All Hands on Deck!

Charting the course together for every child’s success.

Tennessee Schools for the Deaf is excited to host the 28th Annual Family Learning Weekend on our Knoxville campus from May 29 to May 31, 2026.

Family Learning Weekend is a special opportunity for families to come together to learn, connect, and discover helpful resources. Throughout the weekend, families can explore learning sessions, participate in hands-on activities, and join conversations focused on supporting deaf and hard of hearing children, all in line with our theme for this year: All Hands on Deck!

Families will also have the chance to connect with TSD staff, community partners, and organizations from across the state and nation, while building relationships with other families who share similar experiences.

Join us at TSD’s beautiful Knoxville campus for a welcoming and family-centered weekend. Children can enjoy fun activities while parents and caregivers participate in sessions and explore valuable resources. It is a time to learn, share, and strengthen the community that supports our students and families.

Attend the full weekend, or join us for Saturday only.
