I appreciate the communication and collaboration of staff, students, and our community throughout the first semester, and I look forward to a great semester 2. As we prepare for semester two, please encourage your student to double-check their schedule mid-day on Monday as some updates will be happening Monday morning.

Tuesday will be a big transition for everyone as new classes start which also means meeting new teachers and students. Please encourage your students throughout the day on Monday, just like you did as they prepared for the first day of school in September.

The Wicomico County Special Education Citizens Advisory Committee (SECAC) invites parents and guardians of students with disabilities to participate in the next meeting. The meeting will be held via Zoom on Thursday, February 9th, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The SECAC meeting will focus on the role of the related service provider and how these professionals can provide supports to students with disabilities. If you would like to participate in the Zoom meeting, please email Kevin Smith, Supervisor of Special Education, at kesmith@wcboe.org to request the Zoom meeting information.
