Good afternoon,
After a period of time where all power had to be cut to the building to repair a damaged transformer, power has been fully restored to PCMS. During this power outage, lunch was served, restroom facilities were available to all, and instruction continued, albeit without technology devices. Thank you to the PCMS teachers and staff for adapting and making the day a productive one. Thank you to our PCMS students for responding positively to staff directives and working through the challenges of the day. Thank you to our maintenance and food service staff for stepping up and responding so quickly and efficiently.
Dear PCMS Faculty, Staff, and Families,
A transformer has blown outside of Page County Middle School resulting in parts of the school losing power. Instruction is continuing while more information is being gathered by PCPS maintenance staff and Shenandoah Valley Electric. Food services staff are continuing with lunch preparations and we are evaluating to determine if we need to release students early.
At this time, all students and staff are safe and we will continue to provide updated information. If a decision is made to release students early, we will provide advanced notice to families.
Thank you

Good evening PCPS Faculty, Staff and Families,
All PCPS schools and offices will open on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, Wednesday, October 2, 2024, with 12-month staff reporting one hour later than normal. This delay is to ensure that drivers have as much visibility as possible in the morning. At this time we do not anticipate needing to close school tomorrow.
Again, all PCPS schools will open 2-hours late on Wednesday, October 2, 2024.
We thank you for your continued support.
Thank you and have a great evening!

Good evening PCPS Faculty, Staff and Families,
All PCPS schools and offices will open on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, Tuesday, October 1, 2024. This is out of an abundance of caution and in anticipation of more rainfall this evening, in response to a flood warning that has been issued for our area, and the varied conditions across the county.
If the division needs to close tomorrow because road conditions are not safe enough for school buses, student drivers and staff, we will notify everyone as soon as possible in the morning. We will always err on the side of the safety of our students and staff. We thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Thank you!

Students should plan to arrive at their bus stop two hours later than they normally would. Breakfast and lunch will be served at school.

Good afternoon faculty, staff and families,
We are sending this message in response to the forecasted rain and the flood watch that has been issued for our area.
At this time, no decision has been made with regard to school tomorrow, Monday, September 30th. However, in order to allow everyone time to prepare, we are advising you that we may need to call a two-hour delay to navigate potentially hazardous road conditions caused by the predicted rainfall. If the decision is made to call a two-hour delay for tomorrow that decision will be made by 8:30pm this evening.
We also advise everyone to prepare in the event that road conditions deteriorate and school may have to be canceled tomorrow.
Again, at this time, NO DECISION has been made yet regarding the schedule for school on Monday, September 30th. We will continue to keep everyone informed throughout the evening.
We thank you in advance for your continued patience as we work to ensure the safety of everyone.

Dear PCPS Faculty, Staff and Families,
Late this afternoon, information was provided to PCPS from local law enforcement regarding a social media post showing a weapon and a threat listing the abbreviations for several locations. Two of those abbreviations were written as “Lhs” and “Lms”.
This post is in reference to school divisions in Maryland and does not have anything to do with Page County Public Schools, Luray High or Luray Middle schools.
We are sharing this information with you to let you know that we are aware of this post as is law enforcement and to assure you that this threat is not directed to PCPS, LHS, or LMS.
Thank you once again to our law enforcement partners for their responsiveness and continued support.
Parents and Guardians, please continue to have conversations with your children about making threats of any kind and the importance of reporting information to the school or law enforcement.
Thank you
