At our March All-School Meeting, the theme was Celebrations! Students were recognized for achieving perfect attendance, modeling the Graduate Outcomes, and participating in the yearbook photo contest. We are so proud of our Trailblazers, the dedicated group of students who planned and facilitated the event.

Our BCS Transportation teams have been out again early this morning monitoring travel conditions. Due to additional light snowfall overnight and continuing weather impacts to some secondary roads across the county, all Buncombe County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for students today, Tuesday Feb. 24, 2026…except for the North Buncombe District only, which will be closed, due to more severe weather impacts in the Weaverville and Barnardsville areas.

Breakfast in the districts going to school on a two hour delay will be served to students when they arrive at school.

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

Nuestros equipos de transporte de BCS han salido de nuevo esta mañana temprano para supervisar las condiciones del tráfico. Debido a las ligeras nevadas adicionales durante la noche y a los continuos efectos del mal tiempo en algunas carreteras secundarias del condado, todas las escuelas del condado de Buncombe funcionarán hoy, martes 24 de febrero de 2026, con un retraso de dos horas para los alumnos, excepto el distrito de North Buncombe, que permanecerá cerrado debido a los efectos más graves del mal tiempo en las zonas de Weaverville y Barnardsville.

El desayuno en los distritos en los que acuden a la escuela con un retraso de dos horas se servirá a los alumnos cuando lleguen a la escuela.

Aunque hoy se espera que las condiciones mejoren con temperaturas más cálidas, los equipos de transporte de BCS seguirán evaluándolas. Les mantendremos informados si necesitamos modificar aún más el horario escolar de hoy.

Una vez más, todas las escuelas del condado de Buncombe funcionarán con un retraso de dos horas para los alumnos hoy, martes 24 de febrero de 2026, excepto el distrito de North Buncombe, que permanecerá cerrado.

Good morning, BCS families.

Due to overnight snowfall impacting travel all across the county and temperatures expected to stay well below freezing throughout the day, for the safety of our bus riders, teen drivers, parents, and staff members, all Buncombe County Schools will be closed today, Monday, Feb. 23, 2026.

As we have shared, state calendar law limits the school system to only 5 remote learning days per school year. We have used all of those days. Therefore, today is not a remote learning day for students. It will be an Optional Teacher Workday.

Please stay safe, and have a good day.

Buenos días, familias de BCS.

Debido a las nevadas nocturnas que han afectado al tráfico en todo el condado y a que se espera que las temperaturas se mantengan muy por debajo de cero durante todo el día, por la seguridad de los usuarios del autobús, los conductores adolescentes, los padres y los miembros del personal, todas las escuelas del condado de Buncombe permanecerán cerradas hoy, lunes 23 de febrero de 2026.

Como ya hemos comunicado, la ley estatal sobre el calendario escolar limita el sistema educativo a solo 5 días de aprendizaje a distancia por año escolar. Hemos utilizado todos esos días. Por lo tanto, hoy no es un día de aprendizaje a distancia para los alumnos. Será un día de trabajo opcional para los profesores.

Por favor, manténganse a salvo y que tengan un buen día.

As the trailblazer team we have been planning events for our student body and have received mixed results on attendance and engagement. Therefore, this year we decided to get our ideas straight from the source! If an event does not have the input from our student body then we will plan something on its behalf. As we want all our school wide events to be fun for all to enjoy! We ask you to take time to share your input, your voice is important to our Trailblazer Student team as we plan for the spring semester at BCEC and BCCI.

Our BCS Transportation crews have been out surveying roads early this morning. Due to light winter precipitation again last night, Buncombe County Schools will operate on a 2-hour for students today, Thursday Feb. 5, 2026. Buses will not travel on icy roads. This delayed start will give DOT crews time to work, and allow for travel with more daylight.

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

BCS Transportation teams are continuing to assess conditions, and we will update you should we need to further alter today’s school schedule.

Be safe, and have a good day.
