Modernization of the Duplicate Diploma & Education Verification Request Processes
The Tennessee Department of Education handles public requests for duplicate diplomas and education verifications, which have historically been processed using paper forms. Currently, the department is transitioning from a paper-based system to a digital format to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and productivity.
To support this change, the department is asking districts to remove any direct links to paper forms on their websites. Instead, districts should link to the department’s duplicate diploma and education verification webpage, where both the paper forms and the new online request form will be available.
Parent Square Notifications: Update
Now that we are in the midst of winter and the possibility of inclement weather affective the school day, we want to make sure you are receiving updates from the school system as they are released. In order to receive "the call" or receive messages from Parent Square, your contact information for your student needs to stay up-to-date. If you have changed your primary phone number contact, address, or primary email, please let our front office staff know as soon as possible. You may call 865-577-7040 to speak to our secretaries to update any necessary information.
If you are having issues with Parent Square, you can go to the app via the Apple App Store of the Google Play Store. The information provided to the school and loaded into your student's Skyward profile is synced with the Parent Square app every 24 hours. Of course, any closure or delay information is always communicated on the school's social media pages (Facebook and Twitter), as well as the school’s main website.
