North Buncombe Elementary

Please consider using these optional activities to connect and engage students with learning while we are away from school. Activities are organized by grade level span and by content or skill focus. These learning activities will not be graded and are intended to provide students with flexible and broad options for reading, writing, and thinking. We will continue to add activities to this landing page until schools are able to reopen. https://docs.google.com/document/d/148x1ZpEdRs8z9Wef40WJ1y3K1-FQ6qvdgXBLutwNdho/edit

Hello, BCS families and teammates! Visit bit.ly/BCSlinks to see the latest community resources. #GraceAndStrength #TogetherWeRise

BCS families and teammates, thank you for all of your efforts at home and in the community to recover from the devastation of the hurricane. Our hearts continue to be with you. We want to let you know Buncombe County Schools will remain closed until it is safe to open. That will require power and water restored to our buildings. We are grateful to the repair crews who are working hard to make that happen. However, there is substantial work to be done. To help families plan, we will give you adequate notice when we know a date when it is safe for Buncombe County Schools to reopen. Please continue to take care of yourself and your family. Our theme for this year is “Together We Rise” - and recovering for this storm will demonstrate that. Thank you so much!

We know that communication is difficult right now, but we would like to ask that NBES families complete this Google Form to help us account for our students. https://forms.gle/HFRCm2tvmZb4KUDs9 We know that many of our families are in great need of resources and we are grateful for our community partners and volunteers who are working to make these supplies as accessible as possible. We are also thankful to the crews working to restore water and power to our area so we can reopen school and be together again soon. Until then, we hold your families in our hearts and we send hugs to your kiddos who we miss dearly.

Based on the Hurricane's tremendous impacts to our families and neighborhoods, the decision has been made to close all Buncombe County Schools for the entire week, Monday Sept. 30 through Friday Oct. 4. These will be annual leave days for staff. In the days, weeks, and months ahead, the school system is committed to continue supporting our families and staff. We hope you and your family continue to be safe. We'll continue to keep you updated as our team works to safely reopen our schools. Thank you.

Buncombe County Schools are closed on Monday, September 30 and Tuesday, October 1st. Stay safe, Blackhawks!

As our area continues to cope with impacts of Hurricane Helene, Buncombe County Schools will be closed Mon 9/30 and Tue 10/1. Both days are annual leave days. As our school system continues working with local emergency management officials, we will keep you updated about schedules for the coming days. Please stay safe!

Due to the chance of hazardous road conditions tomorrow night, our Open House and Title 1 Curriculum Night will be rescheduled to October 10th. We will share more information and reminders at a later date. Thank you for understanding. Stay Safe!

School consolidation study surveys are open through Sept. 30. Scroll down to "NEWS" for more info.
