Hard to believe that the end of the summer break for our students is coming to an end!  Where have all the days gone?  Just in case some of you parents and students may have forgotten public schools grades 1-12 starts on Wednesday, August 27th.  

Starting with our young ones first … Pre-school students will report on September 2nd as stated in the individual notification letter sent to parents.

Headstart students will report as stated in the individual notification letter also that was sent to the parents.  In the Kindergarten the students will begin school on September 2nd.  However, the Worcester Public Schools will be screening Kindergarten children by APPOINTMENT on August 27 – 29th.  If your child does not have an appointment for screening, contact the school your child is registered at after August 18th.

Other information

The cost of the paid lunch has been increased from $1.65 to $1.75, and reduced price meals will remain at $0.40.  If you have questions on eligibility the necessary paperwork will be given to the students at the opening of the school year.  In addition, all schools will be serving breakfast and lunch beginning on August 27th.
