Please Remember:

MORNING AND AFTERNOON DROP OFF AND PICK UP

• Our building opens at 7:00 am. Please use the front drop off lanes to let students out where staff members will be assisting students. Please remember that the front parking lot is a staff parking lot - DO NOT let students out in the middle of the parking lot. Please use the drop off lanes. These procedures are the same for afternoon car pick up.
• When students enter the building, they may go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast, or 4th/5th grades to the theater and 6th/7th grades to the gym.
• Afternoon dismissal- If you arrive to get in the car line before 2:25 pm, please do not block both lanes in front of the building. Please line up in the right-hand lane only.

DAILY REMINDERS

• Please make sure your student comes prepared with the things they need for the day- backpacks, iPads, water bottles, lunch, tennis shoes for PE, and necessary classroom items.

CHANGE OF TRANSPORTATION

• If you need to make a change of afternoon transportation, please follow these procedures:

1. Email all of your student's core teachers asking them to communicate the change of afternoon transportation. In your email, ask that teachers respond to you to let you know that the change has been communicated to your student.
2. If you have not received confirmation of the communicated change by 2:00pm, please call the front office.

Please come out and cheer on our CGIS girls on the MJHS Lady Rebels team!

4th & 5th grade students will attend the 9:45am performance

Maryville City Schools parent note policy has changed this year. Please read the updated policy below and take this into consideration.

UPDATED CELL PHONE AND WEARABLE DEVICE POLICY

At the June Board of Education meeting, the School Board approved updates to Policy 6.312 in response to a new Tennessee state law (HB 932/SB 897). This legislation restricts the use of personal wireless communication devices, such as cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, and similar items, in schools.

Our policy requires that these devices be turned off and stored out of sight for the entire school day, unless specifically permitted for educational purposes by a teacher or administrator, or allowed under a student’s IEP or health plan. For CGIS students, this means no phones from 7:00am-2:40pm each day.

We believe this change will have a positive impact on student health, behavior, and focus by reducing distractions and preserving valuable learning time.

Please take a moment to review these expectations with your student before school begins. The full policy is available on the MCS website under Board Policies.

We are pleased to announce that there will be no increase in meal prices for the 2026-2027 school year. Maryville City Schools remains committed to providing nutritious, affordable meals for all students.

Families who qualify for free or reduced-price meals based on gross income are encouraged to complete the application, available at the link below. Please apply by Tuesday, September 15th to keep from lapsing from last year to this year.
