As you are aware, over the last several weeks, the WISD Board of Trustees has been discussing moving the district to a four day school week starting the 2025-2026 school year. At last night’s meeting, the Board did just that, approving a four day school week, with Monday as the “off day". This was not a decision taken lightly.

After taking input from WISD administration, WISD faculty and staff members, parents, and community members, the Board asked for a survey to be completed by WISD faculty/staff members. The results of the survey showed that 94.7% of the staff wanted to move to a four day instructional week, and 66.7% of the WISD faculty/staff preferred to have Mondays as the off day to allow them to better prepare for the upcoming week of instruction.

Attached you will find the approved 2025-2026 school calendar.

Join our group of WES and WIS family members and educators working together to strengthen the learning environment and make positive connections between home and school!  We will meet 4 times per year in September, January, April, and July to discuss the needs of families, the roles of parents and schools in education, and supports needed.

Our school has a nationally recognized volunteer program called Volunteers in Public Schools, or VIPs.  Our VIPs are instrumental in giving individual or classroom help to our students and help to reinforce the instruction given by our classroom teachers.

Take this opportunity to make a difference in the lives and futures of our children and become a VIP today!
