Dr Seuss Day Friday March 3
We will be reading lots of Dr. Seuss books to celebrate his birthday next week.
Help us celebrate this great author by allowing your student to bring his or her favorite Dr. Seuss book to school on Friday March 3rd and dress up as his or her favorite character.
Examples might be Thing 1 and Thing 2 wearing a red t-shirt and pinning a white paper plate on the front that says Thing 1 or Thing 2. The crazy hair could be made out of blue construction paper.
There are so many possibilities! www.Seussville.com has pictures to help also.
Library Schedule
We have needed to adjust our Library Schedule for this school year.
Our new Library Day is now each Friday. Please make sure that your child has returned their library books by each Friday so they can check out a new book to take home to read.
We will begin the new schedule this week.

Wylie ISD 2017-18 Calendar Release
If you have not seen the updated calendar for next year, it is posted on the district website. There is a survey that you can give feedback regarding changes you would like to see.
For the most part, it is similar to this year's. Some changes that have occurred include:
- School will start August 21, the third Monday of August, opposed to the fourth Monday. The district applied for a waiver to do this.
- Christmas Break starts on a Thursday and ends on a Tuesday, making the break for staff 13 days, opposed to the typical 16 days.
- They added a teacher work day following Christmas Break.
- Spring Break is now aligned with Dallas County and Collin County community colleges. So it is now the 2nd week of March.
