Surry County School Board Office
Dear Parents and Staff,
We are excited to share that YMCA will soon be partnering with our school division to provide before and after-school childcare services, with the potential to expand into summer programming for our students. The YMCA is widely recognized for its commitment to youth development, healthy living, and strengthening communities, and we are eager to explore how this partnership can best serve the needs of our families.
To ensure these services are designed with our community in mind, we are asking for your input. Your feedback will help us better understand scheduling needs, areas of interest, affordability considerations, and the level of demand for both school-year and summer childcare options. Whether you anticipate using these services or simply want to share your perspective, your voice is important in helping us build a program that supports our students and families.
Please take a few moments to complete our brief survey https://engagement.ymca.org/jfe/form/SV_9BLDVoiQI5CmNrU.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to provide safe, engaging, and accessible opportunities for all children in our community.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
April is a time for celebration and recognition. This month, we observe Workforce Readiness Month, highlighting career exploration and preparation for students, along with Workforce Readiness Day on April 16. Surry County Public Schools offers a variety of CTE programs, including JROTC, Agriculture, Technology, Energy, Business, and Family & Consumer Sciences.
Juniors and seniors may also participate in concurrent enrollment at BrightPoint Community College in fields such as HVAC, Welding, Precision Machining, and more.
We also celebrate the many staff members who support our students each day, including National School Librarian Day (April 4), Administrative Professionals Day (April 22), and School Bus Driver & Transportation Staff Appreciation Day (April 28). We are grateful for their dedication and contributions to our schools.
For questions about our CTE programs or opportunities, please contact your child’s school.
Have a safe and enjoyable Spring Break!
