I am beyond excited to begin working in PCPS and look forward to joining in on the efforts to help students and schools thrive.”

Luray Middle is currently without power. Students will be dismissed as scheduled and any indoor after-school activities at LMS (such as rehearsals) have been cancelled. Outdoor practices and those at others schools will continue as scheduled.
At the Page County School Board meeting on Thursday, February 27, 2025, the Board voted to amend the 2024-2025 school calendar to provide additional instructional time.
Monday, April 7, 2025, will now be a full school day for students instead of a student holiday. Kindergarten registration will still take place on April 7, and details about parent-teacher conference opportunities will be shared soon.
Barring any further school closures, this will be the final calendar adjustment for the 2024-2025 school year.
Thank you for your continued patience and support of PCPS.
Dr. Fox
