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.

Please be advised that a K-9 safety scan was conducted at SDMS this morning while students were in their HOLD. Status. This status has now been lifted. This is a prescheduled scan conducted as part of our continued partnership with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office to keep our students and staff as safe as possible. We appreciate your understanding.

At this time, SDMS is conducting a school safety drill with the HOLD status. There is no emergency at this time; however, all hallways are being cleared, and students and staff will continue instruction. Please understand that access to our school may be limited until the drill is completed. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

SDMS will be CLOSED for Students & Staff on Friday, October 18, 2024. We will see you on Monday, October 21st! Have a nice weekend!


Posting on behalf of the Worcester County Health Department for their flu clinic coming up soon!
