Kindergarten celebrated Grandparents Day by hosting a breakfast to honor each child’s grandparent.
Our fundraiser top sellers enjoyed a treat from The Chill Mobile.
Monday will be day 4 in our specials rotation. Kindergarten students will host a special breakfast for grandparents at 8:00 in the cafeteria. Also, your child will bring home their 1st quarter progress report. Please take some time to review it with them and help them set goals for their first report card. On Tuesday, we will have GROW Strong and Chorus practice after school. Your child will need a note in order to be able to stay. Friday, September 15th will be a teacher workday. There will be no school for students. Looking ahead, please mark your calendars for our Fall pictures on September 21st. These photos will be used in our school’s yearbook. Thank you!
Good afternoon. This is Kelly Waters, principal of Rockford Elementary School. When something occurs that involves our students, I want to keep you informed and provide you with accurate information.
Today during recess, a student strayed from their class group and joined a different class group entering the school building. The teachers thoroughly searched the playground and then immediately notified myself, who chose to put the school in a shelter in place to locate that student. The student was quickly located and the shelter in place was lifted in less than 2 minutes.
I want to assure you that we take the safety of your children very seriously. Thank you for your involvement in your child’s education and your partnership with Rockford Elementary School. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (336) 374-6300.
Congratulations are in order for our cafeteria staff! They got a 100 for their inspection today!
Good evening Gators! This is Mrs. Waters with weekly news. Tuesday will be day 6 in our specials rotation. On Friday, September 8th students will give speeches and we will hold our student council elections. We wish each student good luck. Also on Friday students who sold each date on their fundraiser calendar will receive a treat from The Chill Mobile. Looking ahead, the first quarter progress reports will come home on Monday, September 11th. Finally, a few announcements for any students who auditioned and would like to participate in chorus. Students must return their contracts to Ms. Edwards by Tuesday. Parents of these students should sign up on the Remind group for updates and notes are required to stay after school for practice.

Surry County Schools will be dismissing at 2:00 p.m, today, Monday, August 28, 2023 due to potential flooding. All evening activities are canceled and after school childcare will close at 5:00 p.m.
Surry County Schools has worked with the National Weather Service and Surry County Emergency Management Officials to monitor weather conditions throughout the morning. Last night, areas of Surry County received 3-6 inches of rain. As a result, there was localized flooding in northern Surry County this morning.
More rainfall is expected this afternoon, which could create additional flooding issues across many areas of Surry County. Therefore, Surry County Schools will be dismissing at 2:00 p.m. to ensure students return home ahead of additional projected rainfall.
Thank you for your continued support of Surry County Schools and please use caution as you travel this evening.
Flat Rock Elementary School will be dismissing today, Monday, August 28, 2023, at 11:30 a.m. due to power outage. All students will be sent home with bagged lunches. This outage is currently affecting over 1,233 Duke Energy customers and a crew has been assigned to restore power. The estimated time of restoration is 5:00 p.m.
At Surry County Schools, safety is our top priority. Given the unknowns of the situation as well as the potential flexibility of the estimated time of restoration, we feel it is in the best interest of families for Flat Rock Elementary to dismiss early. Surry County Emergency Services has informed the district that Pine Street will be open shortly after being closed temporarily this morning due to flooding.
At this time, Flat Rock Elementary School is the only school impacted, all other schools are on normal schedule today. The district is continuing to closely monitor weather conditions due to reports of heavy rain and flooding in areas of Surry County. The district is working with Surry County Emergency Management Officials to monitor conditions throughout the day.
