Good evening Page County Middle School Faculty, Staff and Families,
Late this afternoon, Page Middle experienced an issue with its boilers emitting a great deal of smoke. Shenandoah and Stanley Fire Departments responded in support and determined there was no fire. The boilers have been temporarily turned off until a technician can come to the school early tomorrow morning.
Given that temperatures are expected to be low tomorrow morning, Page County Middle School will operate on a two-hour delay on Tuesday, December 19, 2023. This two-hour delay is only for Page County Middle School. PCMS faculty and staff will also follow a two-hour delay and additional information will be provided to you in the morning.
If for some reason we cannot get the boilers running, we may have to cancel school altogether for PCMS. If that decision needs to be made, we will notify families between 8:30am and 9:00am.
Thank you to our fire departments for their assistance today. We apologize for the inconvenience and will continue to communicate with you in the morning.
Thank you and have a good evening.

Half of the 7th grade students visited JMU on Friday, December 1st to tour the James Madison University Campus. While there, students attended an information session, took a campus tour, were able to watch a Planetarium show, eat a delicious lunch at D-hall, and finished the day with a tour of the Plecker Athletic Center that included a panel interview session with a group of JMU athletes. It was a great day and PCMS would like to thank JMU for this great opportunity for our students. The other half of 7th graders will have the same opportunity in the Spring!
Page County Middle School would like to thank the Wildlife Center of Virginia for coming to present to 7th Grade Science students. Students were able to learn about the wildlife and actually meet some in person! They saw a possum, a falcon and a turtle. We are so grateful for this opportunity for our students.
