Friday, Woodfin Elementary School had the honor of welcoming back our former wolverines that are now graduating from Erwin High School! Witnessing these seniors walk the halls of their elementary school and return to the place where so many of their learning journeys began was a special moment for all!
The seniors loved revisiting their elementary school campus, reconnecting with former teachers, and remembering the memories they made at Woodfin years ago.
Seeing these graduates walk the halls in their caps and gowns also meant so much to our current Woodfin wolverines. Friday's senior walk was inspiring and exciting for everyone ; a powerful reminder that with hard work and determination, you can achieve your goals!
We are so proud of these Erwin High graduates and wish them all the best in the exciting journey ahead!

During National Police Week, Woodfin Elementary School wants to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the incredible police officers who serve and protect our community each and every day; especially our amazing Woodfin Police Department!

The care, dedication, and support that the Woodfin Police Department show to our students mean more than words can express. From helping keep our campus safe, to building positive relationships with students, to stepping in with kindness, encouragement, and guidance when needed they make a lasting impact on our school family every single day.

Our students look up to the Woodfin Police officers as helpers, protectors, mentors, and role models. We would be remiss not to give an extra special thank you to Officer Holden, our Woodfin Elementary School SRO! Whether she is greeting students in the morning, supporting during school events, helping teach safety lessons, or simply taking the time to connect with children, her presence brings comfort and care to our school.

To all of the officers at the Woodfin Police Department, thank you for the sacrifices you make and the countless ways you support our students, staff, and whole community. Woodfin Elementary School is deeply grateful for you ; and especially thankful for the positive difference Officer Holden makes every day.

During this season of celebration and appreciation, our Wolverine Family is filled with gratitude for the incredible staff members who make our school such a special place each and every day. From our dedicated teachers who inspire, encourage, and support students in countless ways, to our cafeteria superheroes who ensure every child is cared for and nourished, to our compassionate school nurse who goes above and beyond to support the health and well-being of students and families — we are truly blessed to have such an amazing team.
We are also incredibly thankful for our custodial staff, whose hard work behind the scenes keeps our school clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone. Welcome back Mr.Randy and a special thank you to Mrs. Natalia over the last few months for going above and beyond to keep everything exceptional. Their dedication and care for our building help create an environment where students and staff can thrive each day.
Each staff member plays an important role in creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where students can learn and grow. Their kindness, commitment, and daily acts of service do not go unnoticed. We are deeply thankful for the heart, passion, and care they bring to our Wolverine community every single day.

Friday May, 1 was National Principal's Day! Woodfin Elementary School is so lucky to have Principal Wheeler as our leader! Principal Wheeler works endlessly to ensure that the students and staff of Woodfin Elementary have all of their needs met. It is not unusual to see Mrs. Wheeler mopping the hall, handing out breakfast, or riding the bus in the afternoon! There is truly nothing that Mrs. Wheeler will not do for the Woodfin Elementary School community! There are not enough words to express the deep gratitude felt by all of the students and staff of Woodfin Elementary to have THE BEST PRINCIPAL EVER! Thank you for always leading with kindness. Thank you for always leading by example. Thank you for everything!

What a way to end National School Librarian Week with the Woodfin 5K. Mrs.Ayers has been an integral part of the 5K Foundation Team. Mrs. Ayers is definitely a leader in all she does. She led the charge of our parking team and in the words of our race director, “she did it like a boss.”
Mrs. Ayers is highly collaborative, working seamlessly with teachers, administration, and support staff to enhance instruction and integrate resources that meet diverse student needs. Her willingness to partner with others ensures that the media center is not just a space, but a dynamic hub for learning and creativity.
She leads and manages the student news program, providing students with meaningful, real-world opportunities to build communication, technology, and leadership skills. Through this work, she empowers students to take ownership of their learning while amplifying student voice across the school community.
Most importantly, she is deeply committed to supporting both students and staff. She builds strong relationships, creates a welcoming and inclusive environment, and consistently goes above and beyond to meet the needs of others. Whether guiding a student in research, helping a teacher plan an engaging lesson, or solving a technical challenge, she approaches every task with professionalism and care.
Her impact is felt school-wide, and her dedication, leadership, and passion make her outstanding!! Thank you Mrs. Ayers.

Good morning, BCS families.

Our Transportation crews have continued to monitor travel conditions this morning. Due to deteriorating travel conditions and the number of secondary roads impacted by snow and ice, for the safety of our bus riders, teen drivers, parents, and staff members, all Buncombe County Schools will now be closed today, Tuesday, March 17, 2026. It will be an Optional Teacher Workday. Students will not participate in remote learning.

Please stay safe, and have a good day.


Buenos días, familias de BCS.

Nuestro personal de transporte ha seguido supervisando las condiciones de la carretera esta mañana.

Será un día de trabajo opcional para los maestros. Los estudiantes no participarán en el aprendizaje a distancia.

Good morning, BCS Families.

Our BCS Transportation teams have been out early this morning monitoring travel conditions. Due to snowfall through the night impacting travel on secondary roads all across the county, Buncombe County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for students today, Tuesday, March 17, 2026. Buses will not travel on icy roads. This delayed start will give DOT crews extra time to treat any problem areas, and allow for travel with more daylight.

Breakfast will be served to students when they arrive at school.

While conditions are forecast to improve, BCS Transportation teams will continue to assess conditions. We will update you should we need to further alter today’s school schedule.

Thank you. Have a good day!


Buenos días, familias de BCS.

Nuestros equipos de transporte de BCS han salido esta mañana temprano para supervisar las condiciones de las carreteras. Debido a las nevadas que han afectado las carreteras secundarias de todo el condado, las escuelas del condado de Buncombe funcionarán con un retraso de dos horas para los alumnos hoy, martes 17 de marzo de 2026. Los autobuses no viajarán por carreteras heladas. Este retraso en el inicio dará a los equipos del Departamento de Transporte (DOT) tiempo adicional para tratar las zonas problemáticas y permitirá circular con más luz diurna.

Se servirá el desayuno a los alumnos cuando lleguen a la escuela.

Aunque se prevé que las condiciones mejoren, los equipos de transporte de BCS seguirán evaluando la situación. Les mantendremos informados en caso de que sea necesario modificar el horario escolar de hoy.

Gracias. ¡Que tengan un buen día!
