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!

Hello Avery’s Creek Families. This is Principal Carrie Lynch. Our hearts are with you and your family as our community works to recover from Hurricane Helene. Even though communication has been difficult this past week, please know we are united as an ACES family and a Buncombe County Schools family. We will come through these challenging times together. We care about our ACES families and we want to know you are safe. We also recognize many of our families are in need of resources. Please use this form to check in with us: https://forms.gle/Do7P3zDCwHsJCgzY9 We are grateful for our community partners and volunteers who are working to make water and other supplies as accessible as possible. We’re also thankful to first responders and crews working to restore water and power so we can reopen school and be together again soon. Please continue to take care of yourself and your family. Thank you, ACES families.

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.

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!

Attention Bus Riders! This week, September 23-27, is Bus Ridership Week! Each year, the state determines transportation funding for school districts by how many students ride the bus to and from school. If your student is assigned to a bus, please be sure they ride this week as much as possible. We appreciate your support in helping secure funding for bus transportation! #RidetheBus #ACES #GoRams
