December 2024
The final month of 2024...
In just a short few weeks, the year 2024 will be over. It has certainly been a strange last few months to the calendar year and it has reminded me that each day is special. As we enter this final month of the year, I hope you are able to slow down enough to enjoy the small and simple moments with family and those you love. As we wrap up 2024, I am excited to see what 2025 brings! I know it will bring a lot of learning and fun at North Buncombe Elementary School!
Thank you for all you do to support North Buncombe Elementary School! We are proud that our students are growing, learning and succeeding here at NBES!
Working Together,
Mrs. Heidi Allison
NBES Early Check-Out Procedure Reminders
Please review these procedures from the NBES Student Handbook
EARLY PICK-UP OF STUDENTS
When it is necessary for a student to be picked up before regular dismissal time (2:25), a note should be sent to the classroom teacher. The person who takes the student must sign him/her out on the computer in the office and be on the student’s pick-up list. A picture ID is required. If a student leaves before 11:30 AM he/she will be counted absent for the entire day. Students being picked up early should be signed out between 1:30 PM and 2:00 PM; otherwise, all students will be dismissed through our regular procedures with buses loading at 2:25 PM and car riders being dismissed at 2:30 PM. Early sign-outs interrupt classroom instruction and students miss valuable instruction time. No student may leave school grounds without permission from the Principal or Assistant Principal.
Please note that we can NOT check out students between 2:00 PM and 2:25 PM!
This is due to student & school safety. Thank you for understanding!
NBES Dual Language Applications will be accepted soon!
Please join us for our Winter Spirit Week!

NBES Loves Volunteers!
NBES welcomes volunteers! There are many ways for individuals to volunteer at our school. All volunteers must fill out an online volunteer application and be on the approved volunteer list before volunteering.
Level 1 Volunteers - General volunteer - never supervising students
Level 2 Volunteers - Volunteer who supervises/gives directions to students or serves in a leadership role (such as PTO board). This level is required for any parent attending a field trip. This level requires a background check (conducted by Buncombe County Schools).
Parents may get a link to complete a volunteer application by calling the main office at (828) 645-6054 and Mrs. Honeycutt can help you with this process.
