Our incredible teachers are getting ready for the new school year and have created Amazon Wishlists to get a head start on gathering some extra supplies for their classrooms.

We've gathered some of these wishlists on our website at https://bes.worcesterk12.org/o/bes/page/bes-amazon-wish-lists for anyone who would like to help.

A huge thank you to all our parents, community members, and friends who are helping our teachers #ClearTheLists and support our students! We deeply appreciate your generosity!

WCPS families, as you gear up for Back to School shopping, we want you to be aware of an important change. iPads across the school system have been refreshed to a newer model and are ready to go for students' return this September. The new model now requires headphones and earbuds to be USB-C compatible, so be sure to check that compatibility when purchasing from your child's school supply list. All lists have been updated to reflect this compatibility; view them online at https://tinyurl.com/WCPSSupplyList. #WeAreWorcester
