Stokes County Schools will be on a three-hour delay on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, and will have limited bus routes.
The majority of roads in Stokes County will be fine in the morning. There may be a few patchy problem spots. There are a few roads on which we will not send buses. This will affect less than 2% of our students. Schools are calling the families who live on the roads where we will not send buses.
Please know that we make weather decisions primarily based on our bus routes and the majority of our students. We are making this decision early so you can check your route to school, especially if you decide to allow your child to drive to school tomorrow.
Please take your time and be safe when coming to school. To allow time for safe travel, schools will not count tardies for the remainder of this week.

Stokes County Schools will be closed Tuesday, January 14th, 2025 operating on a Remote Learning Day.

Depending on the weather, students will be taking the ELA Check In on Tuesday, 8th grade will take the Science Check In on Wednesday and Math will be on Thursday. Please be sure to have students at school on time each day but especially on test days as we begin promptly at 8:20. If there is a delay, we will not test that day. Honor roll field trip forms and money are due to Mr. Mabe on Wednesday of this week. Freaky Friday is this week for those students who are eligible. Funds raised from Freaky Friday this month will directly support our 8th grade students and their EOY activities. Each month the money we raise at Freaky Friday impacts students and allows us to purchase different programs and materials. Friday is also our Honor Roll Field Trip to roller skate. We cannot wait to celebrate our students who made As and Bs in the second quarter. Be sure to turn in a signed permission form and bring $10 to cover the cost of the trip. There will be no school next Monday, January 20th. This is in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I hope that you all had a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much for the continued support.
