Haynesfield Families,

As we kick off the school year, here's a quick reminder of one of our school expectations. Students should not bring outside food or drinks to school, which includes Morning Leaps. We also do not allow soda or energy drinks during the school day.

This policy helps us provide a safe, healthy, and equitable learning environment for every student. By limiting outside food and drinks, we can better support students with food allergies, minimize distractions, encourage healthy choices, and maintain consistent expectations across our school.

Thank you for helping us keep our focus on learning and for supporting our school expectations. We appreciate all you do for Haynesfield!

Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, Bristol Tennessee City Schools elementary schools will implement a five-minute schedule adjustment. The tardy bell will ring at 8:15 a.m. (previously 8:10 a.m.), and dismissal will be at 3:15 p.m. (previously 3:10 p.m.). Instructional time will remain unchanged. Middle and high school schedules will remain unchanged at 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

This adjustment is designed to improve transportation efficiency, support more consistent bus arrival and dismissal times, and provide students on longer bus routes with additional time to eat breakfast before the school day begins. Elementary school doors will open for student arrival at 7:55 a.m. Morning LEAP will be available at each elementary school. Please reach out to your child's school for LEAP details.

We appreciate your partnership as we make this adjustment to better support our students and families.
