Hello, BCS families and teammates! Visit bit.ly/BCSlinks to see the latest community resources. #GraceAndStrength #TogetherWeRise
BCS families and teammates, thank you for all of your efforts at home and in the community to recover from the devastation of the hurricane. Our hearts continue to be with you.
We want to let you know Buncombe County Schools will remain closed until it is safe to open. That will require power and water restored to our buildings. We are grateful to the repair crews who are working hard to make that happen. However, there is substantial work to be done. To help families plan, we will give you adequate notice when we know a date when it is safe for Buncombe County Schools to reopen.
Please continue to take care of yourself and your family. Our theme for this year is “Together We Rise” - and recovering for this storm will demonstrate that. Thank you so much!
Based on the Hurricane's tremendous impacts to our families and neighborhoods, the decision has been made to close all Buncombe County Schools for the entire week, Monday Sept. 30 through Friday Oct. 4. These will be annual leave days for staff. In the days, weeks, and months ahead, the school system is committed to continue supporting our families and staff. We hope you and your family continue to be safe. We'll continue to keep you updated as our team works to safely reopen our schools. Thank you.
As our area continues to cope with impacts of Hurricane Helene, Buncombe County Schools will be closed Mon 9/30 and Tue 10/1. Both days are annual leave days. As our school system continues working with local emergency management officials, we will keep you updated about schedules for the coming days. Please stay safe!

Thank you to the students, families, and staff that came out to the Icy Pops with the Principal yesterday at Ledgewood Community Center, Linwood Crump Shiloh Community Center, and/or Oakley Elementary School. We loved seeing everyone together!
Go ahead and mark your calendar for the Meet the Teacher drop-in event on Friday, August 23. We will get started at the Jerry Plemmons Gymnasium at Oakley, so follow the signs to that entrance. As it is a drop-in event, you do not have to arrive at 8:00 AM. Parking will be tight, so please consider carpooling or walking if you live nearby. We cannot wait to see you!
Principal Landreth is excited to meet Oakley students and their families. Come enjoy an Icy Pop and introduce yourself! Here is the schedule:
Monday, August 5 1-2:30 Ledgewood Community Center
Monday, August 5 3-4:30 Linwood Crump Shiloh Community Center
Monday, August 5 5-6:30 Oakley Elementary School Front Lawn
If you have a student who will be starting in Kindergarten at Oakley Elementary School this fall, please consider signing them up for Kinder Camp, which will take place on August 12 from 9-12. A bus to select community stops will be running. Please call 828-274-7515 to register and let us know if transportation is needed. A parent/guardian must be at the bus stop at drop-off and pick-up.
Happy Summer, Oakley families!
Tomorrow is the last day of school. It is an early release day, so school will dismiss at 12:30 pm, and all buses will arrive home two hours earlier than normal.
Your child should have received their report card and EOG scores (for grades 3-5) on Friday. If your child did not pass the EOG and would like to retake it on Tuesday, please be sure to return the retake letter to school tomorrow.
If you still have medication at Oakley this year, please sign it out from the front office. Any medications left at Oakley after Thursday 6/20 are required to be discarded. This includes epi pens and inhalers.
Mark your calendars for Meet the Teacher on Friday, August 23rd from 8-10am and the first day of school on Monday, August 26th. For our fifth graders moving on to Reynolds Middle, there will be an orientation on Tuesday, August 6th. School supply lists will be available soon on our school website.
Thanks for your support this school year, and best wishes for a restful and fun summer!
¡Feliz verano, familias de Oakley!
Mañana es el último día de clases. Es un día de salida temprana, por lo que la escuela terminará a las 12:30 pm y todos los buses llegarán a casa dos horas antes de lo normal.
Su hijo debería haber recibido su boletín de calificaciones y los resultados de los examenes del fin del grado (para los grados 3 a 5) el viernes. Si su hijo no aprobó un examen y desea volver a tomarlo el martes, asegúrese de devolver la carta a la escuela mañana.
Si todavía tiene medicamentos en Oakley de este año,venga a la oficina escolar para recogerlos. Cualquier medicamento que se deje en Oakley después del jueves 20 de junio debe desecharse. Esto incluye epipens e inhaladores.
Marque sus calendarios para Conocer Al Maestro el viernes 23 de agosto de 8 a 10 am y el primer día de clases el lunes 26 de agosto. Para nuestros estudiantes de quinto grado que pasan a Reynolds Middle, habrá una orientación el martes 6 de agosto. Las listas de útiles escolares estarán disponibles pronto en el sitio web de nuestra escuela.
¡Gracias por su apoyo este año escolar y mis mejores deseos para un verano tranquilo y divertido!
