Make sure your Hawkins County mobile app is updated to the latest version so you can take advantage of recent improvements.
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.
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!
Thank you to the Hawkins County Sheriff’s Department, a suspect has been charged relating to recent Snapchat posts threatening disruption to our school operations and/or student and staff harm at Cherokee High School. At this point, this threat has been effectively dealt with and school will operate as normally planned. Thank you for those who shared the posts with staff, for those who shared information, and for those who continually monitor social media for such threats.
This is a reminder for families to apply for free or reduced-price lunch benefits for the 2023-24 school year!
If you have a student who had free or reduced benefits last year, you must apply for benefits for this school year. This includes students who attended a CEP school last year but are enrolled in a non-CEP school this year. Applications are available online and at your student’s school office.
Any student who had free or reduced benefits last school year and has not yet applied for benefits this school year, will move to a paid status on 9/20/23. Any meal charges accrued because of the change in meal status will be the responsibility of the family.
If you have questions about your student’s meal status, please contact the Child Nutrition Office at 423-272-2128.

We are loving our new HCS App!
Stay updated with access to events, documents, news from administrators, student stories, and even emergency notifications.
We are excited to announce our newest feature added to our HCS App is “Rooms” which offers parent-teacher communication. Parents can see classroom announcements and message teachers in the same app where they get district and school news and updates. Teachers can find all of their messages on one platform. Students can message their teacher directly with questions about upcoming assignments. This is a safe space for student-teacher communication that is monitored by administrators.
If you do not have the Hawkins County Schools App, please download the Hawkins County Schools app for free on both Google Play or Apple App Store.
