If you would like to speak to a Worcester Public Schools employee in a language other than English, the District has phone interpreters for 240+ languages who are available at any time. When you call the school, tell the person answering the phone that you need an interpreter. They will then put you briefly on hold while they get an interpreter on the line to assist. If at any time you need to speak with a particular teacher or another staff member, you can also send them an email asking them to call you with an interpreter on the line, or even request to schedule a time to have a videoconference with the teacher and an interpreter.

iPads and Chromebooks
Worcester Public Schools believes that access to the digital learning experiences is at the forefront of educational equity. For this reason, we commit to providing a device to every student at no cost to families. We strive to create a community of empowered learners who use technology to reduce barriers, access information, and participate in current and future digital environments.
iPads
Students in Pre-K and Kindergarten use iPads. An iPad is a tablet that relies on the Internet for many functions and automatically saves students' work from most apps safely on the Internet. When a student signs into an iPad using their WPS Google account, it is easy to find their previous work, access Seesaw with assignments, and complete assignments using a variety of apps and websites.
Chromebooks
Students in Grades 1-12 use Chromebooks. A Chromebook is a laptop that relies on the Internet for many functions and automatically saves students' work from most apps safely on the Internet. When a student signs into a Chromebook using their WPS google account, it is easy to access and complete assignments using a variety of apps and websites.
Accessibility tools add function to devices and apps so that all students can access learning materials. Scroll to see three types of accessibility tools for each device.
