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.
Elle Nichols received the Ripley’s Believe It or Not student of the month for September. She always works hard in class and is willing to help others. Way to go Elle! Keep up the great work!
