Luray Middle School

School Library Month is celebrated each April to bring awareness to the importance of having strong school libraries. PCPS celebrates our school libraries and our school librarians for the role they play in transforming and supporting learning that extends beyond the classroom. Thank you for all you do.

Earlier this week, 8th grade students from Luray Middle School visited Luray High to participate in a program designed to help 8th graders transition smoothly into high school. Students from LMS were addressed by principal, Mrs. Clark, assistant principal, Mrs. Meadows, school counselors, teachers, and a variety of student representatives. Student reps spoke about the importance of becoming involved in high school life and the opportunities available to them at LHS. They were then taken in groups on a scavenger hunt to become more acquainted with the building. 8th graders were also given their first official swag (t-shirts) welcoming them to Luray High School. Congratulations, and we look forward to seeing you in the fall!!

Thank you for your continued patience - Buses have departed the Page High and Middle campus and are headed to Shenandoah or Stanley Elementary. PCHS Tech Center students have been transported back to PCHS and will be catching their regular bus home. Decisions about PCHS afternoon and evening events will be made once we have more information on the power situation. CCLC programs at both PCMS and Stanley Elementary have been cancelled.

Students at Luray Elementary, Springfield ES, Luray MS, and Luray High are being dismissed at their regular time today. Luray High students at the Technical Center will return to LHS at their regular time. All activities at LES, Springfield ES, LMS , LHS and PCTC will continue as scheduled this afternoon and evening.

Due to power outages in the Shenandoah Elementary, Page County Middle and Page County High and the need to coordinate transportation in the area, we will be dismissing Stanley Elementary students home early today, Wed, March 27, 2024 as well. PCPS will be providing transportation to all students who normally ride transportation and parents or guardians may pick up students from school. Anyone who is picking up a student will need to provide a valid, state issued ID and should be on the student’s emergency contact list. The CCLC program at Stanley Elementary is being cancelled today and those students will ride thor regular bus home. We anticipate that buses will be leaving Stanley Elementary around 2:30pm. We will continue to provide updated information this afternoon. Thank you for your patience and support.
