Transylvania County Schools

Class of 2021 Graduation Ceremonies | Congratulations to the graduating seniors in the Class of 2021! See the schedule and rain date information for live, in-person ceremonies and live streaming for those who will view remotely.

In light of recent updates to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), Transylvania Public Health has updated their COVID-19 protocols for determining close contacts and quarantine procedures. A new graphic is presented here, with links to those updated documents from public health authorities.

Transylvania County Schools is officially launching the “Say Something” Anonymous Reporting System (SS-ARS) for students, which most North Carolina public school districts will be adopting this year to meet the reporting guidelines and standards developed by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction and the Center for Safer Schools. Say Something is a youth violence prevention program from the national nonprofit organization Sandy Hook Promise (SHP), which has funding to provide the program and training at no cost to the district. The SS-ARS allows youth and adults to securely submit anonymous safety concerns – anytime, from anywhere – to help identify and intervene upon at-risk individuals before they hurt themselves or others. The system enables school administrators and law enforcement to create effective interventions and to help prevent violence, suicide, bullying, self-harm and other forms of threatening behavior.

Congratulations on reaching the end of the first nine weeks! Looking ahead, remember that our elementary schools move to Plan A starting October 21. To help make this transition as smooth as possible, we are sending out the COVID-19 Notification Protocol being used by Transylvania County Schools, our school nurses, and Transylvania Public Health.
