North Buncombe Elementary

Monday, 5/25/26 is Memorial Day. There will be no school for students. It is an optional teacher workday.

NBES Reminder: Tuesday, May 19 is NBES Transition Day! In the morning, students will visit a classroom at the next grade level and learn what they have to look forward to! During this time, our fourth grade students will visit the gym to have some social time. In the evening, we will have sessions for our current K-3 parents to hear about the expectations at the next grade level. There are two sessions and you can select which one to attend. One starts at 5:45 and one at 6:30. There will be a presentation and recommendations of things you can do over the summer to help your child prepare for the next grade level. We are happy to offer limited childcare so you can fully tune in to the presentation. Please make plans to join us on Tuesday evening!

Calendar Update: Friday 5/1/26 there will be no school for students. It will be an Optional Teacher Workday.

Good morning, BCS families.

Our Transportation crews have continued to monitor travel conditions this morning. Due to deteriorating travel conditions and the number of secondary roads impacted by snow and ice, for the safety of our bus riders, teen drivers, parents, and staff members, all Buncombe County Schools will now be closed today, Tuesday, March 17, 2026. It will be an Optional Teacher Workday. Students will not participate in remote learning.

Please stay safe, and have a good day.

Buenos días, familias de BCS.

Nuestro personal de transporte ha seguido supervisando las condiciones de la carretera esta mañana. Debido al deterioro de las condiciones de la carretera, al número de carreteras secundarias afectadas por la nieve y el hielo, y a la seguridad de los usuarios del autobús, así como de los conductores adolescentes, los padres y los miembros del personal, todas las escuelas del condado de Buncombe permanecerán cerradas hoy, martes 17 de marzo de 2026. Será un día de trabajo opcional para los maestros. Los estudiantes no participarán en el aprendizaje a distancia.

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

Good morning, BCS Families.

Our BCS Transportation teams have been out early this morning monitoring travel conditions. Due to snowfall through the night impacting travel on secondary roads all across the county, Buncombe County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for students today, Tuesday, March 17, 2026. Buses will not travel on icy roads. This delayed start will give DOT crews extra time to treat any problem areas, and allow for travel with more daylight.

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

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

Thank you. Have a good day!

Buenos días, familias de BCS.

Nuestros equipos de transporte de BCS han salido esta mañana temprano para supervisar las condiciones de las carreteras. Debido a las nevadas que han afectado las carreteras secundarias de todo el condado, las escuelas del condado de Buncombe funcionarán con un retraso de dos horas para los alumnos hoy, martes 17 de marzo de 2026. Los autobuses no viajarán por carreteras heladas. Este retraso en el inicio dará a los equipos del Departamento de Transporte (DOT) tiempo adicional para tratar las zonas problemáticas y permitirá circular con más luz diurna.

Se servirá el desayuno a los alumnos cuando lleguen a la escuela.

Aunque se prevé que las condiciones mejoren, los equipos de transporte de BCS seguirán evaluando la situación. Les mantendremos informados en caso de que sea necesario modificar el horario escolar de hoy.

Gracias. ¡Que tengan un buen día!
