Stanley Families and community,

Please join us for Literacy Night on October 16th, 5:15-7:15. Pizza will be provided and great stations have been developed revolving around spelling. We are excited to spend with our Stanley families.
Dear PCPS Faculty, Staff and Families,
Late this afternoon, information was provided to PCPS from local law enforcement regarding a social media post showing a weapon and a threat listing the abbreviations for several locations. Two of those abbreviations were written as “Lhs” and “Lms”.
This post is in reference to school divisions in Maryland and does not have anything to do with Page County Public Schools, Luray High or Luray Middle schools.
We are sharing this information with you to let you know that we are aware of this post as is law enforcement and to assure you that this threat is not directed to PCPS, LHS, or LMS.
Thank you once again to our law enforcement partners for their responsiveness and continued support.
Parents and Guardians, please continue to have conversations with your children about making threats of any kind and the importance of reporting information to the school or law enforcement.
Thank you
Please take a moment to read this joint letter from the division Superintendent in conjunction with the Page County Sheriff's Office and the Commonwealth Attorney: https://5il.co/2x167
Thank you!
Attention parents/guardians of children with disabilities, who reside in Page County:
Attention families!
Stanley Elementary HOCO Spirit Week information: September 30, 2024-October 4, 2024
Route 211 may remain closed for up to two hours. Alternate routes are recommended at this time. Families of Governor's School students are being contacted directly by the LHS or PCHS.
The community issue involving law enforcement on Route 211 near New Market Mountain has been resolved. Luray High School is moving back to normal operations.
There is a community issue involving law enforcement on Route 211 (near the New Market mountain). While the situation is contained to that area, Luray High School is in lock-in out of an abundance of caution. A lock-in means that students will be changing classes as normal, all students will be kept inside and early dismissals or transfers of students for the Tech Center will go as planned and are being monitored by the SRO and school administration.
Students returning from the Governor’s School are currently being held on Route 211 by law enforcement as all traffic in the area has been halted.
There is no direct threat to LHS students or staff or to any PCPS school - this is a precaution given the location of the police matter.
Thank you.
Dear PCPS Faculty, Staff and Families,
The Department of Criminal Justice Services has shared with school divisions a notice of a school shooting threat that is circulating nationally on social media through Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok. This threat is not specific to any person or school in Page County and it is believed that this is a mass distribution of a spam Snapchat image. However, we are still taking this seriously and will continue to monitor it throughout the day. At this time, there are no specific threats to our schools, staff or students.
We are in communication with local law enforcement. There will be an increased police presence at school throughout the day and at dismissal. This social media information is being monitored by multiple agencies and updates will be provided if needed.
As we have been sharing all week, please notify us or law enforcement if you hear or read anything of concern.
Thank you for your continued support and ongoing vigilance as we all work to ensure the safety of all students and staff.
Dr. Fox
Superintendent
