With spring around the corner, WCPS is releasing its updated current school year calendar that reflects an updated last day of school, given the single inclement weather closure this year. Please note, June 14 and 17 still appear as potential make-up days, but are unlikely to be used.
Last call to join us if you'd like to learn about Worcester's implementation of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future. Tonight's regional information session at Snow Hill High School (5:30 p.m. at Snow Hill High School) will be the last opportunity to provide in-person feedback before the 2024 plan is finalized.

IMPORTANT STATEMENT FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION:
The Worcester County Board of Education remains committed to the safety and security of our students and staff. While we have already publicly addressed the recommendations and presentations by our law enforcement officials, we recognize that this continued public debate on school safety is not conducive to restoring the partnership between our entities, and it stands to further incite fear in our students.
To that end, the Board and Superintendent of Schools has extended an open invitation to the Worcester County Sheriff and Chief Deputy to meet with the Superintendent and Chief Safety and Academic Officer to discuss the execution of our Memorandum of Understanding and how we can best move forward for the betterment of our schools.
Saw beautiful 3D expressive portraits, African adinkra artwork, and watercolor cats at Pocomoke Middle today! #ArtsAreAliveInWorcester
IMPORTANT: Due to forecasted budget outlook for the coming year, Worcester County Public Schools has cancelled its job fair scheduled for this Saturday, March 9, 2024. We encourage those interested in working at WCPS to keep an eye on our job board for future opportunities.
