Luray Middle School

Please read this update on the administrative changes at Luray Middle School: https://5il.co/3i8yo Thank you!

This is a great opportunity for anyone in need of sports physicals for the 2025-2026 school year.

Dear Luray High and Page County High School Faculty, Staff and Families, As we plan for graduation ceremonies on Saturday, June 7, 2025, we have been closely monitoring weather forecasts. Given the prediction of rain and thunderstorms and the uncertainty around the timing of these weather events, the division has decided to move all graduation ceremonies indoors on Saturday. The times of the ceremonies will remain unchanged: Luray High School – 10:00 AM Page County High School – 6:00 PM This decision allows our staff time to prepare the gymnasiums for graduation and ensures that families have time to adjust their plans. It will be important for all families to follow the directions the school has provided for moving the ceremonies inside. Please look for additional information from Mrs. Clark (LHS) and Mr. Cale (PCHS) between now and Saturday. Both ceremonies will be live-streamed for anyone who cannot attend in person. Luray High School Live Stream Link Page County High School Live Stream Link Thank you for your understanding and support as we ensure a safe and memorable celebration for our graduates and their families. Congratulations to the Class of 2025! Page County Public Schools

Important Message From PCPS: All afternoon and evening activities scheduled for today, Wednesday, May 14, 2025, have been cancelled. Thank you.

Good morning, Unfortunately road conditions in various locations across the division are not passable by our buses and division vehicles and some roads are closed. All PCPS schools and offices will be closed today, Wednesday, May 14, 2025. 12-month staff do not report. This decision was not made lightly and was made out of an abundance of caution for the safety of all students, staff, and families. Any SOL testing that was to take place today will be rescheduled. Schools will be communicating information to staff and families as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support and patience. Please stay safe today! Thank you!

All PCPS schools and offices will open on a two-hour delay today, Wednesday, May 14, 2025. Please arrive at your bus stop two hours later than usual. Breakfast and lunch will be served. This delay will allow staff to continue to evaluate conditions across the division. We will communicate updates or changes if needed. Again, we thank you for your support as we navigate varied road conditions across the division to ensure everyone’s safety.
