Stafford County Public Schools

Stafford County Public Schools reported a technical difficulty Wednesday morning with the geotracking software that powers the MyRide K12 bus tracking app. Parents may experience delays in seeing real-time bus locations on this near-final day of the school year.

The district said all bus delays will continue to be posted on the official delay dashboard. Officials asked families for patience as they work through the issue.

“Stafford Schools will hold 2026 graduation ceremonies from Wednesday, May 28, through Saturday, May 30,” Stafford Schools announced. “Families, friends, and community members can visit the graduation webpage to view the ceremony schedule and access live stream links.”

Graduations are scheduled across five high schools from May 28–30, 2026.

Stafford County Public Schools is participating in the Summer Food Service Program and will provide free breakfast and lunch to all children this summer.

Meals are available on a first-come, first-served basis at multiple sites. The program runs from June 8 through July 2 at four elementary schools, with some closures on Fridays. North Star and Rising Star Early Start sites begin earlier on June 1 and run through July 16 but are limited to currently registered children.

Stafford County School Board Chair Dr. Elizabeth Warner opened the May business meeting with a point of privilege to directly address a recent hate incident at Stafford High School.

Warner stated that one of the board’s main goals is to provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment that ensures mental, physical, and emotional safety for all students and staff.
