Luray Elementary School

We are ready for you!! Welcome Back everyone! Check out our video . https://youtu.be/fuga4Crx6W0 Editing Credits to Nolan Nichols, LHS Class of 2010.

A few years ago Massanutten Regional Library (MRL) rolled out a Student Access Card (SAC) for use by all PCPS students. This SAC gives all students access to some of the digital resources available through MRL. It includes access to all of the school age appropriate databases provided to public libraries by the Library of Virginia as well as sources paid for by MRL for which our contracts allow this type of sharing. In an effort to help students we have created a video specific to PCPS that highlights information on how to use the card as well as some of the resources available with the card. This link will take you to the video on the MRL YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deLrlrd2BVs&list=PLZLxa2aKIdp_WGx7uzSjhU1yBoYp6148I&index=3 Please share.
