Substitute Educators Day

Snow Hill Middle School's newest musicians are taking their first steps into the world of band and we couldn’t be more excited! Students began learning how to assemble, hold, and create their very first sounds on their instruments — and the energy in the room was electric!

From clarinets to trombones, flutes to percussion, these young artists are off to an amazing start. We can’t wait to watch them grow, learn, and make music together this year! #WeAreWorcester #ArtsAreAliveInWorcester

This morning, Superintendent Wallace met with her Support Staff Advisory Panel to hear about their experience in our school system. This panel, the teacher advisory panels held last week and the student panel last month are all a part of her commitment to providing space for stakeholders to have open and honest conversations about where WCPS is and how we can move forward. #WeAreWorcester

Third graders at Showell Elementary School celebrated the end of their first ELA module, The Sea, by bringing their learning to life through a hands-on squid dissection! Students examined a real squid to explore how living things are adapted to life in the ocean, making connections to science standards and how learning ties together across subjects. #WeAreWorcester
