Hello Parents,
We are asking for your assistance in keeping our schools safe. As you know, our schools are usually bustling with activity such as visitors dropping by for various reasons. As a reminder, here are our guidelines when multiple people are arriving at the same time.
If you have buzzed in and are being screened and you notice another visitor is arriving, please don’t hold the door and allow anyone in without being screened first.
If the other visitor is 15 feet or less from the door, please buzz in and be screened together. If the visitor is more than 15 feet from the door, please buzz in and ensure the door is closed completely after you enter.
We certainly want to encourage politeness and our visitors understand that it is unsafe to hold doors and allow visitors in without being verified by front office staff first. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Procedimiento de Entrada de Visitantes Múltiples
Hola Familias y Visitantes,
Estamos pidiendo su ayuda para mantener seguras nuestras escuelas. Como saben, nuestras escuelas generalmente están repletas de actividades, como visitas que llegan por varias razones. Como recordatorio, estas son nuestras pautas cuando llegan varias personas al mismo tiempo.
Si ha llamado y la oficina le está verificando y Ud. nota que llega otro visitante, no sostenga la puerta y permita que nadie entre sin verificación primero.
Si el otro visitante está a 15 pies o menos de la puerta, llame y pasen juntos por la pantalla. Si el visitante está a más de 15 pies de la puerta, llame y asegúrese de que la puerta esté completamente cerrada después de entrar.
Sin duda, queremos fomentar la cortesía pero sabemos que nuestros visitantes entiendan que no es seguro sujetar las puertas y permitir que los visitantes entren sin que el personal de la recepción los verifique primero. Gracias por su comprensión y cooperación.
Picture day is Monday, September 12! Don't forget to pay online to Strawbridge or include cash/check with the order form.

Attention, Parents: If you have already moved or have plans to move this summer and will switch schools, please plan on enrolling your child in their new school as soon as possible! This includes those remaining in Buncombe County Schools and those leaving the area. Our schools have begun sending out important information for the new school year, and if you aren’t enrolled in the correct school, you’ll miss these messages.

Scheduling routine health check-ups and routine immunizations took a backseat during the pandemic. Now is the time to get back on track with routine care which includes being up-to-date on the vaccines.
North Carolina's student immunization schedule includes vaccines such as polio and measles, mumps, rubella (MMR). Kindergarten, seventh, and twelfth graders require certain vaccines that can be found here>>> https://immunization.dph.ncdhhs.gov/schools/k-12.htm
Make an appointment with your health care provider to get back on track today. Don’t have a health care provider? Buncombe County Health and Human Services can help. Visit buncombecounty.org/immunize for more information on their walk-in hours and appointment scheduling.

#BCS students finished their year with exciting #FieldDay experiences! Check out these fun photos from around the district.
North Windy Ridge Intermediate (NWRI) students took a trip to Biltmore Estate to enjoy the scenery and learn about local history. The students had a busy day touring the large facilities, the farm and the home, and learning about horticulture, architecture, and local history. They got to learn about horse drawn carriages, metalworking, looms and weaving, and see the estate and a variety of farm animals.
“It’s history in our backyard,” said NWRI Principal Brent Wise. “Every student should see it at some point in their lives. It’s all about making connections with our local history.”
The school’s first trip to Biltmore, the NWRI PTO raised the funds for this trip that the students won’t soon forget.
