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.

Good evening Gators! This is Mrs. Waters calling with weekly news. Monday will be day 2 in our specials rotation. We had a great first full week of school. Thank you for your patience and support as we get into a routine. We will be welcoming our PreK students this week and want to remind you of a few arrival and dismissal procedures. All students should be dropped off and picked up in the carline. Students will not be allowed to walk to meet vehicles or dropped off in the bus lot. It is a safety issue for students to be walking across the parking lots at these times. The only exception is for families who pickup and drop off from our handicap spaces. If you do not require these spaces, please leave them and the spaces beside them open for those that do. Also, please make sure you have your child’s first and last name on the card provided by your teacher and it is in a visible location on your dash. If your child requires assistance with a child seat, please pull all the way up to the stop sign before assisting them. Again, thank you for your patience as we improve our carline procedures. We are continuing to register students for our after school daycare program. If you are interested in signing your child up, please call our office. Your child recently brought home a form for Friendly Dental. If you are interested in dental services at school, please return the form by Wednesday. Kindergarten physicals need to be completed and required immunizations need to be up-to-date by September 8th. September 8th is the last day that students can come to school if they have not met these requirements. Surry County Health and Nutrition Center is hosting a Back to School Immunization Clinic on Saturday 8/26 in the Surry County Health Department Pediatric Building from 9-12 for those who need any immunizations. Please contact our school nurse for more information. Finally, we are continuing our calendar sale fundraiser. Remember, once you have filled five dates on your calendar, you can turn your ticket in for a prize. All students who sell every date on their calendar will receive a treat from the Chill Mobile. Thank you.
