The month of April is Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. This year, Surry
County Schools’ School Social Workers with help from Boho Honey Boutique and the Pilot Mountain Civic Club will be selling t-shirts made by Jam’N Tees. All proceeds will go directly to the School Social Workers’ family assistance funds to help assist families in Surry County Schools with needs such as, but not limited to, utilities, medication, shoes, clothing, beds, etc. We hope you all will consider purchasing a shirt to support SCS’s School Social Workers but more importantly to advocate for preventing child abuse in Surry County. April 4th will be “Wear Blue Day” for Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. So plan to wear your shirts during the month of April and April 4th countywide! Thank you all so much for your support and your dedication to Surry County Schools students and families!

#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!
