Doors Open for Family and Friends: 4:15 PM

Good afternoon, BCS Families.
We want to share an announcement about school tomorrow, as well as schedule adjustments for next week.
While road conditions continue to improve, there are still many ice-covered secondary roads across the county. For the safety of our bus riders, teen drivers, parents, and staff, Buncombe County Schools will operate on a Remote Learning/Optional Teacher Workday Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026.
With the loss of three in-person learning days this week, BCS is making adjustments to next week’s calendar to provide our students time together with their teachers in school. Thursday, Feb. 12 will now be a full school day for students, instead of an early dismissal day. Friday, Feb. 13 will also be a regular student day, instead of an optional teacher workday. Weather permitting, we hope to have a normal school schedule Monday through Friday of next week.
For tomorrow’s remote learning, teachers will post assignments in learning management systems by 10 am, or may have sent paper packets home with students. Students will have up to 5 school days to complete assignments. Once they do, they’ll be counted present for the day/class period.
Lunch for the day will be available to eat in the cafeteria from noon to 1:00 pm at the following locations: AC Reynolds Middle School, Black Mountain Primary, Emma Elementary, Estes Elementary, Leicester Elementary, North Windy Ridge Intermediate, and Candler Elementary. Students are able to eat at no charge at any of the above locations, and parents can purchase a meal for $5.25.
Stay safe, and have a good evening!
Buenas tardes, familias de BCS.
Queremos compartir un anuncio sobre la escuela mañana, así como ajustes en el horario para la próxima semana.
Aunque las condiciones de las carreteras siguen mejorando, todavía hay muchas carreteras secundarias cubiertas de hielo en todo el condado. Por la seguridad de nuestros usuarios de autobuses, conductores adolescentes, padres y personal, las escuelas del condado de Buncombe funcionarán en modo de aprendizaje remoto/día de trabajo opcional para los profesores el miércoles 4 de febrero de 2026.
Debido a la pérdida de tres días de aprendizaje presencial esta semana, BCS está realizando ajustes en el calendario de la próxima semana para que nuestros alumnos puedan pasar tiempo con sus profesores en la escuela. El jueves 12 de febrero será ahora un día escolar completo para los alumnos, en lugar de un día de salida temprana. El viernes 13 de febrero también será un día escolar normal, en lugar de un día de trabajo opcional para los profesores. Si el tiempo lo permite, esperamos tener un horario escolar normal de lunes a viernes a partir de la próxima semana.
Los profesores publicarán las tareas en los sistemas de gestión del aprendizaje antes de las 10 de la mañana del miércoles, o bien podrían haber enviado paquetes en papel a casa de los alumnos. Los alumnos tendrán hasta 5 días para completar las tareas y, una vez completadas, se les contará como presentes para ese día o periodo.
El almuerzo de ese día estará disponible en la cafetería desde el mediodía hasta la 1:00 p. m. del miércoles en los siguientes lugares: AC Reynolds Middle School, Escuela Primaria Black Mountain, Escuela Elemental Emma, Escuela Elemental Estes , Escuela Elemental Leicester, North Windy Ridge Intermediate y Escuela Elemental Candler. Los alumnos pueden comer sin costo alguno en cualquiera de los lugares mencionados y los padres pueden comprar una comida por $5.25.
¡Cuídense y que pasen una buena noche!

Good morning, BCS teammates and families.
Due to updated forecasts of accumulating snow starting earlier than first expected, and road temperatures already falling into the 20s, Buncombe County Schools will dismiss students 2 hours early today, Friday Jan. 30, 2026. Buses will begin their routes, student drivers will be allowed to leave, and parents who pick up their students after school will need to do so 2 hours earlier than normal. Because of the length of their bus routes, this schedule change will allow all of our buses to get students home and be back at schools and off of the roads by 3:45, ensuring the safety of our students and our bus drivers. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Buncombe County beginning at 4 p.m.
Students will be served lunch before leaving.
We also want to let parents of car riders know your child will be safe and supervised at school until you arrive.
Stay safe, and have a nice weekend.
Debido a pronósticos actualizados que indican que la acumulación de nieve comenzará antes de lo esperado, y con las temperaturas de las carreteras ya descendiendo a los 20 grados, las Escuelas del Condado de Buncombe saldrán dos (2) horas más temprano hoy, viernes 30 de enero de 2026.
Los autobuses comenzarán sus rutas a la hora de salida anticipada. A los estudiantes que conducen se les permitirá salir, y los padres que normalmente recogen a sus hijos después de la escuela deberán hacerlo dos horas antes de lo habitual. Debido a la duración de las rutas de los autobuses, este cambio de horario permitirá que todos los autobuses lleven a los estudiantes a casa de manera segura y regresen a las escuelas y salgan de las carreteras antes de las 3:45 p. m., garantizando la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y conductores.
El Servicio Nacional de Meteorología ha emitido una Advertencia de Tormenta Invernal para el Condado de Buncombe a partir de las 4:00 p. m.
Los estudiantes recibirán almuerzo antes de salir.
Los estudiantes que esperan ser recogidos por sus padres permanecerán seguros y bajo supervisión en la escuela hasta que lleguen.
Manténganse seguros y que tengan un buen fin de semana.
As our entire area is now under a winter storm warning for this weekend, BCS has made the difficult decision to once again shift plans for our Mid-Year Graduation ceremony. With accumulating snow in the forecast, we will not be holding our ceremony downtown on Saturday, Jan. 31 in order to keep our graduates, families, and staff safe.
Each of our high schools will schedule its own special ceremony to honor our mid-year graduates. These celebrations will allow schools to recognize the hard work, resilience, and accomplishments of each student in a more personal and meaningful setting. Principals will share details about their ceremonies in the coming days.
We are incredibly proud of our mid-year graduates and all they have achieved. Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we work to celebrate this important milestone in a way that is both safe and memorable.
Good evening, BCS Families.
Our transportation crews have been back out on the roads assessing conditions across the county. Due to persistent patches of wintry accumulation, including black ice on several secondary roads in parts of the area, the Reynolds and Roberson districts of Buncombe County Schools, including the PEP Program, will operate on a 2-hour delay for students Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026. This delayed start gives DOT crews extra time to treat problem areas, and allows for travel with more daylight. All other BCS districts are on a regular schedule. Buses will not travel on icy roads
Breakfast will be served to students when they arrive at school.
Again, this is a 2-hour delay for only the Reynolds and Roberson districts, including the PEP Program, for Wednesday. All other BCS districts are on a regular schedule. Transportation teams will continue to monitor travel conditions, and we will update you should we need to further alter Wednesday’s school schedule.
Be safe, and have a good night.
Our transportation crews have been out assessing road conditions. Due to the continued travel impacts from the weekend’s winter storm, from Bent Creek to Garren Creek to Flat Creek and points in between, all Buncombe County Schools will operate on a Remote Learning/Optional Teacher Workday tomorrow, Tuesday Jan. 27, 2026.
Teachers will post assignments in learning management systems by 10 am, or may have sent paper packets home with students. Students will have up to 5 school days to complete assignments, and once they do, students will be counted present for the day/class period. High schools affected by the schedule change will be communicating final exam plans with families.
Lunch will be available to eat in the cafeteria between noon to 1:00 pm at the following locations: Emma Elementary, Leicester Elementary, Candler Elementary. Students are able to eat at no charge at any of the above locations, and parents can purchase a meal for $5.25 if they desire.
Stay safe, and have a good evening!
