board of Education consists of seven members. It says the board appoints the superintendent of schools, board members are elected for four-year terms, and the board is responsible for setting educational policy for the school system.

The superintendent serves as the chief executive officer of the district and as secretary to the board. The district Superintendent page lists Arnold W. “Arnie” Bunch, Jr. as Superintendent of Schools. Because board officers take office each September and roles can change, always recheck the official School Board section before publishing names, titles or contact details.

Parent tools

Hamblen County PowerSchool Parent Portal, Returning Student Forms and SchoolMessenger Alerts

Hamblen County uses PowerSchool Parent Portal for student and parent sign-in. The portal page notes that a parent account lets families view all students with one account and manage account preferences. It also notes that returning student information update and forms collection begins in 2026 for the 2026/2027 school year.

The SchoolMessenger Parent Setup page recommends customizing contact preferences through ParentPortal. Families can choose how they receive messages through phone call, email or text. It also says to contact the child’s school if a ParentPortal account needs to be set up, and to text “YES” to 67587 to opt in for SMS messages after making sure the correct cell phone is on file.

Parent Portal

Use for student information, account preferences and returning-student form collection.

SchoolMessenger

Use for phone, email and text notification preferences.

SMS opt-in

Text YES to 67587 after confirming your correct cell phone number is on file.

Setup trouble

Contact your child’s school if you need a ParentPortal account or access help.

Enrollment

Hamblen County New Student Enrollment and Returning Student Information Update

The district’s homepage and enrollment routes point families to new student enrollment and returning student information updates for the 2026-2027 school year. New families should use the official enrollment route, while returning families should use PowerSchool Parent Portal for returning-student information updates and forms collection when the window opens.

If you searched “Hamblen County school enrollment,” “new student enrollment,” “returning student forms,” “registration 2026-2027,” “proof of residence,” or “school supply lists,” prepare documents and use only district-linked pages. Do not submit birth certificates, residency documents, custody papers, health information or student records through unofficial websites.

1

Confirm new or returning status

New student enrollment and returning-student information updates use different official routes.

2

Prepare documents before starting

Have residency, identity, health, immunization and prior-school documents ready if required.

3

Use Parent Portal for returning forms

Returning student update and forms collection requires a working ParentPortal account.

4

Call the school for access issues

If account setup fails, contact your child’s school instead of using random login pages.

Transportation and zones

Hamblen County School Zone Locator, Bus Information and Transportation Help

The district links a school zone and bus information tool from its quicklinks and family resources. If you searched “Hamblen County school zone,” “what school do I attend,” “bus information,” “bus route,” “find my zoned school,” or “can my child ride a bus,” use the district-linked locator rather than guessing from a map.

For student-specific transportation concerns, have the student’s name, school, grade, address, route concern and callback number ready before contacting the school or transportation department. Same-day dismissal changes should usually begin with the school office.

Zoned school

Use the official locator to check school zone by address before enrolling or moving.

Bus information

Use district-linked transportation tools and confirm changes near the start of school.

Daily issue

Call the school first for dismissal and pickup issues that affect today’s student routine.

Moving caution

Do not assume the nearest school is your assigned school. Verify with the official tool.

Employment

Hamblen County Board of Education Jobs, Frontline, Internal Applicants and Substitute Training

Hamblen County School District job postings are handled through Frontline. The official Frontline page lists categories such as administration, elementary school teaching, high school teaching, middle school teaching, school nutrition, secretarial/clerical, security, student support services, substitute, technology and transportation.

If you searched “Hamblen County school jobs,” “teacher jobs,” “substitute teacher,” “school nutrition jobs,” “transportation jobs,” “security jobs,” “student support jobs,” “internal transfer,” or “salary scales,” treat each as a separate employment path. External applicants, internal applicants, current substitutes and non-active staff may need different links and login support.

Job intentWhat it meansBest first action
External applicantNew applicant looking for teaching, support, nutrition, security or transportation work.Open Frontline and start an employment application.
Internal applicantCurrent employee looking for internal positions or transfer form.Use the internal applicant section in Frontline.
Substitute teacherSubstitute category, orientation and annual safety training.Open substitute orientation and annual safety training links from district announcements.
Salary scalesPay-scale research before applying or comparing jobs.Use Salary Scales from Human Resources in the district directory.
Staff Skyward loginStaff/business login route, not a parent portal.Use staff instructions; non-active staff/substitutes may need Personnel or Business Department support.
Applicant tip: Search jobs by category and school location in Frontline. Job counts and openings can change daily, so save the official Frontline page rather than a copied job post.
Meals and payments

Hamblen County School Nutrition, MyPaymentsPlus and Meal Account Help

The district directory links School Nutrition and MyPaymentsPlus. If you searched for “Hamblen County school lunch,” “meal payments,” “MyPaymentsPlus,” “menus,” “school nutrition,” or “lunch account,” use the district-linked nutrition and payment pages so you do not pay through a wrong or unofficial payment page.

Meal payments

Use MyPaymentsPlus from the district-linked route when adding money or checking accounts.

Menus

Use school nutrition resources or the school page for current menu information.

Account questions

Contact school nutrition or the school office for student-specific account concerns.

Payment safety

Never enter card details on a random lunch-payment site that is not district-linked.

Schools and local help

Hamblen County Schools List and School-Level Help

The district site links elementary, middle, high and alternative school pages, including Alpha Elementary, East Ridge Middle, Fairview Marguerite, Hillcrest Elementary, John Hay Elementary, Lincoln Heights Elementary, Lincoln Heights Middle, Manley Elementary, Meadowview Middle, Miller Boyd Alternative, Morristown-Hamblen High School East, Morristown-Hamblen High School West, Russellville Elementary, Union Heights Elementary, West Elementary, West View Middle, Whitesburg Elementary and Witt Elementary.
