PAGE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS NOW HIRING SCHOOL COUNSELORS!
Job Description: https://5il.co/b809

*This week we will be honoring our principals and assistant principals for all of the hard work they do for our students. If you see them out and about, please let them know how much you appreciate them. *
Today we honor our Middle School Principals and Assistant Principals
Luray Middle School:
Principal: Dr. Paul Johnson
Assistant Principal: Mrs. Heather Foltz
Dr. Johnson is in his 2nd year at Luray Middle School as principal. When asked about something that happened recently that made him smile, he said, "I was with a special needs student who was roaming through the building (I was trailing for safety), and the student entered the auditorium, got onto the stage and went into a performance (dancing, singing, facial and arm expressions). It was the cutest thing during what could have been deemed as an annoying situation."
When asked if he could visit anywhere in the world, where would he go? It was no surprise that he answered Hartlepool, England, his hometown. Dr. Johnson moved here at the age of 11, leaving lots of family behind. He loves to visit England as often as possible.
Mrs. Foltz says it was no surprise that she became a teacher, as she used to "teach" her stuffed animals as a little girl.
When asked about something kind someone had done for her recently, she said a junior from Luray High School brought her Dunkin to school, and it made her day.
Thank you Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Foltz for all you give to the Luray Middle School Community. You are appreciated!

This afternoon the PCPS central office received a phone call from an unknown individual who did not make a direct threat to anyone in the division but caused concern among the division staff. Out of an abundance of caution, staff contacted the Page County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) and Luray Police Department (LPD) who responded immediately.
Appropriate steps were taken at PCPS schools to continue to ensure student and staff safety.
LPD and PCSO personnel were present at all schools throughout the day and at dismissal. There will be additional law enforcement present at evening activities in the division. The LPD and the PCSO will also provide a continued presence at all schools tomorrow.
We take all concerns very seriously and will continue to work collaboratively to ensure student and staff safety at all times.
