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.

Flat Rock Elementary School will be dismissing today, Monday, August 28, 2023, at 11:30 a.m. due to power outage. All students will be sent home with bagged lunches. This outage is currently affecting over 1,233 Duke Energy customers and a crew has been assigned to restore power. The estimated time of restoration is 5:00 p.m.
At Surry County Schools, safety is our top priority. Given the unknowns of the situation as well as the potential flexibility of the estimated time of restoration, we feel it is in the best interest of families for Flat Rock Elementary to dismiss early. Surry County Emergency Services has informed the district that Pine Street will be open shortly after being closed temporarily this morning due to flooding.
At this time, Flat Rock Elementary School is the only school impacted, all other schools are on normal schedule today. The district is continuing to closely monitor weather conditions due to reports of heavy rain and flooding in areas of Surry County. The district is working with Surry County Emergency Management Officials to monitor conditions throughout the day.
