Transylvania County Schools

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.

Dear Transylvania County Schools Parents and Staff,

Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay on Thursday, February 5. We have made this decision out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our staff and students due to icy road conditions that remain in parts of the county.

More precipitation is expected overnight combined with low temperatures. With five roads along our bus routes still closed and the potential for additional hazardous conditions, we believe a delayed start is the safest option for our school community.

Please continue to monitor for updates and stay safe. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

Please note | Buses will not run on the following roads, and any secondary roads accessed from these roads, due to icy conditions:

Shelton Road

Upper Rich Mtn Rd

Reasonover Road

Island Cove Road

Pisgah Shadows

ALTERNATE PICK-UP LOCATIONS:

If your regular stop is affected, please bring your child to one of these locations or contact your school for information:

Little River Area: Little River Fire Department or Little River Baptist Church

Lake Toxaway Area: Lake Toxaway Fire Department

Balsam Grove Area: Balsam Grove Community Center

Carsons Creek Area: Connestee Fire Department (at Connestee back gate)

IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDER: Please keep your children inside where it's warm until the bus arrives. Drivers will honk their horns and allow extra time for your child to board the bus.

Please continue to follow our social media accounts and visit our website for any updates.

Dear Transylvania County Schools families and staff,
TCS will have a Virtual Learning Day tomorrow, Wednesday, February 4, for all students. All school buildings will be closed to students, and students will participate in learning from home.
Our transportation team has continued to assess road conditions throughout the day. Ice and snow remain on roads in several parts of the county, making travel unsafe for students and staff. 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.

The TCS Instructional Framework team, led by Chief Academic Officer Carrie Norris and District Instructional Coach Heidi Spradlin, is continuing its work to develop a comprehensive framework for teaching and learning to guide educators during the 2026–2027 school year.

Aligned with the TCS Strategic Plan, this framework is designed to ensure high-quality instruction across all classroom settings and to support rigorous expectations for both teachers and students. The Instructional Framework team will present the completed framework at the May Board of Education meeting.

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

Dear Brevard High School Community,

Coach Coleman has announced that he will be resigning from his position as Head Football Coach at Brevard High School in order to pursue a new coaching opportunity. Coach Coleman has been an exceptional leader for our Blue Devils football program, and has guided the team with dedication and a strong commitment to the development of our student athletes on and off the field.

Under Coach Coleman's leadership, the Brevard Blue Devils achieved several successes, including advancing to the state championship in 2025. He has helped to build a program rooted in resilience and teamwork, and has been a positive influence on countless students in our community.

We thank Coach Coleman for his outstanding contributions to the Brevard community, and we are grateful for his years of service. We are wishing him well in all his future pursuits. 

"Obviously we hate to see Coach Coleman leave but we all wish him the best,” said Mark Ellenberger, Director of County Athletics. “He is a great leader and I know first hand how much he loves the kids and how much they love him. He quickly was accepted into this community and will always be part of Blue Devil Football!"

Transylvania County Schools is committed to continuing the strong tradition of Blue Devils football. We are currently in the process of seeking a new head football coach who will build upon the foundation Coach Coleman has established and lead our program to continued success.

Coach Coleman’s message to the Brevard community,

“I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to lead this program, it has been a privilege to work with such an outstanding group of young men, coaches and community. Coaching at Brevard has been an honor, and I will always value the relationships built and the lessons learned throughout this journey. I am incredibly proud of our players and the character, commitment, and resilience they showed each day. This has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my time here at Brevard.

I also extend my sincere appreciation to the families, supporters, alumni and administration who have stood behind our program since Day One. Your encouragement, presence and belief in these young men made a lasting impact.

Brevard will always hold a special place in my heart. I am thankful for the relationships built and the lessons learned. I wish the students and the entire Brevard community continued success. My hope is that the foundation we built together continues to serve the team well in the years ahead.

Thank you again for the privilege of serving as Head Football Coach at Brevard.”
