Our district will host a Zoom Special Education Citizens Advisory Committee meeting on Thursday, May 26, at 6:00 p.m., by Zoom. Email Mr. Kevin Smith, Supervisor of Special Education at ksmith@wcboe.org, for the link to the Zoom meeting.

This is a reminder to parents of students receiving special education services:  Please complete the Maryland Special Education Parent Involvement Survey you recently received in the mail.   Your feedback is so important in guiding our efforts to improve special education and related services in Wicomico County.  If you have misplaced the paper copy or you would prefer to complete it on-line, please go to www.mdparentsurvey.com to do so.  Thank you very much. 

Please celebrate with us as we recognize Ms. Traci Yerkes as a Tech4Learning Innovative Educator. We are proud to recognize Ms. Yerkes as an innovative user of Tech4Learning products and a leader in our school and the district.
