Our thanks to everyone who took time to nominate one of our outstanding teachers for Wicomico Teacher of the Year. When nominations closed last Tuesday Wicomico County Public Schools had received 803 submissions, so we know our community appreciates its teachers.
We look forward to the recognition of nominees by our schools in December, and then in January the quarterfinalists and semifinalists will be announced. One of the semifinalist teachers will be named the next Wicomico Teacher of the Year on April 9. Excited to find out which of our outstanding teachers that will be!
Individuals wishing to provide comments on any of the policies before the Board meeting may send their thoughts to comments@mywcps.org or mail them to Dr. Brian Raygor, Wicomico County Public Schools, 2424 Northgate Drive, Salisbury, MD 21802
