Hello Estes Families! It's time to set up your new Parent Portal for the 25-26 school year! The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction is transitioning all public schools, including Buncombe County Schools, from PowerSchool to NCSIS powered by Infinite Campus.
You can sign up for your parent portal using your student’s UID number (your student may know it as their “lunch number”) using the link below. After you’ve created your account, it may take a few days for your student’s information to populate.

Hello Estes Families! We are working on our bus routes for the 25/26 school year. We need your help. Please take a moment to complete this transportation survey for each of your children. This will aid our team in organizing the information. If your student is a bus rider, you will have the opportunity to have bus information confirmed through email so that you can skip the line at Meet the Teacher!
