Congratulations to ACRMS Assistant Principal, Ms. Lindsay Rice! She has been chosen as the 2025 North Carolina Elementary (K-8) Assistant Principal of the Year! “Ms. Rice is well deserving of this honor,” said Ms. Wheless, ACRMS Principal, “This award is a testament to her ability to form meaningful relationships with teachers and staff, her knowledge in implementing change, providing structure, support, and high expectations for teachers and students. We are fortunate to have her at Reynolds Middle School.” Ms. Rice will serve as North Carolina’s representative for the NAESP Assistant Principal of the Year program, which recognizes outstanding elementary and middle school assistant principals who have demonstrated success in leadership, curriculum, and personalization. Ms. Rice will travel to Seattle, Washington this summer to represent North Carolina at the NAESP national conference. "Ms. Rice makes us all proud to be ROCKETS!” shared ACRMS Assistant Principal Ms. Chandler, “Ms. Rice is an outstanding educator with a true commitment to excellence. She works hard each day to do what is best for students and staff while also making decisions to move ACRMS forward. I know that she will continue to do great things for this community! It is a privilege to work with Ms. Rice!" #BCS #TogetherWeRise #RPI #RocketsRockIt

Good morning, BCS Families and Teammates. Thank you for your strength and resilience in this time of recovery. As you are able, please check your email for an update on the BCS reopening plan.

ACRMS Families: We continue to think of you as our area recovers. In addition to resources throughout our county, many resources are located along Rocket Drive.

Hot meals available between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you have detergent, shower shoes, towels, and toiletries, please bring them with you when you come. If you don’t, they will be provided for you. Covenant Community Church (next to Reynolds High School) is serving as a distribution site every day from 12-3 pm. Supplies include flood bucket cleaning kits, bottled water, diapers, wipes & formula, deodorant, soap, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, blankets, shelf stable food, dog & cat food, toilet paper & paper towels, paper plates, cups, & plasticware, trash bags & cleaning supplies.

Hello, BCS families and teammates! Visit bit.ly/BCSlinks to see the latest community resources. #GraceAndStrength #TogetherWeRise

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!

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!
