Join us in welcoming Tanya Odle to the team at Wise County Public Schools!
🍎 As we welcome students back for a new school year, our schools will dismiss early during the first two days of classes to help everyone transition into new routines and schedules.
Tomorrow, Friday, August 7, 2026, all schools will dismiss at 12:30 p.m. Early dismissal gives students and staff additional time to adjust to the new school year, helping ensure a smooth and successful start for everyone.
We look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and success.
Welcome back, students and staff!
We are excited to welcome our students back for the 2026–2027 school year tomorrow, Thursday, August 6! Our teachers and staff members have been hard at work preparing engaging classrooms, our transportation team has serviced, cleaned, and sanitized every bus, and our division leadership has implemented new curriculum and strengthened systems to support safe, successful learning. Students, parents/guardians, and staff members are reminded that school will dismiss early at 12:30pm on Thursday, August 6, and Friday, August 7, 2026. We can't wait to welcome our students back, and look forward to an amazing 2026–2027 school year.
We'll see you tomorrow!
The Health Department will be offering three Back-to-School Vaccination Clinics this year for 7th and 12th grade students.
All Wise County Public Schools students entering 7th or 12th grade are welcome to attend any of the clinic dates. Registration will be available on-site, so no advance registration is required.
These clinics are a great opportunity to ensure students are up to date on their required immunizations before the start of the school year.
Please see the flyer below for clinic dates, times, and locations. We encourage all eligible families to take advantage of this opportunity.
