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.
Calling SDMS 8th Graders! There will be an 8th Grade Transition Celebration hosted by the Worcester County Health Department. See the attached announcement for details to RSVP!
