This is a very important message from Page County Public Schools:
Over the past few weeks we have been closely monitoring COVID-19 data and its impact on our schools and community. In recent days, the number of cases has increased in the community. While student COVID cases and quarantines across the school division is low, our staff absences due to the virus are significantly starting to impact our ability to sustain our in person instructional model. School staff and administration have worked creatively to substitute for colleagues leveraging all our resources. We expect additional staff absences over the next few weeks to increase and we will not have the substitutes available to cover sufficiently. Therefore, we are making a short term change wherein Page County Public Schools will go FULL REMOTE for the next two weeks. After that we will all take time to celebrate the season with our 2 week winter holiday break. Schools will be putting out announcements regarding pick-ups for instructional materials. Announcements regarding food delivery and athletics will be forthcoming. Please continue to check for additional updates. Thank you.

Thanksgiving break is here. We, at PCPS would like to wish you and your families a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving. Please be aware, children are coming home today with bags of food that are quite awkward and heavy. Parents, if you have a small child riding the bus, we ask, if at all possible, that you meet your child at the bus stop to assist them in carrying the food. Thanks for your help, and enjoy the holiday.
A shout out this Monday morning to Nutritional Services! This one picture is just an example of what is going on right now at every school. All children in the school division will be offered bags of food this week (A Day students today, B Day and four-day-a week learners tomorrow, and Remote students through lunch pick ups) to help carry them through the holiday. The amount of time and organization of this effort to help our families deserves to be spotlighted. Thank you to everyone involved with Nutritional Services! Happy Monday everyone!

PCPS Students & Parents,
Please be aware that the remote learning materials you receive during the middle of November may look as though there is additional work, however, this is because teachers are combining work due to the Thanksgiving break. No Remote Learning is expected on the 25th, 26th, or 27th of November. Please enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with your families.
Thank you.
