Seasons greetings from the Buncombe County Schools family! This is Dr. Tony Baldwin.

As you transition to a well-earned winter break, I want to offer a heart-felt thank you. It has been a year like no other, and believe it or not, we’ve now completed two semesters while carefully navigating this COVID-19 emergency. It has been a challenging time for our whole community. But, it has been the patience and incredible effort of so many of our students, teachers, families, staff, and friends in the health and medical fields, that have gotten us this far. You have made our community stronger and kept our schools safe for learning. Thank you.

Among the many memorable efforts we’ve witnessed this year, our Nutrition team recently delivered the 2 millionth handmade meal since March. We named our new BCS Teacher of the Year and Principal of the Year. And every day, our classroom teachers and assistants worked tirelessly to meet the needs of both in-person and remote students. Our maintenance and transportation staff have kept our school campuses and vehicles clean and disinfected. From our front office staff to our central office employees, thanks to everyone who has remained focused on student wellness and success.

I want to remind our whole community to be safe and look out for one another this holiday season. I invite you to join me in practicing the Three Ws, that is, Wear a mask, Wait at least six feet apart, and Wash your hands frequently. Remembering those simple habits now will go a long way in protecting our neighbors and schools as we return from the break.

Have a safe and restful holiday season! We look forward to seeing you in the new year.
