Erwin High Parents- We thank you for being our valued partners in working together to educate your children. Buncombe County Schools has a strong commitment to educating the whole child. This means understanding how each child’s life skills contribute to their success in school and beyond. These skills include such things as problem-solving, emotional management, and relationships with others. Between November 16 - December 1, Buncombe County Schools will implement the Panorama Survey. Students in grades 3 - 13 will complete the survey. The information will be used to plan instruction and identify environmental supports that best meet the needs of students. In addition, results will give schools an overview of what skills need more direct instruction, intervention, or support. Please visit our BCS Panorama site to learn more, view the surveys, and provide consent. If you wish to simply provide consent, you may click here . Contact your school counselor or administrator for more information.
