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.
Attention Woodfin Parent Community! Mark your calendars for February 10, 8 AM to 9 AM and join us at Woodfin Elementary School to make valentines for our Woodfin students! All supplies will be provided, just bring your creativity! This is a wonderful opportunity to craft and connect with other members of the Woodfin Elementary School community!
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!

Caroline goes above and beyond every single day—checking in on others, jumping in to help without hesitation, and supporting our staff both professionally and personally. Her kindness, humor, and leadership make Woodfin a better place for everyone. We’re so grateful you’re a Wolverine, Caroline!
Buncombe County Schools will be closed Monday, Jan. 19, 2026 in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026 is a designated teacher workday. Classes resume Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026.
Our BCS Transportation teams have been out early this morning monitoring travel conditions. Due to light snow overnight impacting several secondary roads in part of our area, the Enka District and Erwin District of Buncombe County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for students today, Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026. Buses will not travel on icy roads. This delayed start gives DOT crews extra time to treat any problem areas, and allows for travel with more daylight. Again, this is a two hour delay for the Enka and Erwin districts only, including Nesbitt Discovery Academy. All other BCS schools are on regular schedule
Breakfast will be served to students when they arrive at school. High schools in the Enka and Erwin districts with final exams scheduled for today will communicate their plans with their families.
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. Again, this is a two hour delay for students in the Enka and Erwin districts only. All other BCS schools are on a regular schedule.
Thank you. Have a good day!
Because of her kindness, our Wolverines had the opportunity to bring Earthshine Nature Programs to Woodfin Elementary School! Students were able to meet, touch, and learn about animals native to our area. This hands-on experience brought learning to life in the most meaningful way and sparked curiosity, excitement, and joy throughout the day.
It was a fun-filled and memorable learning opportunity for all, and we are so grateful for the time, care, and heart that went into making it happen. Our school is stronger because of partners like this in our community.
