Upcoming Bus Driver Training
Good evening, this is Mr. Byland with some updates for the week from East Yancey.
This week we head into testing. On Tuesday, students will take their math test. On Wednesday, they will take their ELA test. On Thursday, 8th grade students will take their science EOG and 6th and 7th graders will take their teacher made exams. On Friday, all students will take the teacher made social studies exams. For both teacher made exams only, students can be exempt if they have missed fewer than six days this year.
Our 8th grade dance will be this Friday at the Town Center from 6-9pm. Tickets are $5. We will begin selling tickets on Monday after testing. There will be pictures available for any student that is interested on the square at 5pm. Any parent that would be interested in helping decorate, can show up at the Town Center anytime from 10am on Friday. No parents are allowed to attend the dance.
Thanks, and as always, GO PANTHERS!

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.
