Open House
We will be hosting Open House on Monday, August 10th, from 2:00 to 6:00 PM. We welcome families to come by any time during this time frame to meet their teachers. Teachers will be leaving at 6:00 to have the opportunity to visit the middle school and high school's open houses as well. Several bus drivers will be here for Open House and will be set up in the gym. The office will remain open until 7:00 and administration will be here as well to help answer any questions that you may have and to continue answering any bus related questions as well.
* Due to an overlap in timing, two of our teachers will be in training on Monday afternoon. Ms. Harvey and Ms. Bracy (special education teachers) will be here from 4:00 to 6:00 to meet their students.

Dear ACPS Families and Employees,
Please read the attached letter from Dr. Troxell regarding the safety concern at Buffalo Gap High and Middle Schools today.

All ACPS after-school activities and evening building use rentals for today are cancelled. All students are to go home immediately upon dismissal.
Due to the special election called by Governor Spanberger on April 21, 2026, ACPS has made an adjustment to the current school calendar to accommodate voting in our buildings. Monday, April 20, 2026 was originally scheduled as a day off for students and teacher workday/professional development. April 20th will now be a regularly scheduled school day. Tuesday April 21, 2026, will now be the workday/professional development day for teachers with schools being closed for students.
Thank you

The ACPS School Board Meeting on November 6, 2025 may be viewed on the Augusta County Public Schools Streams YouTube channel. You can access the meeting using the link below:
https://www.youtube.com/@ACPSStreams

Update for October 2, 2025
We will be streaming our school board meeting tonight on Facebook as we have done in the past. The stream will remain archived/active for 30 days prior to it being removed. We will still work on getting the stream switched over to YouTube for future meetings.
Plan Moving Forward - Streaming and Archiving of School Board Meetings:
Previously, our School Board meetings were both hosted and archived through Facebook Live. Facebook has changed their archiving policy. Now all new Facebook Live videos are automatically deleted from Facebook pages and profiles after 30 days.
We will be moving this service to our Google Workspace accounts through YouTube, which allows us to host the videos indefinitely. The School Board meetings will still be available to the public and live. However, we will still be linking to them on Facebook for public access.
