The Staunton School District is excited to welcome back students for the start of the 2nd semester today, Wednesday, January 8th!
Due to varied road conditions across the district, buses will be traveling at reduced speed to transport students as safely as possible.
Additionally, all buses are expected to be running behind their usual schedule and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
If you are driving near a school bus, please use extreme caution and watch for children going to and from bus stops.
Finally, please remember to dress your child for cold weather and in shoes for walking in snow and ice.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school after the unanticipated extended winter break!

During this holiday season, Staunton Elementary is collecting needed items for our local animal shelter, Adopt-A-Pet in Benld. They are always overflowing with dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes. In some cases, the shelter is their home because they have a no-kill policy.
Shelter volunteers along with two adorable pups, visited classrooms to discuss proper pet care. They will be returning on Tuesday, December 17th to pick up donations brought in by our students. This is an optional activity, so if your child wishes to participate, they can select an item from the wish list to bring in and place under the Christmas tree.
This holiday tradition is always a favorite among students and staff. This year will include a little extra excitement by adding in some competition. Items on the wish list will be grouped according to how many points they are worth. The classroom with the most points will be awarded with a pizza party accompanied with some special guests in attendance.
