This is a Reminder From PCPS-- Please complete NO LATER than March 28, 2024 As we did last year, we are asking parents to take the time to log into their Parent Portal Accounts and complete the ONE question survey regarding Internet Access. https://pagecounty.powerschool.com/public/home.html If you need additional assistance logging into the Parent Portal, please refer to these step-by-step instructions. https://5il.co/1fnbs Once you have logged into your Parent Portal, please go down to Forms on the left hand side, select Forms and then locate the Internet Access Survey and answer the ONE question. After you have completed the survey, we ask that you also take the time to update any contact information that may have changed for your child(ren)--Emergency contact Information, Parent Contact Information, Medical Information, etc. This should be done AT LEAST once every year to help us keep our records as up-to-date as possible. Thank you for your time and participation in this endeavor.

Page County Public Schools would like to extend a sincere “Thank You” to all First Responders for their heroic efforts during the recent wildfires. We know that it could have been so much worse if it hadn’t been for your tremendous effort and determination to protect our community. Thank you for being our “Hometown Heroes'' in the face of such devastation. We would also like to thank all of the residents of Page County and other areas who stepped up to volunteer or provided food, water, and other items in support of first responders and those in need, as well as those from outside agencies and organizations that came to assist. Your support of our community has not gone unnoticed. We are all deeply grateful!
