From The Principal

Dear Wiley Families,

It is hard to believe that school is just around the corner!  I hope that you have been enjoying the summer and continue to do so.
 
Currently, the window for registering for attending the Virtual Academy for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year is underway.  You may enroll through August 3rd.  At that time the opportunity for enrollment will close.  Also, if you registered for the academy in the spring and have changed your mind, you must notify the district of your decision.

The District will be hosting a job fair for a variety of positions on Wednesday, August 4th.   Please consider joining the school work community.  

Information for both of these items can be found on the Wiley homepage banner.

Office staff will be returning on August  3; if you  need assistance please contact the office.

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

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.
