🚌 Safety first! 🚨
Our students did a fantastic job today practicing their school bus evacuation drills! They learned how to stay calm, listen closely to their driver, leave backpacks behind, and exit safely and quickly.
We are so proud of our riders for taking safety seriously! 🙌
Thank you so very much to our UCS bus drivers and transportation team for keeping our bus riders safe every single day! 🚍

Book Fair excitement is building at Wiley!

Our students got a sneak peek at the crates and boxes that just arrived for for next week's book fair, and their faces say it all!

While the books are still under wraps, the anticipation is growing as we get ready for a week filled with amazing stories, favorite characters, and new adventures.

The book fair will run next week, Oct.12-16.
Most students will be shopping during their scheduled media center time.

The book fair will also be open during parent teacher conferences. Students are welcome to shop accompanied by parents during that time as well.
