What an incredible night at Rosman Middle School!
Last night's Academic Showcase was a celebration of all the amazing work our Tigers have put in throughout the year. Families and community members got to see displays showcasing student learning from the year, including art, math, science and literacy projects. Eighth grade students did a great job presenting their Democracy Project presentations on the theme "Young Americans: Your Voice Counts, How Do You Participate in Your Democracy?" There was also a special musical performance from students in Mr. McCanless' class.
Dinner was also provided free of charge, courtesy of GearUp NC Appalachian Partnership.
A huge thank you to our dedicated teachers and staff who made the evening possible, and to the parents and families who came out to cheer on their students.
We are so proud of the creativity, critical thinking, and civic passion our Rosman Middle School students continue to demonstrate. These young people are proof that you are never too young to make a difference.
Summer is right around the corner, and Transylvania County Schools Department of School Nutrition will offer free summer meals! All children 18 years and younger are eligible. We will offer three ways to access summer meals. These are outlined on the flyer below. Registration is required for our "Groceries to Go" and Home Delivery programs. Families, please make sure to check your email and phone alerts for the registration link.
Thank you,
Transylvania County Schools
This awesome Tiger mural design was created by students, and RMS teachers helped decide which student design would be displayed on the wall for years to come.
We thank Billy Smith, and Rosman art teachers for continuing to provide students with rich, hands-on learning experiences in the arts.
The day was filled with curiosity, excitement, and meaningful moments as students began to see themselves on a college campus. Experiences like this truly bring postsecondary pathways to life!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible—we are so proud of our TIGER students and excited for what’s ahead!

Due to unexpected snowfall in parts of our county and dangerous travel conditions in several areas, schools will be closed for students on Monday, February 9. Our Transportation team monitored the roads and found more than 40 roads along our bus routes are closed due to icy conditions. Today will be an optional teacher workday. Thank you.
Dear TCS Community,
Due to unexpected snowfall in parts of the county, schools will be on a 2-hour delay this morning, February 9. Buses will not run on icy roads. Thank you for your understanding.
Due to icy road conditions in parts of our county and expected low temperatures overnight, Transylvania County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, February 6. This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution to prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
The delayed start will provide drivers with daylight visibility to safely navigate any remaining slick areas. We believe this is the safest option for our school community.
Important Bus Route Information:
Please be advised that buses will not run on the following roads, or any secondary roads accessed from these roads, due to hazardous icy conditions:
Little River Campground Rd.

IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDER: Please keep your children inside where it's warm until the bus arrives. Drivers will honk their horns and allow extra time for your child to board the bus.
Please continue to follow our social media accounts and visit our website for any updates.
Due to the significant winter weather our area has experienced this week and last week, we are making an adjustment to our school calendar.
State calendar law limits school systems to only 5 remote learning days per school year, and we have now used our allotted remote learning days due to weather-related closures. To ensure that our students receive the required, in-person instructional time, the planned early release days on Friday, February 13 and Friday, May 1 will now be full instructional days with regular dismissal times.
We recognize that calendar changes may require adjustments to family schedules, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these weather-related challenges.
If you have questions regarding this schedule change, please contact your school's main office.
Thank you for your continued support of Transylvania County Schools.
Sincerely,
Transylvania County Schools

Dear TCS community,
Due to the incoming weather expected to begin around 4:00 p.m., we will dismiss school at 12:30 p.m. today, Friday, January 30. This allows all buses to drop off students and gives drivers time to get home safely before inclement weather begins.
DRS will dismiss at 11:30 a.m. due to shared buses.
All students will be given lunch before dismissal.
Thank you and stay warm.
Debido al clima que se espera comience alrededor de las 4:00 p.m., saldremos de la escuela a las 12:30 p.m. hoy, viernes 30 de enero. Esto permite que todos los autobuses dejen a los estudiantes y da tiempo a los conductores para llegar a casa de manera segura antes de que comience el mal tiempo.
DRS saldrá a las 11:30 a.m. debido a los autobuses compartidos.
Todos los estudiantes recibirán almuerzo antes de la salida.
Gracias y manténganse abrigados
