Hey Families! Join us at Decatur Apartments on Wednesday, August 6th from 2:00–3:00 PM as we get ready for an exciting new school year!

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

The Judy Center Early Learning Hub will be cancelling our Block Party scheduled for Wednesday. Please see the attached flyer for details.

Our hearts are full as we say a bittersweet goodbye to our incredible BES custodians, Mr. Larry Lewis and Mrs. Glenda Holden who are retiring at the end of this school year! 🎉 For years, they've been the quiet heroes behind the scenes, ensuring our school was always a clean, safe, and welcoming place for our students and staff. From sparkling hallways to tidy classrooms, their dedication and hard work made a real difference every single day. They didn't just clean; they cared. They were often the first smiling faces we saw in the morning and the last to leave, always going above and beyond with a kind word or a helping hand. We'll miss their warm presence, their tireless efforts, and the genuine care they poured into our school community. We wish them a retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and all the happiness they so richly deserve! Thank you for everything! ❤️

Yesterday, students from Head Start visited Buckingham to tour our building as they prepare to join us next school year for preK. Student were greeted and had their picture taken with the one and only Bucky Bear! We can't wait to see all these students in the fall!
