Attention WCPS families: With temperatures low, WCPS wants to remind our students and their families to be safe near bodies of water that form ice this time of year. Remember, the ice on ponds, storm water retaining areas, and canals is never strong enough to allow any human to walk on them. Keep the below safety tips in mind for winter water safety.

• Do not walk, skate, or play on frozen bodies of water. A good rule to follow is there is no such thing as a sate thickness of ice in our area.
• Keep pets and children away from ice-covered bodies of water.
Animals are particularly at risk of falling through thin ice.
• Educate children. Tell kids about the dangers of playing near frozen bodies of water and reinforce the importance of never venturing out on the ice.
• Report dangerous conditions. If you see anyone venturing onto the ice, immediately call 91l and inform local authorities.

Mrs. Eure's PreK4 Math and STEM explorers investigated ice melting, engineered creative structures with blocks, and practiced identifying numbers through hands-on play. Learning through curiosity, problem-solving, and fun is the Eagle Way! 🦅👩🏼‍🔬🎲

Worcester drivers—safety starts with you. If you see a school bus with flashing red lights, make sure to stop and wait. Remember to always stop when the stop-arm is out. #WeAreWorcester

We are super excited to celebrate our Quarter 2 community-building activity on January 29th with a Glow Party! 🌟

We are beyond proud to celebrate our Teacher of the Year— Mrs. Hood! She is an educator who truly lives out the Eagle Way every single day. Through passion, dedication, and an unwavering belief in every child, she creates a classroom where students feel seen, supported, and inspired to soar. Please join us in congratulating and celebrating an incredible educator who makes our school a better place every day! 🦅💙💛

Happy Math Monday (and Tuesday!) 2nd graders have been busy with counting collections as we transition to learning about 3 digit numbers. Students were given a bag of hundreds of items to organize and count. They discovered several strategies for efficient and precise counting based on place value--hundreds, tens, and ones.
