Staunton High School Families:

On Monday, October 19, 2026, high school students and staff will be participating in an E-Learning Day.

As construction continues on the high school auxiliary gymnasium and auditorium, the crews are placing the preformed concrete panels that will serve as the walls. Out of an abundance of caution, the crew has requested that the new 2-story high school addition be vacant during this process. A link to the E-Learning Plan, which includes the daily schedule and expectations is listed below. Also, it can be found by going to the Staunton School District website.

🎉 A heartfelt thank you to the Staunton Education Foundation for its generous $80,000 donation toward the blacktop resurfacing project at Staunton Elementary and Junior High School!

Our school district, its students, and staff members are grateful for the Foundation's continued support and commitment to enhancing the educational experience for our students. This contribution provides a refreshed and safe space for students to play, stay active, and enjoy time together.

Thank you to the Foundation and its donors for making a lasting difference in our schools!

Dear Staunton High School Families,

Today, October 13, 2026, high school students will be released for the day when they are dismissed for lunch at 11:50 AM.

The construction crew is currently placing preformed concrete panels that will serve as the walls of the new gymnasium. Out of an abundance of caution, the crew has requested that the new high school addition be vacant during this process. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.

Students who need to ride the bus home or wait for a ride may remain in a safe location in the north building of the high school until normal dismissal time this afternoon. Bus transportation home will be available at the regular time.

As this construction work progresses, the high school may need to utilize an E-Learning Day in the near future. The district will communicate any updates and necessary instructions to students and families as soon as that information is available.

Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we continue our high school construction project.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This is a reminder that students entering Preschool, Kindergarten, Sixth Grade, Ninth Grade, and Twelfth Grade must have their medical requirements up to date and on file in order to remain in attendance in school.

The deadline to provide required documentation is TWO WEEKS AWAY - October 15, 2026.

Students who do not have the required immunizations or documentation on file by this date may not be permitted to remain in school until the requirements are met.

If your child has already completed the medical requirements and submitted documentation to the school, no further action is needed. You can send via email to [email protected] and [email protected], or turn paper documents into the main offices.

If you have questions about your child's medical requirements, please contact the health office as soon as possible.

Thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation in helping us maintain a healthy and safe school environment for all students.

Sincerely,

Nurse Ali and Nurse Ashleigh
