Now that we have reached our midway point of our 3rd 9 Weeks, we would like to remind our families of the importance of school attendance (when we are in school) for overall school success, even more so now because of the missed days due to inclement weather. It is very important for students to complete their virtual work assignments on these virtual days to assist with retention of what has been and will be discussed in their classes.
Please try to schedule appointments around school hours when possible. For local, routine appointments, please try to have your child at school for as much of the school day as possible to limit missed instruction.
Friendly Reminder- per Wise County Schools, Parents are permitted 5 parent notes to excuse absences for their child per semester (vacations are not excused). Once a student reaches a total of 5 (excused and/or unexcused) absences in a semester, only doctor's excuses will be accepted. We appreciate your understanding and support as we move forward with our school year. Please do not hesitate to call us with any questions or concerns :)

National School Resource Officer (SRO) Appreciation Day is observed annually on February 15th; however, we felt that it was appropriate to show our school resource officers appreciation today, Friday, February 13th. Wise County Public Schools sends a huge THANK YOU to the Wise County Sheriff's Office, and to our SRO's for everything they do for our students and staff. Being an SRO is about so much more than safety; it’s about building bridges, mentoring our youth, and being a friendly face in the hallway every single day.
Thank you, to all of our SRO's, for being protectors, teachers, and role models. Our schools are better because you’re in them! 💙
