Good evening Luray Middle School Faculty, Staff and Families,
Late this afternoon, Page County Public Schools (PCPS) was made aware of a threat toward the school that was made by a student. The student involved will not be at school and the matter has been referred to law enforcement. Threats of any kind are taken very seriously with consequences given in accordance with the PCPS Student Handbook and Code of Conduct. Additionally, law enforcement will remain involved as the matter may be referred for charges.
Should your child need to speak with someone, counselors and administrators will be available tomorrow and as needed moving forward.
Parents and Guardians - we need your help - please speak with your child about not making threats of any kind - verbal, in writing, or through social media. Please remind them that making threats is not a joke, it is not funny, and it cannot be resolved by saying “I was just kidding.” Take a moment to also check your child’s phone and monitor your child’s social media apps for messages, videos, or interactions that may be concerning or warrant additional attention.
We also ask for your continued help in providing a safe and secure learning environment for everyone - if you or your child become aware of any potential threats please immediately notify a school staff member, a school resource officer, or contact law enforcement. You can also use the StopIt App to report anything that you may see, hear or read. More information about the StopIt App can be found HERE.
Over the next few days, administrators will be reviewing with students why we do not make threats and the potential consequences of making threats - both from a school and law enforcement standpoint.
We are committed to providing a safe learning environment for all students and staff. Thank you to the PCSO, all of our law enforcement partners for their assistance and support, and to the person who reported this information today.
Thank you for your continued support of LMS and PCPS.
