Madeleine Pomeroy, one of our OHS juniors, has been accepted into the prestigious North Carolina Senate Page Program — a competitive, hands-on experience where students work directly on the Senate Chamber floor.
She's one of just two students selected this session and will be mentored by Senator Julie Mayfield. Over four days, Madeleine will gain firsthand insight into the legislative process and leadership in action.
An incredible opportunity and a huge accomplishment — her future is bright! 👏
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!
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.
Please stay safe, and have a good day.
