Please be mindful and allow our students and families to get to and from school safely.

Slow down in our school zones and help keep Stafford County students safe.

The graphic above shows the school zone flashing beacon schedule for all Stafford County schools. Please review the exceptions listed at the bottom.

Automated speed enforcement cameras are active and enforced only when school is in session and the school zone beacons are flashing. Advance warning signs are posted before each enforcement zone as required by Virginia law.

Cameras are currently installed at:
• Edward E. Drew Middle School
• Colonial Forge High School
• Stafford Middle School
• Stafford Elementary School
• North Stafford High School
• Brooke Point High School

Drivers traveling 10 mph or more over the speed limit in these school zones will receive a warning during the 30-day grace period or a civil citation once the cameras are fully activated.

These violations are civil penalties under Virginia law. They:
• Do not add DMV demerit points
• Are not reported as moving violations

Every potential violation is individually reviewed, verified and approved by a Sheriff's Office Deputy before a citation is mailed to the vehicle's registered owner.

Additional automated speed enforcement cameras may be installed at other school zones based on the program's evaluation and effectiveness in keeping students safe and improving driver behavior. Follow our Facebook and Instagram pages for updates or visit our website for more information: https://www.staffordsheriff.com/content/resources/Automated%20Speed%20Enforcement%20Camera%20Citation%20Information.cfm.

📚 Kindergarteners: Your first library card is waiting!

Starting today, families of Stafford Schools kindergarten students can apply online for a free library card from Central Rappahannock Regional Library. It’s a great way to help your child discover new books, explore their interests and build a lifelong love of reading.

🏫 Families can complete the online application by September 30. Once processed, the library card will be mailed directly to the student’s home.

And there’s more! From September 1 through November 30, kindergarten students can visit any CRRL branch and choose a book of their very own to keep. 📖❤️

Plus, teachers of students who complete a library card application will be entered into a drawing for a book bundle for their classroom library!

👉 Apply today and help your kindergartener start their own library journey.

Our students at Hartwood Elementary School found the perfect way to prioritize wellness this month! 💛

This week, the Hartwood Hornets have been exploring the trails near their school grounds during PE class. 🐝🌳

We hope you’re feeling inspired to step away from screens this weekend and take in the beautiful scenery in our region!

On Tuesday, November 3, Stafford County voters will consider a referendum on an additional local sales and use tax of up to 1%.

If approved, the referendum would authorize the County Board of Supervisors to implement the tax, which would go toward school facility projects throughout our division.

This funding could support:
➡️ Construction of new schools
➡️ Replacement of aging school buildings
➡️ Major renovations and modernization projects
➡️ Restoration or replacement of critical building systems
➡️ Classroom and instructional-space improvements
➡️ Eligible additions to existing schools
➡️ Eligible bond or loan financing costs associated with school capital projects

Specific projects would continue to go through established planning, budgeting, procurement, and approval processes. Approval of the referendum would not automatically authorize or fully fund every project.
