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

Dear TCS Families,
We would like to send you an update during this trying time, as wildfires have officially entered Transylvania County. Transylvania County School campuses are currently not in evacuation zones; therefore, they will remain open. We are in communication with Transylvania County Emergency Services and will continue to work with them to monitor the situation. As our county has been placed in a code purple, we have suspended all outdoor activities for students and will continue to make adjustments as needed. We understand that many of you have been impacted by these wildfires and we are here for you; please reach out to your child’s school for additional support. A tremendous thank you goes out to our first responders, who have been working tirelessly during the past week, and always, to keep our communities safe. Up-to-date resources can be found at www.transylvaniacounty.org. #TCSTogether
