Bristol Tennessee City Schools

Thank you for taking time to review the Bristol Tennessee City Schools District Handbook for Students and Parents! A culture of high expectations is necessary to foster success in both academics and life. Students, parents/guardians, teachers, staff, and administrators share the responsibility for maintaining order at school by complying with the privileges, rules, and codes of conduct of our district. This handbook's primary purpose is to communicate our intent to maintain a safe and orderly environment where each student’s rights are protected, and each student is given equitable opportunity to achieve college and career readiness through academic excellence.

The procedures and standards outlined within conform to the Bristol Tennessee Board of Education student discipline policy, in compliance with the Student and Employee Safe Environment Act. If you need a printed copy of this handbook, please contact your child’s school. If you have questions regarding the contents, please contact your school principal.

Thank you for your cooperation and supporting our efforts to make the school environment safe for our students and employees.
