Grainger County Schools is pleased to inform you that we will be implementing a program available to schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).

What does this mean for you and your children?

Great news! All enrolled students in Grainger County Schools are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no cost to your household each day of the school year. Your children will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. This program begins on January 4, 2024. Students will still have the opportunity to purchase ala carte items, however, they are not allowed to charge for these items. They must have cash on hand or money in their account to purchase any ala carte items..

If your child has a negative balance it must be paid in full by December 20, 2023 or have a payment plan in place and approved by the School Nutrition Coordinator by this date. Payments can be made directly to the school cafeteria by cash or check or online at Linqconnect.com.

If you have any questions about CEP or about your child’s account, please contact the School Nutrition Office at 865-828-3775 or email tedde@gcs123.net.

If you need to enroll a student in a Grainger County School, we now offer online enrollment. Please click here and choose the appropriate school(s) online enrollment form. After you have competed the form, you may contact the school(s) for additional information on completing the enrollment process. If you are unsure of what school your child will attend, please call the Grainger County Board of Education office at 865-828-3611. Online enrollment forms can also be found on the schools' website under the School Info drop down menu.

To better serve parents and to provide clear insight into student achievement, the Tennessee Department of Education has opened a TCAP Family Portal. This online resource offers detailed, personalized information about student’s progress on the Spring 2021 TCAP exams. Visit https://familyreport.tnedu.gov/login to register for the Family Portal using the student’s State ID. This State ID can be found in your ParentVue or StudentVue accounts under the Student Info tab or on any past printed TCAP report.

Grainger County Schools' substitute teachers continue to be employed by StaffEZ. This allows our substitutes to work five days a week if they choose to accept jobs everyday. Substitutes are still needed in all areas. Anyone interested in substituting MUST complete the StaffEZ online application. The application must be completed with a laptop or desktop computer. Applicants will get an error if using a cell phone to complete the application.

Anyone with questions may contact Roger Blanken at 865-828-3611 or email rblanken@gcs123.net.
