The Wylie Way - Wylie ISD (2024)

We spend time each 9 weeks focusing on a different core value and incorporating that focus into each day. In addition to that, we designate specific Wylie Way days on the campuses. Each campus recognizes the core values in their unique way! Be on the lookout for the Peachjar flyers to give the specifics from your child’s campus.

Educating kids the Wylie Way is about focusing on strengths, not failure, and instilling core ethical values, not excuses. The Wylie Way assures each student is provided a plan and a pathway towards a future career, and most importantly the assurance that every student has a positive relationship with a caring adult that guides them towards success. The Wylie Way is about wonderful teachers helping students forge their pathway towards achieving their best tomorrow, while making their world a better place.

The Wylie Way is more than character education, it’s achievement education!

In Wylie ISD it is important for us to be measuring what truly matters. Our students are more than standardized test scores – they have hopes, feelings, and goals for the future. We want our kids to have access to a place to input all the amazing things about them. We have created an Achievement Profile for our students in grades 3-12 to do just that!

Have your child login to their Achievement Profile with you to learn about some great things going on with the kids! They just need their district username and password to login.

You can see our list of the Top 5 reasons you should check out your child's Achievement Profile by viewing our flyer.

Wylie Way Christmas & Holidays is a resource that provides gifts for Wylie ISD children and their siblings that have an identified financial need through the school district. Participants are approved by district employees at a registration event by providing proof of qualifying documentation (Medicaid, Social Security, Free/Reduced Lunch, Homelessness, SNAP, Unemployment Benefits) and verification of current enrollment of the child in our WISD database.

The event serves as the culmination of the district’s Caring and Giving portion of the Wylie Way. Each year, over 1,000 students are supported during this holiday season. Since each child may request up to 3 gifts that total no more than $150, that’s a lot of generosity shown by our staff, student groups and local community members.

Wylie Way Christmas & Holidays is similar to other holiday gift-giving programs. At registration, children are asked for their wish list. A gift tag is created, with the recipient’s gender and age, along with the wish list. The tags are then distributed to Wylie ISD campuses where they are adopted and fulfilled.

If you’d like to make a tax-deductible donation, click the button below. We would designate this donation strictly to the purchase of items that children have requested whose tags were either not returned or were not adopted.

Thank you for your generosity in the spirit of taking care of one another…The Wylie Way!
