#SCSUpdates | Surry County Schools will operate on a regular schedule tomorrow, Friday, January 17, with limited bus routes. We have seen great improvement in road conditions across Surry County. However, some bus turnarounds continue to be inaccessible due to snow removal piles. This means buses will not travel on dirt roads, dead-end roadways, or cul-de-sacs. Families who live on these roadways, please reference our limited bus routes list on our website to locate your child’s corner stop.
Based on the improved road conditions, there will be no community stops tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to keep students safe. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
‼️ IMPORTANT Message from Mrs. Hazelwood regarding the 2-hour delay, TOMORROW, January 16th ‼️
Good evening, Dobson parents! This is Mrs. Hazelwood calling with important transportation information. Tomorrow, Surry County Schools will operate on a 2 hour delay with limited bus routes. Community stops have been set up across the school district to assist with road closures. At this time, none of the roads in Dobson School district are impacted by community stops. If you live on a dirt or dead end road, please be at the end of that road ready for the bus. Our buses will not be traveling on dirt or dead end roads. Our doors will be open at 9:35 ready to greet our tigers. If you choose to drive your child directly to and from school, please use caution and allow extra travel time, as some secondary roads may still have icy spots.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to keep all of our students safe. We appreciate your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing your children tomorrow. Have a great evening!
