Three Rivers School wants to complete the semester prior to Christmas break and this is why their start date is in early August. That decision is revisited each year. They do give a full week off at Thanksgiving as students’ families prefer that. The Board of Education ruled that masks are optional at Three Rivers School; that’s for students, teachers and staff. Most of their teachers and staff are vaccinated. They did have eighteen (18) positive COVID cases when school began; three of which were teachers. They report all positive COVID cases to the Health Department. Three Rivers School has a program called STEP UP. Principals visibly walk through the classrooms; how are students involved in school, clubs, sports, arts, etc. With keeping students engaged you keep them out of trouble. The school has a very positive climate and culture. The school had a recognition ceremony for the previous superintendent, Ms. Rhonda Bohannon. She worked very hard in getting the new, state-of-the-art school built. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department has assigned one police officer to Three Rivers School, Officer Steve Makin.
