#SCSUpdates | Due to the forecast of severe weather tomorrow, Monday, March 16, Surry County Schools will be closed for students, with an optional teacher workday for staff.
According to the National Weather Service, the highest and most widespread threat will be strong, damaging winds, with the potential for wind gusts between 60 and 70 miles per hour in our region. Winds are expected to begin increasing around 9:00 a.m., with the strongest conditions developing late morning and around midday, and continuing into the afternoon.
Because these wind speeds exceed what we consider safe for operating school buses, we do not feel comfortable having buses on the road during these conditions.
Again, Surry County Schools will be closed for students tomorrow, with an optional teacher workday for staff.
Thank you, and please stay safe.

It's National School Social Work Week and we are celebrating Mrs. Madison Robinette!
We are so thankful for her dedication, hard work and compassion for the students and staff! She goes above and beyond everyday. A Social Worker's job doesn't end when the school day is over. They are always on call and willing to do what it takes to make sure our students are safe and taken care of. If you know a Social Worker make sure you tell them Thank You!❤️

Presidents' Day is a U.S. federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February to honor the nation's presidents, specifically commemorating George Washington’s birthday. While officially designated as "Washington's Birthday" to honor the first president, it has evolved into a, popular day to recognize all U.S. presidents, often coinciding with Abraham Lincoln’s birthday
Thank you Officer LeFevre for all you do for our Shoals students, staff and community!
Special Announcement: From Ms. Lilly,
Something very exciting is happening at Shoals! On March 27th, we are having a Career Day! We are looking for some cool careers to showcase to our kiddos. If you have anyone in mind, send them my way. I am so excited to hopefully start a new tradition here at Shoals and show our students that if they can dream it they can be it!

Her story is a reminder that students' experiences today can shape the communities they serve tomorrow!

#SCSUpdates | The Inclement Weather Team has checked roads this morning and found areas where black ice has formed overnight. Due to black ice, Surry County Schools will transition to a 2-hour delay on Thursday, February 12, 2026. Thank you, and please stay safe this morning.
#SCSUpdates | The SCS Inclement Weather Team has been out early this morning, checking road conditions, and found widespread areas of black ice that formed overnight. Due to these hazardous conditions, Surry County Schools will transition to a two-hour delay on Tuesday, February 10, 2026. Thank you, and please stay safe this morning.
#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. Thank you, have a good evening, and please stay safe tomorrow.
#SCSUpdates | Due to continued concerns over secondary roads, low overnight temperatures, and the potential for black ice, Surry County Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, February 6, 2026, with an optional teacher workday. Schools and offices will open at 10:00 a.m. for staff reporting to work.
Throughout the day, our team has monitored changing road conditions across the county and carefully explored every possible option, including limited community stops and reduced bus routes. We would like to extend our gratitude to our SCS Transportation Department, who have diligently been checking roads all week.
As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We want our students and staff back on our campuses, but ultimately, conditions in many areas remain too dangerous to risk travel.
Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe.
