February is officially Love the Bus Month, and we are so grateful for our amazing bus drivers! They work tirelessly each day to safely transport our students and keep our school running smoothly.
A huge thank you to Leigh Wall, Jerry Holt, and Vickie Doby for all you do. Your dedication, care, and commitment do not go unnoticed—we appreciate you more than you know! 👏✨

Yesterday SAVE Promise students from Mrs.Priddy's 4th Grade class taught our students and staff the importance of Active Listening Skills. Active Listening is our leadership trait of the month and our students and staff will be working hard to make sure that they are using their whole body to listen and understand what others are trying to say. These students also shared that SAVE Promise will be hosting a food drive for the month of February along with a kindness challenge for "Random Acts of Kindness". Thank you SAVE Promise for your leadership!

During the month of January, our staff members work hard leading our students and each other with leadership skills. This month, Haley Newman was selected as the staff member who goes above and beyond for her peers and students by showing outstanding communication skills. Peers say, "Haley communicates effectively with her students. She not only uses verbal cues but also nonverbal. She communicates through positive body language too. She is seen smiling, making eye contact with her students as well as having open arms with not only her current students but former students as well."

During the month of January, our students have worked hard to be a good example of communication skills. The students below worked on expressing ideas clearly and effectively. This includes giving and receiving feedback. We are so proud of these Gators for being outstanding leaders in our school and community!

Student of the Month-
Throughout the month of January, many students are recognized for doing outstanding acts of kindness and leadership. Each month, one of these students is chosen as student of the month as a recognition to them going above and beyond the expectations given to them. This month, Raelynn Castro was chosen as our January Student leader of the month. Congratulations to Raelynn, keep working hard!

#SCSUpdates | Surry County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday, February 9, 2026. This delay will allow for improved visibility for our bus drivers and provide additional time for temperatures to rise, especially in areas where dark bus turnarounds and overnight ice runoff could create hazardous conditions in the morning.
