WCPS families, as you gear up for Back to School shopping, we want you to be aware of an important change. iPads across the school system have been refreshed to a newer model and are ready to go for students' return this September. The new model now requires headphones and earbuds to be USB-C compatible, so be sure to check that compatibility when purchasing from your child's school supply list. All lists have been updated to reflect this compatibility; view them online at https://tinyurl.com/WCPSSupplyList. #WeAreWorcester

This summer in 5th grade ELA, students have been exploring the big question: What is the fuel of the future? Through informational texts, discussions, and opinion writing, we’ve been learning about fossil fuels, their impact on the environment, and the rise of clean, renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower. To make learning come alive, students participated in a Cookie Mining Simulation, where they "mined" chocolate chips from cookies to model the effects of fossil fuel extraction. This fun and hands-on activity helped students see how mining can damage ecosystems—and inspired thoughtful conversations about cleaner alternatives for our planet’s future. We’re combining reading, writing, critical thinking, and real-world issues to build powerful literacy skills that last far beyond the classroom!
