As temperatures begin to drop, it's important to stay informed about potential schedule changes! For example, if there's a two-hour delay, school will start two hours later than usual but will dismiss at the regular time. For schedule change procedures and the best ways to stay informed when winter weather hits, go to www.btcs.org/schedulechanges.
The annual Johnia Berry Memorial Toy Drive is underway from November 1 through December 3. This heartfelt initiative invites the community to donate toys for infants up to age 14 at area Food City locations and the Tennessee High Office.
This toy drive is a tribute to Johnia Berry, a 2001 Tennessee High School graduate, who was passionate about dedicating her life to helping children. All toys collected will be distributed to children in Bristol, ensuring that the joy of the holiday season reaches those who need it most. The BTCS effort is coordinated by the THS Civinettes and the BTCS Family Resource Center.
The toy drive is sponsored by Food City, News Channel 11, and the Pharoahs Car Clubs of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. For more information, please visit johniaberry.org. Join us in honoring Johnia's legacy by bringing smiles to children this holiday season.

BTCS is excited to announce the establishment of the Bristol Tennessee City Schools Athletic Hall of Fame.
This prestigious new initiative will recognize and honor athletes, teams, coaches, administrators and special contributors who have made historically noteworthy contributions to the school district’s athletic programs, including both Tennessee High School and Slater High School.
