We want you and your child to have a hassle-free transition back to school. You can help by ensuring all back-to-school forms are completed in LINQ, our new online registration system. It doesn't matter if your child is a new or returning student to Staunton City Schools; all families must complete school forms in LINQ, or your child is not registered for school. Please make sure you've set up your account and completed all forms before Aug. 9. If you need assistance, please contact your child's school. We're excited to see you soon!

You want to be the first to know the latest news, safety updates, and important notices from your child's school. We have several ways to keep you up to speed via email, text and phone, but if your email and phone number aren't correct in our system, you might miss out. Take a moment to visit PowerSchool today and make sure all of your contact info is up to date. You can also opt into text message updates from us. Just send “Y” or “Yes” to 67587.

We began to reduce and eliminate many plastic items in our school meals program before the pandemic, and we're recommitting to our plastic solution resolution this year.

For 2023-24, we plan to:

• eliminate single-use plasticware where we can
• eliminate single-use plastic portion control where we can
• eliminate the use of plastic straws
• eliminate the use of all Styrofoam products

We continue to strive for alternate solutions to plastic food packaging and seek ways to use renewable resources in our school meals program. We hope you'll join us in practicing kindness to the Earth and protecting our planet!
