Dear Transylvania County Schools families and staff, due to the potential of ice, along with continued low temperatures overnight, Transylvania County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, December 9. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution. Thank you for your understanding; stay safe and warm!

Student Art Spotlight 🎨
All of this great artwork was created by 3rd and 4th graders at Brevard Elementary School, and the community is taking notice! While making these pieces, students learned landscape techniques that included creating watercolor sunsets with black silhouettes in the foreground. They studied horizon lines, translucent vs. opaque paint, and how objects appear darker when closer to the viewer. The BES "Autumn Sunset Silhouettes" gallery was proudly displayed in the Transylvania County Schools board room, where many visitors have stopped by to admire the students' work.
Congratulations to these young artists!

As has been reported, the plan to upgrade three BES Playgrounds has been approved by our Board of Ed and County Commissioners. This excellent news for our school community and most importantly, students! Construction is under way-- which means the BES playgrounds are closed until completed.
The work will include replacement of surfacing with Poured In Place Surfacing. A benefit to Poured In Place surfacing will be consistency and increased ADA accessibility. In addition to the playground surface, we are also excited to share that swings will be replaced too! Excellent news for improved safety. #TCSYes
