Scheduling routine health check-ups and routine immunizations took a backseat during the pandemic. Now is the time to get back on track with routine care which includes being up-to-date on the vaccines.
North Carolina's student immunization schedule includes vaccines such as polio and measles, mumps, rubella (MMR). Kindergarten, seventh, and twelfth graders require certain vaccines that can be found here>>> https://immunization.dph.ncdhhs.gov/schools/k-12.htm
Make an appointment with your health care provider to get back on track today. Don’t have a health care provider? Buncombe County Health and Human Services can help. Visit buncombecounty.org/immunize for more information on their walk-in hours and appointment scheduling.
Good Morning, Black Mountain Primary Staff and Families:
We are pleased to announce that Ms. Kelly Owen will be the new principal at Black Mountain Primary (BMP). Ms. Owen is a graduate of Gardner-Webb University, with a BS in Elementary Education and MA in School Administration. Ms. Owen has been an educator for 22 years, serving as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal. She’s previously served as a principal in Hickory City and Rutherford County from July 2010 to 2019. She then moved back home to Black Mountain and most recently taught at BMP.
“Ms. Owen is enthusiastic, welcoming, and will establish positive relationships with students, staff, and families,” said Associate Superintendent Susanne Swanger. “Her recent teaching experience validates the importance of teaching and learning and how that will shape her role as an administrator.”
Ms. Owen’s first day is July 18.
Ms. Malorie McGinnis retired from her BPM principal position in July of 2022.
Happy Fourth of July from Buncombe County Schools! 💥 🇺🇸
