Dear Staunton Families, It has been a great first week! Thank you for your continuous support and patience with technology as we get the school year underway. Reminders for next week: • Breakfast is being served to all students attending school for In-Person learning. Once your child arrives to school they should report to their classroom, drop off their things and head to the cafeteria for breakfast. • Textbook and technology device pick up for Elective Remote learners will be on Monday, August 17th from 10 AM to 2 PM. Changes effective immediately: • Grade 6-12 teachers new office hours for Elective Remote learners will be from 1:45 PM to 2:50 PM daily. Grade 6-12 teachers will not be available from 7 AM to 7:30 AM due to In-Person learners being present in their classrooms during this time. • We received updated Illinois Department of Health (IDPH) guidelines for face coverings. The IDPH now only recommends cloth face coverings. Therefore, students and staff should only wear cloth face coverings to school. The “Gaiter” type neck and face coverings are not permitted to be used in place of a cloth mask at school.

We had a great first day of school at Staunton! It was great to see all of the students. We want to thank you for your patience with drop off and pick up. The procedures we have in place will continue to improve over time. Unfortunately, our internet went down in the middle of the day for a short time on Thursday. If your child is an Elective Remote learning student please continue to be patient with their classroom teacher in reference to technology. If the internet goes down at school it may take a short time for it to get back up and running, but I promise your child's Remote Learning teacher will hop back on the internet as soon as they are able to do so. All in all, we had a fantastic first day! Thank you everyone for your continuous support. We are ready for day two!

It’s not too late to stop by our transportation shed to obtain your child’s bus route and pick up/drop off times for the 20-21 school year. Our doors will close this evening at 7 PM.

This is a friendly reminder to you our transportation shed will be open this evening from 5 PM to 7 PM for our families needing to obtain their child’s bus route and pick up/drop off times for the 20-21 school year.

Dear Staunton CUSD #6 Families, To limit the number of outside individuals entering the building, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our In-Person School Supply Drop Off Night taking place inside the school buildings on Tuesday, August 11th. We will move forward with having our transportation shed open outside on Tuesday evening from 5 PM to 7 PM as scheduled for our families needing to obtain their child’s bus route and pick up/drop off times for the 20-21 school year. We will have extra staff available on Thursday and Friday morning to assist students to their classrooms if needed. If necessary, students may bring half of their school supplies to school on Thursday, and bring the other half of their school supplies to school on Friday. If you were unable to find supplies from your child’s school supply list due to these supplies being unavailable in stores, please send them to school once they become available. Please do not send homemade items, such as disinfectant wipes, to school with your child. We will accept store bought items only. We apologize for the inconvenience this cancellation has caused. Please know our top priority is the safety of our students, staff and school families. Thank you for your continuous support and understanding. We are looking forward to students returning to school on Thursday, August 13th!
