We know families and staff are wondering about tomorrow's school status, so we wanted to let everyone know that as of now, we anticipate opening on time and in schools Thursday, Feb. 13. If there were foggy conditions in the morning that necessitated a delay, families and staff would be notified through the usual process. We look forward to seeing everyone in school bright and early tomorrow.
Important update on the status of Wicomico County Public Schools for Wednesday, Feb. 12:
On Wednesday, Wicomico Schools will have a virtual learning day. Students were sent home with laptops and/or other learning materials. Please check the messages from your student’s school (or the school or schools where you work) for virtual learning day instructions.
Those who work in the Central Office and school offices will work remotely on Wednesday, as informed by email before 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Please be safe.
Today the Wicomico County Board of Education approved a final 2024-2025 school calendar adjustment to make up for one of the days missed in January. As preferred by the most people who responded to a survey on makeup day options, and as recommended by the Superintendent and his team, the Board approved changing the Feb. 17 Presidents Day holiday to a day of school with 3-hour early dismissal.
Of the nearly 5,400 responses to the school system’s calendar adjustment survey, more (45%) favored making up a missed school day from January with a school day with 3-hour early dismissal on Monday, Feb. 17 than on either of the other two potential dates. Please plan accordingly.

Due to expectant inclement weather, the Wicomico County Board of Education meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Feb.. 11 at 7 p.m. will now be held at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. The meeting will still be held at 101 Long Ave., Salisbury.
In anticipation of winter weather affecting the school schedule this week, please note that students will bring home laptops and other materials today.

School families and staff should remain alert for other school status updates this week.
