Dear PCPS Faculty, Staff and Families,
The Department of Criminal Justice Services has shared with school divisions a notice of a school shooting threat that is circulating nationally on social media through Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok. This threat is not specific to any person or school in Page County and it is believed that this is a mass distribution of a spam Snapchat image. However, we are still taking this seriously and will continue to monitor it throughout the day. At this time, there are no specific threats to our schools, staff or students.
We are in communication with local law enforcement. There will be an increased police presence at school throughout the day and at dismissal. This social media information is being monitored by multiple agencies and updates will be provided if needed.
As we have been sharing all week, please notify us or law enforcement if you hear or read anything of concern.
Thank you for your continued support and ongoing vigilance as we all work to ensure the safety of all students and staff.
Dr. Fox
Superintendent

📣 Attention Parents and Students! 📣
Just a quick reminder, students need to bring their Meal ID Card (the green card with a barcode) to school every day! 🏫🍎 This card is essential for accessing school meals and ensures a smooth and efficient process in the cafeteria.
Please make sure it’s in their backpack or lunchbox each morning. If they’ve misplaced it, let us know so we can get a replacement sorted.
Thanks for your cooperation! 😊
