It is the policy of the federal government, the state of Tennessee and this school district to seek out homeless students to ensure they get the opportunity for a free and appropriate education.

If you or your child fit into the descriptions of homelessness, we want to help. Who needs to come?

• If you are sharing a house with others due to loss of housing, financial problems.
• If you are living in a motel, RV park or camping ground because you can’t live in a regular house
• If you are living in an homeless shelter
• If you are awaiting foster care placement
• If you are living in public or private places where people don’t normally sleep
• If you are living in a car, a park, abandoned building or bus station
• If  you are  living in  a temporary place  because your parents  are moving to another job (migratory work)

What can we do?

• We will work to get you to and from school if you need it.
• We will make sure you get breakfast and lunch every school day, if you need it.

We will make sure you have school supplies you need

We can provide help getting such things a health care, clothes, or any other reasonable things that will work to get you an education
