While April has been known as Autism Awareness Month since the 1970s, leading organizations across the country have started shifting the language to match the need for acceptance within our communities.
Autism Acceptance Month aims to foster acceptance through improved support and opportunities in education, employment, accessible housing, affordable health care, and comprehensive long-term services.

Dear Parents and Students,
As we approach the conclusion of the 2020-21 school year, please remember that students will be expected to complete all coursework and assessments (unlike the 2019-20 school year, when schools were ordered closed). We are also expecting students to participate in the SOL tests at their respective grade level or course. The Page County Public Schools promotion/retention policy (IFAC) will be enforced.
At the elementary school level, students in grades 1-5 must pass English Language Arts and Mathematics in order to be promoted. Any student in grades 4 and 5 who fails a core subject will be required to attend summer school to be considered for promotion.
At the middle school level, students must pass English, Math, and Science or History in order to be promoted. Any student who fails any of these subjects will be required to attend summer school to be considered for promotion. Failure to attend and demonstrate proficiency in the necessary skills will result in retention.
At the high school level, all classes that students are enrolled in at the high school level are needed for graduation. If students do not pass, they will be required to attend summer school or enroll in those classes next year.
We look forward to continuing to work with you to make sure your student(s) has what is needed in order to finish the 2020-2021 school year successfully. If you have questions or concerns related to academic achievement, you are encouraged to reach out to your school administrator or counselor.

Clarification to the Original Post Regarding the Proposed SY Calendar for 2021-2022.
The proposed Page County Public Schools 2021-22 school calendar draft has students returning to school 5 days a week beginning the week of August 23, 2021. It is built on the 180-day model and therefore the draft utilizes remote learning days to satisfy the requirements of the Virginia Department of Education as well providing some flexibility. We are working on developing a summer program to address the learning gaps that may have occurred over the past 2 years. The July and August days listed on the draft (SWH-Summer Work Hours) are 12 month employee work hours, not instructional days. Page County Public School is exploring a full remote option for students who are interested. We will continue to collect feedback and review your comments through the development of the school calendar.

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.

A few years ago Massanutten Regional Library (MRL) rolled out a Student Access Card (SAC) for use by all PCPS students. This SAC gives all students access to some of the digital resources available through MRL. It includes access to all of the school age appropriate databases provided to public libraries by the Library of Virginia as well as sources paid for by MRL for which our contracts allow this type of sharing.
In an effort to help students we have created a video specific to PCPS that highlights information on how to use the card as well as some of the resources available with the card. This link will take you to the video on the MRL YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deLrlrd2BVs&list=PLZLxa2aKIdp_WGx7uzSjhU1yBoYp6148I&index=3

Page County Public Schools would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our hard-working, dedicated teachers.

Sometime this week, have your child write a note or make a card/poster, take a picture and post it in the comments. So that everyone sees the participation, please submit the pictures in the comments on the Page County Public Schools Facebook Page for all of us to enjoy. Please share.
IN HONOR OF TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR CHILD TO
THANK A TEACHER: Please follow the instructions below if your child wishes to participate.
For the fifth year, the Virginia Lottery is encouraging students, parents and the general public to send thank you notes to Virginia's deserving public school teachers during National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4 – 8. Your favorite teacher could win a Virginia vacation and prizes for your school! Make your favorite teacher smile with a digital thank-you note featuring custom artwork by the three student art contest winners.

If ever there was a group that deserved recognition, especially during this time, it's our cafeteria and Nutritional Services staff. To Jennie Jeffries, her assistant Kate Comer, and to all of PCPS Nutritional Services staff (and to the volunteers who have assisted), we applaud you for your hard work everyday, and especially since the end of March when your dedication to the students and community of Page County was never more obvious. YOU are the true Lunch Heroes! Today, we celebrate you!
A Message to Our Page County Public Schools Community:
A new program will allow PCPS students who are qualified to receive free or reduced price meals to also be eligible for additional assistance through a pandemic EBT program. We do not have all of the specifics or timeline yet, but this project will be in addition to the free meal delivery for all children 18 and under that is already occurring. If your child was already approved for free or reduced price meals, you do not have to do anything. If you were not already qualified for free/reduced price meals, families can still apply online at www.lunchapplication.com or can request a paper application by calling the Central Office (540) 743-6533 ext. 2816 or by e-mailing vjeffries@pagecounty.k12.va.us. If a family was denied free/reduced price meals earlier in the school year, but there has been a change in the household income, the number of people living in the household, or someone in the household is now receiving SNAP or TANF benefits, you may reapply. Those families who have a new address (which has not been previously reported to the school), should contact their home school to make sure it is updated. Please contact the Nutritional Services Office (540) 743-6533 with any questions. This institution is an equal opportunity provider. Thank you, and please share.

Per Governor Northam’s announcement today, all schools will remain CLOSED for the remainder of this school year. Within the next 24 hours, all school divisions will be given guidance from the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) pertaining to graduation credits, continuity of learning with a focus on equity and other matters. Meals will continue to be provided to students. We know you will have many questions and we ask for your patience and understanding while we work on the details in collaboration with our federal and state agencies. We will have more to share with our stakeholders later this week, and we will continue to communicate the next steps and plans as they evolve throughout the upcoming weeks and months as we navigate these uncharted waters together. Please stay safe, and please share. Thank you.
Update from the superintendent's office: PCPS has been working in consultation with various agencies regarding school closures due to COVID-19. While we are awaiting official guidance from local and state agencies, we would encourage families to plan for the likely event of an extended school closure beyond the original March 27th date. While we do not have an official announcement just yet, we want our PCPS families to be prepared for this strong possibility, as an official decision is likely to be made sometime next week. When, and if, that happens, more communication regarding our instructional plans will be forthcoming. There is no academic emergency right now, so do not feel pressured to begin teaching your students at home; however, if you want things for your children to do, we have lots of resources listed on our website, pagek12.org (click on the Covid-19 button). Right now, students only need to be enjoying the safety of their homes and an extended spring break.
Each day our numbers continue to grow in our meal deliveries for children. Almost 600 meals were delivered on the first day. On the second day, 737 were delivered, and we have orders for almost 800 meals today. None of this would be possible without the help of our volunteers who are helping to serve our community. Thank you for all you do! If you, or someone you know is need of meals, please visit https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGd70TkPEXF5N-0nnbhVPFKYDDSc-Zd3UhvZCRJMKMD7WsJg/viewform
