Good morning, Pocomoke families!
The storm last night knocked our phone system and internet out and we are working on getting that fixed as soon as possible. If you need to communicate with the school, please call the school board at 410-632-5000. They will then call one of our cell phones here at the building. If it is less urgent, you can email MSThompson@worcesterk12.org or DMCrippen@worcesterk12.org.
