WORCESTER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS -

Good evening, WCPS families. This is Superintendent of Schools Lou Taylor, and I have written an open letter to our community this week correcting some misinformation about our school system. I hope you will take a moment to visit our website, www.worcesterk12.org, to read it. Thank you.

Did you know you can give input on the next WCPS calendar before it's even designed? A new survey for the WCPS community is open now, and the information received will be used to create the option(s) for next year's calendar. Complete the survey at https://tejoin.com/scroll/351798411 before November 1.
