Due to a hazardous weather outlook and winter weather advisory issued by the National Weather Service for our area, Surry County Schools will transition to a Remote Learning Day on Friday, December 5, 2025, for students and staff.

This means all schools and facilities will be closed for students and staff. Elementary students should complete work in their remote learning packets, and middle and high school students should access their assignments on Canvas.

With the uncertainty of morning conditions, the district feels this is the safest option for students, staff, and the families we serve. Thank you, and please stay safe!

This month our Staff Leader of the Month showing Integrity is our SRO, Officer Richardson. Officer Richardson has been such a great asset to our school. Even though he has not been with us for long, he truly hit the ground running. He consistently goes above and beyond to help and protect our students and staff. No job is too small for him—he is always willing to lend a hand wherever needed.
What truly stands out about Officer Richardson is his integrity. He demonstrates honesty, reliability, and strong moral character in everything he does. Whether he’s ensuring our campus is safe, assisting staff with tasks like helping students off the playground, delivering packages, or greeting students each morning with a smile and a fist bump, he does it all with kindness and respect. His calm and caring presence makes our students feel safe, respected, and valued. Officer Richardson leads by example, reminding all of us what it means to act with integrity every day. We are very fortunate to have him as part of our school community, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this recognition.
