The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. As we continue to work together to navigate this unprecedented time in our community and world, know that our schools continue to monitor the coronavirus situation while proactively cooperating with Buncombe County Health and Human Services, the North Carolina Division of Public Health, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the CDC recommends the following as of Aug. 2021:

  • Get vaccinated

  • Wear a mask

  • Stay 6 feet away from others

  • Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces

  • Wash your hands often

  • Cover coughs and sneezes

  • Clean and disinfect high touch surfaces

  • Monitor your health daily
