LURAY, Va. (ROCKTOWN NOW) – Luray High School staff will remain on site until 5:00 p.m. for any student who needs to return to the school to retrieve any personal belongings. All evening activities are canceled at LHS as staff work to resolve the issue.

Page County Public Schools reported a few moments ago that at around 3 p.m. this afternoon, the fire alarm system was activated at Luray High School.

That prompted an evacuation of the building, which required that students and staff leave their belongings in the school building.

In cooperation with local emergency services personnel, school officials dismissed students on school buses, to parents, and in their personal vehicles.

Once the school building has been cleared by emergency personnel and folks are able to re-enter, officials will notify parents and students of a time when they can return to the building to retrieve their personal belongings.
