Due to unexpected snowfall in parts of our county and dangerous travel conditions in several areas, schools will be closed for students on Monday, February 9.

Dear TCS Community,
Due to unexpected snowfall in parts of the county, schools will be on a 2-hour delay this morning, February 9. Buses will not run on icy roads. Thank you for your understanding.
Due to icy road conditions in parts of our county and expected low temperatures overnight, Transylvania County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, February 6. This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution to prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
The delayed start will provide drivers with daylight visibility to safely navigate any remaining slick areas. We believe this is the safest option for our school community.

Due to the significant winter weather our area has experienced this week and last week, we are making an adjustment to our school calendar.
State calendar law limits school systems to only 5 remote learning days per school year, and we have now used our allotted remote learning days due to weather-related closures. To ensure that our students receive the required, in-person instructional time, the planned early release days on Friday, February 13 and Friday, May 1 will now be full instructional days with regular dismissal times.
We recognize that calendar changes may require adjustments to family schedules, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these weather-related challenges.
If you have questions regarding this schedule change, please contact your school's main office.
Thank you for your continued support of Transylvania County Schools.
Sincerely,
Transylvania County Schools

After checking the roads, our transportation team has determined more than 25 roads on our bus routes to be dangerous for travel.
Thank you for your understanding, and for your help in keeping our school community safe during these winter weather conditions. Please stay safe and warm.

Dear TCS community,
Due to the incoming weather expected to begin around 4:00 p.m., we will dismiss school at 12:30 p.m. today, Friday, January 30. This allows all buses to drop off students and gives drivers time to get home safely before inclement weather begins.
DRS will dismiss at 11:30 a.m. due to shared buses.
All students will be given lunch before dismissal.
Thank you and stay warm.
Debido al clima que se espera comience alrededor de las 4:00 p.m., saldremos de la escuela a las 12:30 p.m. hoy, viernes 30 de enero. Esto permite que todos los autobuses dejen a los estudiantes y da tiempo a los conductores para llegar a casa de manera segura antes de que comience el mal tiempo.
DRS saldrá a las 11:30 a.m. debido a los autobuses compartidos.
Todos los estudiantes recibirán almuerzo antes de la salida.
Gracias y manténganse abrigados
