The Secure status at Pocomoke Elementary School has now been lifted. Normal activities have resumed, and everyone is safe. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Out of an abundance of caution, Pocomoke Elementary School is currently in a Secure status. This means that students and staff are remaining inside the building but are able to move freely within their classrooms. This precautionary measure is being taken due to a report of an incident that occurred on the other side of town.

UPDATE: Due to a scheduling conflict, the first Diet Coke with the Supt will be rescheduled to a later date. We will update the community as it is rescheduled. Thank you for your understanding!

A new school year means a fresh round of Diet Coke with the Supt! Dr. Annette Wallace is hitting the road again this fall, and the first stop is Pocomoke McDonald’s on Tuesday, October 13, from 5:00–6:30 p.m.

No agenda. No presentation. Just an opportunity for families and community members to pull up a chair, grab a Diet Coke (or your favorite beverage), and chat with Dr. Wallace about our schools, our students, and what’s on your mind. Mark your calendar, Pocomoke — we’ll see you in October! #WeAreWorcester #ListeningLeader

School's back, and so are kids walking, biking and riding to class.

Slow down in school zones, watch for children, and be ready to stop at crosswalks. #WeAreWorcester

What makes Worcester County Public Schools #1 in Maryland? According to a new feature from Maryland Matters, it’s more than test scores — it’s a culture built around knowing and supporting every child.

The article takes an in-depth look at the people and practices behind WCPS’ continued academic success, from dedicated educators and small-group instruction to a relentless focus on each student’s individual strengths and needs.

Perhaps Superintendent Dr. Annette Wallace said it best: “We’re all educators.”

And State Superintendent Dr. Carey Wright highlighted the commitment behind that belief, calling Dr. Wallace “relentless” when it comes to using data to ensure students receive the support they need to grow and thrive.

For WCPS, being #1 is something to celebrate — but the work is about much more than a ranking. Read the full Maryland Matters feature:

Every child getting on or off a school bus deserves to make it home safely.

Slow down, stay alert, and never pass a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing. #WeAreWorcester

Backpacks mean more than a new school year, they mean more children on the move.

Give yourself time to react. Slow down and watch for students near schools, bus stops, and crosswalks. #WeAreWorcester
