I would have everyone login with email address and have a field that denotes their role (staff.student, etc)

However, if you have to use username or email, I would check if the entered username contains a "@" if it does authenticate using email and password otherwise username and password

if(strpos($username, '@') === false )
{
    if (Auth::attempt(['username' => $username, 'password' => $password]))
    {
        // A student authenticated
    }
}else{
    if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $username, 'password' => $password]))
    {
        // Someone else authenticated
    }
}

untested,,,
