Class of 2021 Facebook group:
All parents and students from the Wylie East class of 2021 are invited to join our Facebook page @Wylie East Class of 2021. There are two security questions that require your response when you join. The security questions are to ensure we're communicating with Wylie East High School seniors only as we share detailed information on this site and want to avoid confusion with other schools or classes. This group is where seniors and parents can have discussions and ask questions about senior year.
*Class of 2022*
Class of 2022 Facebook group:
All parents and students from the Wylie East class of 2022 are invited to join our Facebook page @WEHS Class of 2022. There are two security questions that require your response when you join. The security questions are to ensure we're communicating with Wylie East High School seniors only as we share detailed information on this site and want to avoid confusion with other schools or classes. This group is where seniors and parents can have discussions and ask questions about senior year. We do our best to filter as much information to you as possible about senior year. We are not school employees, but a sub-committee of the Wylie East PTSA who are here to help you navigate senior year!
Keep an eye out for your first Senior Parent Committee meeting for the Class of 2022. The meeting will be held on Facebook LIVE on the WEHS Class of 2022 page. If you have not joined the page, please join as soon as possible so you don't miss any of the exciting announcements (https://www.facebook.com/groups/229098194525236).
If you have any questions, please email WylieEastSeniors@gmail.com.
