Please make note of these recent updates and reminders from Transylvania County Schools:
Temporary Grading Policy for Grades 9-11
On April 23, the State Board of Education approved a temporary grading policy for high-schoolers who are not graduating in 2020. To help answer questions we have received, curriculum director Missy Ellenberger

Spanish version). If you wish to make a request that is different from the default choice, please contact your school.

May 1 is School Lunch Hero Day
There are many ways to show appreciation for our "Lunch Ladies," who are true heroes preparing up to 1,800 meals per day for children across Transylvania County. You could write a hand-made letter or card, or make a poster and take a picture when picking up meals this week. Or take a photo of your favorite meal, and let us know why you like it. Every thank-you makes a huge difference for the person receiving it, and the person expressing it. We hope you will participate in
#SchoolLunchHero Day this Friday!
May 4-8 is Teacher Appreciation Week
All next week, we will celebrate our teachers—dedicated professionals who care about every child and have put every effort into making this the best school possible, every single day. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and gratitude! One way is to add your note to encourage our teachers at
flipgrid.com/thankyoutcs. We are excited to share messages from our teachers when we publish their Flipgrid for you on Thursday morning!
