🍎✨ Happy Substitute Educators Day! ✨🍎

Today, Wise County Public Schools proudly celebrates our incredible substitute educators — those who step in with flexibility, care, and commitment whenever they’re needed most. Our substitutes provide stability and guidance, keeping learning moving forward for every student, every day.

Thank you for your dedication, adaptability, and the positive impact you make across all our schools. You truly help light the way for student success in Wise County!

🌟 Celebrating Exceptional Dedication on National Education Support Professionals Day! 🌟

Today, on National Education Support Professionals Day, we are especially proud to honor the outstanding commitment and collaborative spirit of three extraordinary members of our team at Wise Primary School:
✨ Whitney Jenkins, Special Education Teacher
✨ Sandra Wingler, Special Education Paraprofessional & Registered Behavior Technician
✨ Sara Johnson, Special Education Paraprofessional

For the past four years, this incredible team has worked side-by-side—combining Mrs. Jenkins' five years of teaching experience, Mrs. Wingler's more than twenty years of expertise, and Mrs. Johnson's four years of dedicated service. Together, they embody the very best of what today’s celebration represents.

Every day, these professionals demonstrate unwavering support for our students with special needs. Their patience, empathy, and deep understanding shine through in everything they do. They recognize that success looks different for every child and consistently go above and beyond to adapt strategies, create supportive learning environments, and meet complex individual needs.

Their collaboration is a powerful force for student growth. By working seamlessly and using individualized techniques, they help students bridge the gap between academic challenges and behavioral goals. Thanks to their efforts, our students feel successful, valued, and truly seen.

On this day dedicated to honoring education support professionals, we are profoundly grateful for the tireless effort, extraordinary compassion, and daily dedication Whitney, Sandra, and Sara bring to our school community at Wise Primary School.
