On the first day of school, miss Norman’s class read the book Have you filled a bucket today? And learned what it looks like to be a bucket filler and a bucket dipper. Over the last 4 weeks they have been working to “fill their class bucket” by being kind, considerate and using manners. Today, they got to enjoy popsicles as a reward for filling the class bucket all the way up!
Good afternoon. This is Blair Lambert, principal of Mountain Park Elementary School, with an important update.
On Tuesday, our maintenance department determined that a PVC union coupling had failed on the water filter system at Mountain Park Elementary and would need to be replaced. The Surry County Schools Maintenance Team worked diligently to make the necessary repairs on Tuesday. The water filter system is working correctly and has been tested thoroughly by our maintenance department and the contractors who handled the installation.
Mountain Park Elementary School will operate under a normal schedule on Wednesday, September 4th.
Thank you for your continued support of Mountain Park Elementary, and we look forward to seeing students back in the building on Wednesday!
5th graders learned how the digestive system works with a hands on experiment! #discoverourbest
Hello Mountaineers. We hope you are enjoying the long weekend and look forward to seeing students back at school on Tuesday after the Labor Day holiday. Parents of kindergarten students, this is a reminder that kindergarten physical and immunization records are due no later than 9/11/24. If we do not have this information by the due date, the student will not be able to return to school until these medical requirements are completed. Please join us on Tuesday evening September 3rd at Tlaquepaque in Dobson for Mountain Park Spirit Night if you can. We would love to see you. Looking ahead, we invite any parent or guardian interested in joining the Mountain Park PTO to join us at the picnic shelter at 5:00 on Tuesday, September 10th. Thank you for your support of Mountain Park Elementary.

This week the Surry Central ROTC visited our 5th graders. 5th grade learned how to fold, put up and take down the flag properly. Mrs. Embry, Mrs. Dowell-Young and Mrs. Norman with former students had the privilege of watching previous Mountaineers lead as an ROTC.
Pre K is off to a great start! We have had 2 great first days and we are excited for what’s to come!
Join us for a spirit night to raise money for our school!
