Mr. King taught a lesson to Mrs. Coe's class about following rules. They practiced doing so by playing "Simon Says"!
Just a reminder that our very first ROAR celebration will be tomorrow, and it is Water Day! This will be for students who have shown ROAR leadership during this first month of school. Please be sure that your child wears sunscreen and brings both a towel and a change of clothes! 💦🤿☀️
We are also still in need of volunteers for some of the water stations. Please contact the school or your child's teacher if you are interested in helping with this fun celebration!
From visits with Officer Levesque, to pushing Mr. Jason on the swing at recess, and even sitting in Coach Smith's chair during specials time, Mrs. Coe's class sure knows how to keep things exciting! We love seeing our tigers' smiling faces! 😊 #ThriveSCS
Pre-k had a blast today with their scarf dancing activity! 🧣🎶

Pre-k students enjoyed some time outside learning with friends yesterday afternoon! 🌿🌳
Our SRO, Officer Levesque, has been visiting classrooms to discuss important safety topics with students. This was very helpful for our tigers to not only become more knowledgeable of and practice safety skills, but also to FEEL safe! Thank you, Officer Levesque! #ThriveSCS
We are super proud of our school nutrition team and their perfect sanitation score of 100! Thank you, ladies, for everything you do! #ThriveSCS 🍎🥦🥛
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.

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.

This year’s theme, Thrive, was the emphasis of the program. Employees were invited to Pilot Mountain Middle School where they got to mingle with local community and business partners, along with a program featuring remarks from dynamic leaders in the district. Door prizes collected from local businesses were given away to lucky employees!
