From The Principal

Dear Wiley Families,

I hope this finds you and your family well. 

It was wonderful to "see" so many of you at conferences and for having the opportunity to share with you your child's successes.  Thank you for participating in your child's education!

We find ourselves moving back to remote learning.  Hopefully, this will not be for very long.  Until then, please be sure to support your child as they continue learning in their online environment.  As always, staff is here to support your child's academic, as well as social and emotional, learning.

Please be sure to read the current issue of The Wiley Way which you can find  here.   You will find important information about upcoming events and updates regarding Wiley.

As always, thank you for being our partner in your child's education.  Working together, we will ensure their success.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Merivirta









Sincerely,
Mrs. Merivirta

Our Mission
The mission of our school is to create and maintain an environment that ensures that every member of the school community reaches a high level of academic achievement as determined by local, state and national standards. We commit to a comprehensive system of support to assure this outcome.

Our Philosophy
​We the staff, students, and community of Wiley strive to develop the whole person who grows academically, socially, and emotionally in an environment that encourages life-long learning and productive living.

“Summer slide” is a true phenomenon. Summer slide is when students lose some of the academic gains they made during the previous school year, from lack of practice during the summer months. Read on to find out how to stop the summer slide from happening with your child in reading! 

Six books to summer success: Research shows that reading and rereading at least six books during the summer may keep a reader from falling behind. When choosing the six books, be sure that they are just right — not too hard and not too easy.
How do you choose the books….Take advantage of your local library. Ask for help selecting books that match your child's age, interests, and abilities. Libraries often run summer reading programs that motivate kids to read, so find out what's available in your area. Also check scholastic.com booklists for recommendations.

UCS Vision

All children have the right to a rigorous, high-quality education which meets their individual needs. UCS will respect, encourage and empower each and every student to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to be successful, contributing members of a diverse community and global society.

UCS Mission

We are committed to exemplary teaching and learning in order for our students to be prepared for success in the 21st Century.
We will achieve this commitment by engaging the entire community to focus on each child's achievement, with the expectation that every student will pursue some type of post-high school educational endeavor.
