Dear Roadrunner Families,
Keeping our students safe is one of our most important responsibilities. Part of that responsibility includes helping children understand what to do in the event of an emergency, while also ensuring they feel safe, supported, and cared for at school.
We recognize that recent events within our school division have made conversations about school safety especially sensitive. We also know that children and families may still be processing those events in different ways. With that in mind, we want to be thoughtful and intentional about how we prepare our students for emergency situations.
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be providing students with age-appropriate instruction and opportunities to practice what to do if an emergency requires us to evacuate or lock down during breakfast or lunch in the cafeteria.
Here is what we have planned:
Friday, October 30: During our Roadrunner Rally, we will provide students with general information about what to do if an emergency occurs while they are in the cafeteria.
Wednesday, November 4, and Thursday, November 5: Students will visit the cafeteria with their grade levels for more specific instruction and guided practice of our emergency procedures.
These activities will be calm, structured, and instructional in nature. We will not be simulating an emergency or attempting to frighten students. Our goal is simply to help children become familiar with the adults' directions and understand how to respond safely if an emergency ever occurs.
We believe that knowing what to do can help children feel more confident and secure. Our staff will approach these conversations with care, recognizing that some students may have questions or experience heightened emotions.
We wanted to share this information in advance so you can have conversations with your child if you feel that would be helpful. As always, if you have concerns about how your child may respond to these practices, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you for trusting us with your children and for your continued partnership in keeping our Roadrunner community safe.
Thanks,
Michael Perry

Please join us tonight from 5-7 on the Waynesboro Education Farm for our last community night of 2026!
Our school is pleased to partner with the Augusta Regional Dental Clinic again this year to offer its school-based oral health program on October 21, 2026.
Students enrolled in the program will receive a dental exam, X-rays, and, when appropriate, fluoride treatment and sealants—all at no out-of-pocket cost to families. A licensed dentist and dental assistants will provide these services. If your child is found to be in need of follow up preventative or restorative services, additional information will be sent to you.
A consent form will be sent home with your child. In order for your child to participate in this program, a parent or legal guardian must complete the consent form and return it to school.
If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Mandy. We look forward to helping our students maintain healthy smiles!

On Thursday, October 8, 2026, we're celebrating the 10th Annual Crunch Heard 'Round the Commonwealth and every student in our district is invited to take a bite with us. Each student will receive a fresh, local Virginia apple and join a synchronized crunch that celebrates healthy kids, Virginia farmers, and the power of school meals.
Ten years of crunching. Ten years of supporting local agriculture. Ten years of showing our students that healthy food is something to cheer about.
So grab your apple, count down with us, and let's make this the crunchiest celebration yet!
