The current, updated 2024-2025 school year calendar is now available on our website.
On Tuesday the Maryland State Board of Education approved Wicomico’s waiver request for Monday, June 16. This was the final piece of Wicomico County Public Schools' plan for making up six days missed due to winter weather.
Wicomico now has the OK to end the school year on Friday, June 13 for students, teachers, instructional assistants and nurses. The earlier version of the calendar that showed school on Monday, June 16 should now be discarded.
While this updated calendar still needs approval from the Wicomico County Board of Education at its March 11th meeting, the calendar is available now for reference and planning purposes. (Following the Board’s vote, only the approval note at the bottom right corner of the calendar would change.)

State law requires that all public schools in Maryland survey students about school climate. The Maryland School Survey provides Local School Systems (LSSs), the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), and families with valuable information about the learning environment, climate, and safety of each public school in the State of Maryland.

We are excited to share that Ms. Stephanie Poltrack (Young Business Leaders Science Teacher) and Mr. James McCrobie (Young Business Leaders Program Liaison) have partnered with the Maryland Agricultural Education Foundation, Inc. (MAEF) to pilot an Aeroponics Grow Tower in the classroom. Today was the start of a Professional Development experience with SUNY Potsdam College on effective uses of the grow tower with our students.
Not only will students learn how to connect agriculture with the science curriculum, but they will be exploring how alternative forms of agriculture can have many business and entrepreneurial impacts with such a growing population to support.
We know…
Students who grow food, try new foods.
Students who grow food, eat healthier foods.
Students who grow food, increase their physical activity.
Students who grow food, understand and can communicate the source and value of agriculture.
Students who grow food, are more engaged in the learning experience.
The list goes on!
Stay tuned for updates as our Young Business Leaders dive into learning with our grow tower!

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.
6th Young Business Leaders Signature School Program students are currently creating a Business Model Canvas (BMC), a one-page “graphic organizer” of all the key components needed to create a business.
Students have started creating this Business Model by identifying the Problem, the Customer, and the Solution. Next, they outline the other factors entrepreneurs consider when building a business: Unique Value Proposition of their solution, costs, metrics, revenue, selling channels, and customer relationships.
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. (We recognize this may require students to transport materials back and forth, but it is necessary to be prepared in case snow comes sooner than is currently predicted.)
Tomorrow (Tuesday, Feb. 11) will be a school day, but we are announcing now that schools will dismiss 3 hours early on Tuesday, with no after-school or evening activities. Wicomico County Public Schools is prepared to have a virtual learning day on Wednesday, Feb. 12 if needed.
School families and staff should remain alert for other school status updates this week.
