Alleghany County Public Schools (ACPS) is committed to providing a safe environment for students, staff and visitors. ACPS collaborates with the Sheriff’s office, State Police as well as emergency responders and together, have developed a comprehensive Safe Schools and Emergency Response plan that serves as a guide to help staff and our public safety partners respond swiftly should a crisis occur in our schools.

Identification required -

All visitors will be required to sign in and show a form of identification upon entering the building.  Visitors going beyond the main office will be required to leave their driver's license or other form of ID until they return to the office to checkout. The parent or guardian's identification will cover minor children. Any visitor without a form of identification will need to be screened by an administrator and accompanied by a staff member to and from their destination. 

Thank you for helping keep our children safe.

WANTED:  Regular Team of Breakfast Volunteers 


Callaghan School is seeking a team of regular volunteers who are willing to commit a short time in the mornings each day to provide assistance to students during breakfast.  Tasks include:

  • Monitoring the breakfast line

  • Helping younger students open juice and milk containers and food packaging

  • Reminding students to clean up and throw away their trash

  • Keeping students aware of time

  • Wiping tables after students have left the cafeteria


Two volunteers per day is ideal; one will be sufficient.  This team of volunteers may provide service on a rotating schedule.  The daily time frame is from approximately 8:10am to 8:45am.  


A school breakfast will be provided for volunteers free of charge on each day of service.


You may express your interest in volunteering by notifying our office.  A brief volunteer training session will be provided by Mr. Craft. Approved volunteers may begin on the first day of school, August 8.  First time volunteers must submit to a mandatory background check and be approved by the Alleghany County School Board per ACPS Volunteer Handbook.
