WCPS Families, to stem any confusion, please be aware that school is in session tomorrow, April 23.
In August 2023, the Board of Education adopted a calendar revision moving the Countywide PD Day from April 23, to May 14, to align with the Presidential Primary election date. As this change occurred prior to the start of the school year, all of our countywide calendars have accurately reflected this information since that time.
See it. Hear it. Report it.
With Safe Schools Maryland, there are many ways you can submit an anonymous tip in uncomfortable situations. Save this information to use for reporting. #WeAreWorcester #PartnershipsInAction
