WCPS Families, to stem any confusion, please be aware that school is in session tomorrow, April 23.
In August 2023, the Board of Education adopted a calendar revision moving the Countywide PD Day from April 23, to May 14, to align with the Presidential Primary election date. As this change occurred prior to the start of the school year, all of our countywide calendars have accurately reflected this information since that time.
We are looking forward to our Family Field Trip at Flagship Cinemas tomorrow! As a reminder, only students who registered and return their permission slip may attend. All students must be accompanied by an adult. Registered families may meet at BES at 9:15 or at the theater at 9:30. See you there!
See it. Hear it. Report it.
With Safe Schools Maryland, there are many ways you can submit an anonymous tip in uncomfortable situations. Save this information to use for reporting. #WeAreWorcester #PartnershipsInAction

Dr. Jon Andes, Board of Education Member, and former Superintendent of Worcester County Public Schools visited our 3rd and 4th grade music classes with an engaging presentation of the Great Highland Bagpipes.
As a founding member of OC Pipes and Drums, Dr. Andes brings a wealth of experience, having played the bagpipes for 27 years. During his visit, he delved into the history of this iconic instrument, explored its intricate components, and treated our students to a performance of traditional bagpipe music.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Andes for sharing his passion and expertise, leaving our young learners inspired by the magic of the bagpipes!
Reminder there is NO after school today! Students will be dismissed using their normal transportation.
Today we celebrate Mrs. Bunting during National School Librarian Day! Thank you for your dedication to fostering a love of reading and helping to shape the future of our students. Your passion for educating and guiding students is invaluable and truly appreciated.
