Town of Stanfield and Stanly County - Back to School

The Town of Stanfield and Stanly County students will return to school on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, and we want to help everyone start the school year safely.

As you travel throughout the Town and county, please be extra alert around schools, crosswalks, and neighborhoods where children will be walking or riding bicycles.

A few extra seconds of patience can make all the difference.

Please remember:
Expect heavier traffic during morning and afternoon school hours.
Stop for pedestrians in marked crosswalks.
When a school bus has its stop arm extended and red lights flashing, you are required to stop.
Slow down and obey the 25 MPH speed limit in school zones.

Whether you’re driving, walking, or riding a bicycle, let’s work together to keep our students, school staff, and community safe throughout the school year.

Thank you for doing your part, and have a safe and successful school year!

🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE 🚨

Residents and business owners are urged to be aware of an ongoing phone scam involving individuals falsely claiming to be with the local sheriff’s office.

Callers are telling victims they have an outstanding warrant for arrest and demanding payment to avoid being taken into custody. In some cases, they may instruct you to withdraw large sums of money or send payment through unusual methods. In some instances, the money was told to be delivered to an address (A gas station).

This is a scam. Law enforcement will never request payment over the phone to avoid arrest.

If you receive a call like this:
• Do not provide any personal or financial information
• Do not send money or follow their instructions
• Hang up immediately

If you are unsure, contact the Stanfield Police Department or your local law enforcement agency directly using a verified phone number.

If you believe you have been targeted or victimized, please report it to your local law enforcement agency.

Please share this information to help protect others in our community.

February 15, 2026, is School Resource Officer Day, and we’re proud to give a well deserved shoutout to Sgt. Zachary Caldwell for his outstanding service at Stanfield Elementary School.

If you’ve been on campus, you’ve seen him…greeting students in the morning, checking in with staff, and keeping a watchful eye on things throughout the day. Sgt. Caldwell is a steady, visible presence who helps ensure that students and teachers can focus on learning in a safe and secure environment. His professionalism, preparedness, and calm leadership make a real difference.

But being a School Resource Officer is about more than a badge and a patrol car. Sgt. Caldwell is also a mentor, a listener, and a positive role model. He takes time to build relationships, answer questions (Yes, even the tough ones), and demonstrate what integrity, respect, and accountability look like in action. Those everyday interactions help shape not just safer hallways, but stronger futures.

We know the role of SRO is important, and we’re thankful to have someone who carries it out with dedication and heart. Today, the Stanfield Police Department proudly recognizes Sgt Caldwell for going above and beyond in service to our students, staff, and community.

Join us in thanking him for the work he does, not just today, but every day.
