Good afternoon Yancey County Schools Families,
As our community continues to recover from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we want to thank everyone for coming together to assist our families and neighbors in their time of greatest need.
The YCS Leadership Team has consulted with state officials concerning the school calendar and the reopening plan for our students. On Monday, November 18, YCS will return to school on a two hour delay through Wednesday, November 20, 2024. On November 21, 22, 25, 26 and December 2 and 3, we will operate on a one hour delay.
Our transportation team and bus drivers have been working on the bus routes and community bus stops. The delay schedules will allow our bus drivers time to adjust to the routes and road construction in our communities.
We invite our students and families to Open House events to talk with teachers and principals about bus routes and share any of your family's needs as we transition back to school. On Tuesday, November 12, Open House will be held at South Toe Elementary School from 3:30-5:30 pm. On Thursday, November 14, Open Houses will be held at all other schools from 2:30-5:30 pm.
Thank you again for your strength and resilience as we all remain Yancey Strong!
