Dear Staunton Families,
There have been some questions on why students will be returning to school earlier than anticipated. To help alleviate confusion, I want to be transparent with you on why the decision was made for students and staff to return to school on Wednesday, August 26th.
The Macoupin County Department of Health has made contact with all the necessary individuals that needed to quarantined due to last week’s situation. Individuals required to quarantine under the direction of the Macoupin County Health Department will not be returning to school until they are officially released by the Health Department to return to school.
Since students left Thursday, our district custodial staff has been working diligently sanitizing and cleaning all of the buildings. Knowing the most recent situation has been controlled by the Macoupin County Department of Health and all district safety measures have been met, we are ready to bring students back to In-Person learning on Wednesday.
Our Elective Remote learning students will continue to follow the Elective Remote learning plan beginning on Wednesday, August 26th.
Our goal at Staunton Schools is to continue to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for all our students while meeting their social, emotional and educational needs. The district administration and I appreciate your continuous support in helping us provide a safe learning environment for all our students.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Tolbert
Superintendent

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!
