LURAY, Va. — On Sunday, Page County Public Schools administrators attempted to notify students and parents that Monday classes would be on two-hour delay. Due to notification system issues, however, school officials are asking the public to help spread the word via other means.
The following announcement was posted on social media shortly after 7 p.m. on Sunday, December 14:

Within the hour, school officials learned that the text / email notification system used to alert students, parents and teachers of schedule changes was not functioning. Except for those on Facebook, the message about Monday’s delay was not seen.
School administrators quickly posted the following message on social media:
We apologize for the delay in your receiving the weather alert via push notification, call, text, and email.
The alert was sent out at 7:05, but has yet to send. The company is aware of this problem, as other schools are experiencing issues.
Please spread the word to those who may not have social media. Again, we apologize for this inconvenience.
