Student Art Spotlight 🎨
All of this great artwork was created by 3rd and 4th graders at Brevard Elementary School, and the community is taking notice! While making these pieces, students learned landscape techniques that included creating watercolor sunsets with black silhouettes in the foreground. They studied horizon lines, translucent vs. opaque paint, and how objects appear darker when closer to the viewer. The BES "Autumn Sunset Silhouettes" gallery was proudly displayed in the Transylvania County Schools board room, where many visitors have stopped by to admire the students' work.
Congratulations to these young artists!

🚌 Bus Ridership Week - Sept. 22–26
Transylvania County Schools families, this week is important for our transportation funding.
We are encouraging students to ride the bus as many days as possible this week, even if they don't usually ride. A large portion of the state funding for our school buses each year is based on how many students ride during this designated week.
Since family transportation needs can change during the year, we want to make sure we have the support we need to serve everyone throughout the year. You can help by choosing the bus this week!
Thank you for supporting the bus!

#BuildingaStongerTomorrowToday!
This morning, students across Transylvania County Schools began the 2025-2026 academic year!
Teachers and staff at all nine schools gathered early to welcome both familiar faces and new students to their school family. The beginning of the school year marks a fresh start filled with new possibilities and renewed energy.
"I always love the first day of school! Today, every child walked in with a smile and a spring in their step. Teachers and principals were beaming from ear to ear. When you see that kind of joy, you know it’s going to be a wonderful day—and an amazing year ahead." - Dr. Lisa Fletcher, Superintendent.
Students, teachers and staff are ready to carry out their mission of “Building a stronger tomorrow…Today!”
