Valentine's Day Party Info 🩷❤️

A huge thank you to all of the individuals that made today possible!! We are so grateful for our RES Faculty, Staff, Rick Dodson, and our SRO officer, Wade Draper. We are also so thankful for our bus drivers from Overton County Schools, who picked up students so they could get their supplies. It was truly a group effort as everyone came together to support our RES families! We would also like to thank our first responders, emergency personnel, along with our city and county officials and staff members. We know it was a very difficult time for our community, but your hard work was greatly appreciated! We would like to also recognize our local businesses and others who made donations of water for our families. Thank you all for your support during these difficult times! As always, we are so thankful for our RES faculty and staff, along with our students and families. Thank you all for making today a success!!💜💛

Due to a countywide water emergency and a current boil water mandate, Overton County Schools will be closed on Thursday, February 5 and Friday, February 6.
At this time, portions of Overton County are already without water, and officials have indicated that other areas may lose water as well while crews work to locate and repair leaks in the system. Because schools cannot safely operate without reliable access to potable water for drinking, food preparation, restrooms, and sanitation, this closure is necessary to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff.
We understand the inconvenience this may cause for families, especially following recent weather-related closures. Please know this decision was made in close coordination with local officials and out of an abundance of caution.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and communicate updates regarding school operations as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we prioritize the safety of our school community.

Overton County Schools will be 2 hours late with bus driver discretion tomorrow, Wednesday, February 4, 2026.
