Built in 1982, Surry Elementary School began operation in the fall of 1983 in the beautiful, historic county of Surry, Virginia. It is one of three schools in the Surry County Public School System and houses Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grades. We are also home to the Early Childhood Special Education department. Surry Elementary School is fully accredited by the state of Virginia and has met federal annual measurable objectives!

We encourage our students to model our three "R's" motto in the classroom and on the bus:

Being Respectful to themselves and others.
Being Responsible for their behaviors and actions.
Being Ready to learn in the classroom and ride on the bus.

We believe that the education of a child must be a cooperative effort amongst the child, parent, and teacher. However, we realize that students have different learning styles and developmental levels. As a result, we utilize a variety of instructional strategies to cater to each child's educational needs. By working together, we can ensure that each student receives the highest quality of education deserving of them.

We look forward to building the foundation for your child's educational future when you join our Cougar Cub family!
