Buncombe County Schools will be closed Monday, Jan. 19, 2026 in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026 is a designated teacher workday. Classes resume Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026.
During School Board Appreciation Month, Woodfin Elementary School wants to say a heartfelt thank you to our school board representatives, Ann Franklin and Kim Plemmons, for their continued support of our school community. Through thoughtful leadership the Buncombe County Schools school board helps guide important decisions that impact student learning, staff support, school safety, and resources across our district. Ms. Franklin and Ms. Plemmons are dedicated to the best interest of our community. Their hard work and commitment have made Buncombe County Schools a district where students and staff can thrive. THANK YOU Ms. Franklin, Ms. Plemmons, and all of BCS School Board for all that you do.
Good morning, BCS Families.
Our BCS Transportation teams have been out early this morning monitoring travel conditions. Due to light snow overnight impacting several secondary roads in part of our area, the Enka District and Erwin District of Buncombe County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for students today, Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026. Buses will not travel on icy roads. This delayed start gives DOT crews extra time to treat any problem areas, and allows for travel with more daylight. Again, this is a two hour delay for the Enka and Erwin districts only, including Nesbitt Discovery Academy. All other BCS schools are on regular schedule
Breakfast will be served to students when they arrive at school. High schools in the Enka and Erwin districts with final exams scheduled for today will communicate their plans with their families.
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. Again, this is a two hour delay for students in the Enka and Erwin districts only. All other BCS schools are on a regular schedule.
Thank you. Have a good day!

We want to extend our sincerest thanks to Nancy Lynn Sharpless for her thoughtful, generous, and incredibly helpful financial, organizational, and physical contributions to Woodfin Elementary!
Because of her kindness, our Wolverines had the opportunity to bring Earthshine Nature Programs to Woodfin Elementary School! Students were able to meet, touch, and learn about animals native to our area. This hands-on experience brought learning to life in the most meaningful way and sparked curiosity, excitement, and joy throughout the day.
It was a fun-filled and memorable learning opportunity for all, and we are so grateful for the time, care, and heart that went into making it happen. Our school is stronger because of partners like this in our community.

Good morning, BCS Families.
Our BCS Transportation teams have been out monitoring travel conditions. Due to a wintry mix that’s fallen across our area since late last night, and freezing temperatures causing the potential for black ice on some secondary roads, Buncombe County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for students today, Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025. Buses will not travel on icy roads. This delayed start will give DOT crews extra time to treat any problem areas, and allow for safer 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 roadways. We will update you should we need to further alter today’s school schedule.
Thank you. Be safe, and have a good day!

The Woodfin Wolverines were excited to welcome guest readers from the Erwin Middle School Beta Club. Several of these middle schoolers were once Wolverines! The younger students enjoyed the stories and got to ask questions about middle school, and the older students got a little taste of what it's like to be a teacher! We always welcome these opportunities to share experiences across the Erwin District schools!
Our Woodfin word of the week is Gratitude! Woodfin Elementary School has so much to be grateful for, and we are so grateful to have Mrs. Keever teaching second grade here! We are so thankful for the energy and care that Mrs. Keever brings to her classroom every day! Mrs. Keever sets herself apart as a hard worker, always here early and staying late to ensure her students get the best each day! She is also a team player who does not hesitate to jump in and help her co-workers no matter the task! Thank you Mrs. Keever!
Woodfin Wolverine Kindergarten and First grade students had an amazing day at the Nature Center. Thank you to all of our staff, volunteers and Parents who supported us.
