WCPS families, please take a moment to view a joint message from Worcester County Public Schools Superintendent Lou Taylor and Worcester County Sheriff Matt Crisafulli regarding today's school safety incident at Ocean City Elementary School. View it at https://youtu.be/rT5MQlgx6qE.
UPDATE 12:22 PM: At this time, the LOCKDOWN at Ocean City Elementary School has been lifted. All students and staff are safe, and the threat has been deemed unverified.
We are working with law enforcement to dismiss students at the regularly scheduled early dismissal time of 1:00 p.m. with an increased presence of law enforcement.
Parents wishing to pick up their child, must use Keyser Point Road and turn east onto Center Drive. Law enforcement and school system officials will direct parents through the route to pick up their child at their regular dismissal doors.
Buses will utilize the same route.
We ask for your patience and understanding as dismissal will take more time. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
