Good morning, BCS Teammates.
With ice and snow continuing to affect travel in multiple BCS districts, Buncombe County Schools will now operate on an asynchronous remote learning day and optional teacher workday today, Tuesday Jan. 7, 2025.
Teachers will post assignments in learning management systems by 10 a.m. Students will have up to 5 school days to complete assignments. Students will be counted present for the day/class period upon completion of assignments.
For BCS staff, 10 & 11 month employees may work or use accrued leave. 12-month staff may work or take leave with supervisor permission. Staff who are able to complete their job functions from home may work remotely with supervisor permission. Clock in/out on Timekeeper may be done remotely. If taking accrued leave, please log your absence into Red Rover.
Instructional Assistants may work from their school building, remotely (with supervisor permission) or take accrued leave.
Bus Drivers/TSAs must take accrued leave.
Due to the nature of custodial work, custodians who choose to work must do so from their school building.
School Nutrition Staff will report to work. Lunch for the day will be available to eat in the cafeteria between 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 Sand Hill-Venable Elementary. Students are able to eat at no charge at any of the above locations, and parents can purchase a meal for $4.75 if they desire. A la carte items are also available for purchase. These schools should make a plan for cafeteria supervision during this time period.
Employees, please use your best judgment when deciding whether you can safely travel to and from work. If you have any concerns about work or leave, please work with your principal or supervisor directly.
Stay safe, and have a good day!
