Some mid-June Worcester Public Schools updates

  •  First, there's no school Monday due to the Juneteenth holiday
  • Second, the last day of school is Tuesday, which is our 180th day.

  • Also on Tuesday at 5:30, there is a Finance and Operations meeting, which includes a facilities update as well as our (last?) monthly transportation update.
  • On Wednesday at 5, there is a Governance meeting (they're doing the student handbook).


  • Hey, Worcester Public Schools have summer programs! Check them out!
  • Don't forget that the Worcester Public Schools requires summer reading BUT it is NOT particular books! We do give suggested lists, though, and there are projects responding.
  • Don't miss the Superintendent's end of year message:


  • The Worcester School Committee will evaluate Dr. Monárrez this summer, as we are required to do. I'll update with dates as we have them. As a reminder, that will be based on her goals, which we agreed upon in February:

      • District Goal: By June 30, 2023 collaboratively develop WPS handbooks and guiding documents to improve district systems in the topics of portrait of a graduate, student support and family and community engagement with equitable fiscal resource allocation to support implementation.  
      • Student Goal: By June 30, 2023 an inclusive learning environment for WPS staff, families and scholars will be established and/or strengthened through the development of district level documents.
      • Professional Goal: By June 30, 2023 participation in New Superintendent Induction Program (NSIP) year 1 will have been completed with all required projects submitted.
