Sumner County Schools

Effective Tuesday, September 8, Sumner County Schools will end our hybrid schedule and return to our full-time traditional school schedule. All students K thru 12 will attend school five days a week until further notice. Per the district’s Pathway to Re-entry plan, our goal has been to return all students to in-person instruction daily as soon as possible, while protecting the health and safety of our students, staff and communities.

Sumner County Mayor Holt has extended his mask order through August 29, 2020. Per Sumner County Schools Pathway to Re-entry Plan, SCS is subject to all local and state requirements.

Students in middle and high school and all staff are required to wear face coverings while at school. Elementary students are strongly encouraged to wear face coverings while at school.
