The 6th Grade Band parent meeting(s) that were scheduled for this evening with the Music & Arts representative have been POSTPONED. A new date and time will be communicated once the meetings are able to be rescheduled. Thank you for your understanding and stay safe!

Surry County Schools will be dismissing at 2:00 p.m. today, Monday, August 28, 2023, due to potential flooding. All evening activities are canceled, and after-school childcare will close at 5:00 p.m.

Surry County Schools has worked with the National Weather Service and Surry County Emergency Management Officials to monitor weather conditions throughout the morning. Last night, areas of Surry County received 3-6 inches of rain. As a result, there was localized flooding in northern Surry County this morning.

More rainfall is expected this afternoon, which could create additional flooding issues across many areas of Surry County. Therefore, Surry County Schools will be dismissing at 2:00 p.m. to ensure students return home ahead of additional projected rainfall.

Thank you for your continued support of Surry County Schools, and please use caution as you travel this evening.
