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!

Out of an abundance of caution, all PCPS schools and offices will operate on a two-hour delay schedule on Monday, September 30, 2024.
Students should plan to arrive at their bus stop two hours later than they normally would. Breakfast and lunch will be served at school.
We are monitoring road conditions and should they not be safe enough for our buses, student drivers and staff, we will communicate with everyone as early as possible tomorrow morning.
Thank you and please stay safe.
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
Mark your calendars to attend this upcoming community event!

Page County Public School’s Crisis Management Plan and Virginia State Code require schools to conduct safety drills throughout the school year. Some of these drills are announced and others are unannounced and include Fire, Tornado, Lockdown, Bus Evacuation, and Earthquake drills.
Page County Middle School will be conducting a Lockdown Drill on 9/23/24.
It is crucial that we remain vigilant and prepared. Conducting regular lockdown drills is a key part of our commitment to ensuring that everyone is ready to respond effectively in the unlikely event of an emergency.
During the drill, students and staff will practice the procedures for securing their classrooms and remaining quiet and calm until further notice. This exercise will help us identify any areas for improvement and ensure that our safety protocols are as effective as possible. School Resources Officers are involved in these drills and provide feedback to staff after drills.
Please reassure your children that on 9/23/24 the school is having a drill and it is important to practice what to do in the event of an emergency. Knowing what to do will help everyone stay safe. We will be guiding them through the process with sensitivity and care, emphasizing that these drills are a precautionary measure.
We understand that this topic can be unsettling, and we appreciate your support and understanding as we work together to maintain a safe learning environment. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.
