Transportation & Meals
Bus Transportation
The Academy at Middle Fork works with WS/FCS to arrange bus transportation. Students who live in the Middle Fork residential area (determined by WS/FCS) receive bus transportation to and from home. All other students are provided transportation through community bus stops. This means that you will have to drop your child off and pick your child up at a magnet location for transportation to and from the Academy.
Transportation is also provided to several local after school child care programs and centers. Learn more about bus transportation services and/or contact the Academy at Middle Fork to find out if you are in the Middle Fork residential area and for a listing of after school programs with available transportation.

Safe Return to In-Person Instruction
The Academy at Middle Fork returned to full face-to-face instruction on Aug. 23, 2021.
Appalachian State University continues to make data-driven decisions informed by prevailing national, state, and local public health guidance, ordinances, and restrictions.
Our top priority in all decisions is the health, safety, and well-being of the App State community, which includes the Academy at Middle Fork. As scientific knowledge of the coronavirus continues to evolve, the COVID-19 pandemic changes over time, and government and public health officials issue new orders and guidance, App State will update procedures and plans as needed. The university will follow all state and federal orders, directives of The University of North Carolina System, and will adhere to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local public health in order to ensure the safest possible on-campus environment. The Academy at Middle Fork has returned to in-person instruction for all students.
