Our third graders enjoyed watching The Lightning Thief today! โก๏ธ They were excellent audience members and did a great job representing TES!
We were honored to welcome Mrs. Kentucky to our school yesterday! ๐๐ฏ
She shared her heart for serving others as she introduced a new **service project supporting foster children**. Our students learned how small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone elseโs life. ๐
Mrs. Kentucky also encouraged students to make healthy choices, talked about the importance of good nutrition, and reminded everyone that they can be their own superhero by taking care of their bodies and making positive decisions each day. ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ๐
Thank you, Mrs. Kentucky, for inspiring our Tigers to serve others, live healthy, and shine from the inside out! โจ
Job well done to our academic team! Proud of their accomplishments!

Our archery team is currently 5th in the State for 3D and 8th in the State for bullseye! Check out their accomplishments from this past weekend! We are so proud of them!
Mrs. Burnsโ 1st graders have been working on comparing numbers in math. Today they worked in teams to create compare problems for their table and use compare number sticks to complete the statement. Students were active collaborators and empowered learners!
TES Families: Remember to RSVP for our VIP breakfast if you plan to attend on one of the dates! We ask that forms be turned in tomorrow.
TES 2nd graders recently participated in a Literacy Lock-in after school that focused on childrenโs book author, Jan Brett. Students got to learn more about her life as an author, listen to her books and learn where her inspiration for each book came from, build upon their comprehension skills, do a craft, and enjoy themed food. All students who attended also got to take home their own copy of The Mitten. It was a great night full of literacy!
On behalf of the students and teachers, we want to thank our parent volunteers, as well as the Spencer County Educational Foundation for their help in making this event possible!

Spencer County Community;
First, I want to thank you for your patience and flexibility as weโve navigated the recent winter weather. Our road crews and maintenance teams have been working tirelessly, and we are excited to welcome everyone back to the classroom!
Spencer County Schools will reopen on Monday, February 2, 2026, on a 2-hour delay.
While the main roads are clearing nicely, this delay is a strategic decision centered on safety. By pushing our start time back by two hours, we provide our bus drivers with the benefit of full daylight. This extra visibility is crucial for navigating narrow routes and managing turnarounds that may still be partially obstructed by large piles of plowed snow.
Important Points for Monday:
Start Time: All schools will begin exactly two hours later than their normally scheduled time.
Bus Pick-up: Your childโs bus will arrive approximately two hours later than the usual morning pick-up.
Our drivers are the best in the business, and we want to ensure they have every advantage as they get our students to school safely. Please continue to exercise caution on your morning commute and keep an eye out for those yellow buses.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday morning!
Warmly,
Dr. Willie Foster, Superintendent
Spencer County Schools

Unfortunately, there are still a handful of roads that are not safe for bus travel. We realize that this has been a challenging week for many families, our students, and our staff. We are optimistic that next weekโs forecasted temperatures will allow these areas to thaw and improve.
Spencer County Schools will be closed on Friday, January 30, 2026. This will be a traditional snow day.
