IMPORTANT “TENTATIVE” DATES FOR REOPENING SCHOOLS
Our thoughts and prayers continue for all Avery County citizens as we strive to rebuild after the severe storms and flooding. We are now transitioning from recovery and relief efforts to planning for reopening of our schools. The following “tentative” plans are subject to change based on legislative action or local requirements:
· Wednesday, November 6, 2024. The Avery County School System will reopen for all students. We will be operating on a TWO HOUR DELAY schedule with dismissal at the regular time.
· Road conditions continue to be a concern throughout Avery County. Prior to the students return to school, modified bus routes and pick-up/drop-off locations will be identified and communicated to all students and families as soon as possible. We will run primary roads only.
· Friday, October 25, 2024 – All employees will return to work for optional workdays. Work hours for all employees will be 9:00AM-2:00PM from October 25 through November 1, 2024. November 4-5 will be required workdays for all faculty and staff.
· Our partners at the YMCA are planning to continue after-school care beginning November 6, 2024.
· We will reassess schedules and conditions on a weekly basis.
