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.

Congratulations to our Stephen Decatur High School Teacher of the Year, Megan Seyler! 🎉
We are incredibly proud to celebrate Ms.Seyler—a 13-year veteran English teacher whose dedication to students goes far beyond the classroom. She serves our community tirelessly as an After School Academy and Summer Academy instructor, provides tutorial support for all subjects, and lends her expertise on the Maryland State Department of Education’s Teacher Advisory Council.
Her impact has reached the national stage as well, as she was featured by the Center for American Progress as a teacher of inclusion, helping celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Act and advocating for equity and opportunity for all learners.
Perhaps what makes this honor even more special is that Ms. Seyler is a graduate of our school. Her journey is a powerful example of service, leadership, and excellence, and we could not be more proud to call her one of our own. 💙🖤🤍
Please join us in congratulating an educator who truly makes a difference every single day-
Megan Seyler! 👏👏👏
