Page County Middle School

This is a reminder that Open House is being held tomorrow and Thursday for Page County Public Schools. Please see the link (or picture below for designated times). Also, please remember all students and families are required to wear masks while inside of the school buildings. Schools will have masks available if you do not bring one with you. https://5il.co/wqjk Thank you, and please share.

Good evening PCPS Students and Families, On Thursday, August 12, 2021, there was a State Health Commissioner Order of Public Health Emergency Statewide Requirement to Wear Masks in K-12 Schools. The order states that all individuals aged two and older are required to wear masks when indoors at public and private K-12 schools in order to inhibit spread of the virus. All faculty, staff, students, visitors, or other individuals over the age of two present in any PCPS school, office, work, or other indoor location are required to wear a face mask. Additionally, there is still an order in effect from January of 2021, from the CDC, that requires face masks on all forms of public transportation. This includes school buses and division cars and vans. Please be prepared to wear a mask when you participate in our Open House events this week. Schools do have masks available if needed. The order did include a list of exceptions for which various individuals may qualify. This information is being reviewed by PCPS staff. More detailed information will be shared prior to the start of school for families. Thank you for your continued support of PCPS! Antonia M. Fox, Ed.D. Superintendent
