A Message from Mr. WElborn
Last night we held our Kindergarten Round-Up for our new frogs, and it was FABULOUS! We love getting to meet our new little ones joining the pond! Our kinder teachers were thrilled to get to see their faces and visit with them.
This time of year is busy, and we're excited to get the opportunity to celebrate the end of the year with fun activities. Please stay tuned in the coming weeks for more details about all of the fun ways were are going to celebrate!
Go Akin Frogs!

WYLIE ISD Annual Climate Survey
2021 Wylie ISD Parent Climate Survey
Thank you!
Wylie ISD Mask Update Information
Thank you for the enormous response to the mask survey we provided in last week’s COVID 19 blog. Unfortunately, the data from the survey is either corrupted or perhaps loaded incorrectly, providing analytics that doesn’t match up with some campus enrollment numbers. We are asking parents to re-take the survey at a future date. We will be working on the issues that corrupted the data before we send it again. Please watch for this email.
For those who did not open the blog or participate in the survey, here is the link to the original post:

Thanks again for your support and patience as we plan for the next school year.
