From ACPS: Update on the new Library Notification process:
We have received many requests from parents who wish to receive daily notifications regarding the library books checked out by their children. Our librarians are diligently working to integrate these notifications into our library software. This process is time-intensive and may take several weeks to complete. We appreciate your patience as we work to fully implement this new communication at each of our schools.
If at any time, parents wish to discontinue the library notifications, please contact your school librarian at your convenience.

At approximately 2:07 p.m. today, the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) informed the school division of a community event in the Stuarts Draft and Riverheads area. ACSO requested that Stump Elementary School be placed under the code “secure” for approximately 60 minutes this afternoon. Even though the situation was not associated with the school, the code “secure” was implemented out of an abundance of caution. During a code “secure”, students and staff remain inside the school and the instructional routine is not disrupted. Two buses that travel on Cold Springs Road and Wilda Road were temporarily held at the schools per the direction of ACSO. At approximately 3:30 p.m., ACSO gave the “all clear”. We appreciate the patience and understanding of our families and the assistance provided by ACSO.
Graduation - Saturday, May 18 - 10:00 a.m. | Riverheads High School Main Gym | Livestream the event on Facebook:
