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.

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.
