All BES parents have been notified of the pick up procedure at Shoal Creek Baptist Church. Thank you for your patience as BES staff takes every precaution to ensure students are signed out correctly and safely.

Due to a possible gas leak at Burnsville Elementary School from construction, we are releasing those students early. All other schools will stay in session as normal for the remainder of the day. All students are safe and accounted for and are being taken to Shoal Creek Baptist Church. Please be patient as a system for pickup will take a bit to get into place. We will keep everyone updated as we receive them.

Thank you for your dedication to our students and for making Yancey County Schools an awesome place to be! We appreciate all of you!


Come check out all the beautiful plants our students have grown!
