#SCSUpdates | REMINDER: There is no school tomorrow, Friday, September 18, 2026, as it is a Staff Professional Learning Day.

Have a safe and fun weekend! We will see everyone back on Monday, September 21st!

#SCSCelebrates | Today we celebrate #NationalITProfessionalsDay! We are fortunate to have the best of the best here in Surry County Schools! 💻

This team completes a lot of visible and behind-the-scenes work to ensure that students and staff can efficiently use technology during the school day. They are ready to jump in and help however they can whenever technical difficulties arise. Technology constantly changes, and our IT professionals stay informed of trends and tools to serve our students, staff, and families well!

Happy IT Professionals Day to Tim Hippert, John Johnson, Jim Harvish, Jackson Lindsay, Michael Pinckney, Sebrena Flippin, Chet Luffman, Jeremy Stoker, and Melissa Spurlin!

#SCSSchoolNutrition | SCS cafeterias are serving up nutritious, delicious options every day, and we want our students to make the most of them! 🥗🍓🥕

Parents, encourage your student to try something new at lunch. Grab the pizza, sure…but don’t forget to add some fresh fruit, vegetables, or a salad to the plate, too!

A balanced lunch helps fuel students for learning, growing, and making the most of their school day. So, next time you’re in the lunch line, look beyond the usual choice and give something new a try!

#SCSUpdates | The City of Mount Airy has identified an issue with the water supply serving all schools in the North District and is working to resolve it. The cause of the issue is still being investigated, but the water has been confirmed safe for consumption. The water does, however, have an unusual odor.

Out of an abundance of caution, Surry County Schools is providing bottled water to students and staff at all affected locations.

Bathrooms throughout the affected schools remain safe to use, and school operations will continue as normal. We anticipate the issue will be resolved quickly and will share additional updates as more information becomes available.

We appreciate the City of Mount Airy’s efforts to address the issue and thank our families and staff for their patience and understanding.
