Heating/Cooling Update:
During this transition time in Spring, it is always difficult to determine when to "switch over" the heat to air conditioning. Once the switch is made, it is very difficult and time consuming to switch back. Therefore, we try to determine the most effective time to make that switch.
After consultation with school administrators and staff it was decided to begin the process. All the schools with boilers have the heat turned off and the process of switching over has begun. The schools with cooling towers will be able to have air as soon as the process of cleaning the towers is complete. This process is anticipated to be completed by early next week.
Thank you for your understanding,
WCPS Schools

We're making waves today! Students in Mrs. Smith's Career Strategies class built and tested their boats. Students were given 2 plastic cups, 10 plastic straws, 12" of plastic wrap, and 12" of duct tape to create their boats. Boats were tested using 1/2" washers for weight. All boats held 20 washers before sinking!
