WISD UPCOMING EVENTS
Wylie ISD trustees preliminarily agreed that students will attend high school based on elementary school zones. Students living in Akin, Birmingham, Cox and Hartman attendance boundaries will attend Wylie East. Students living in Dodd, Groves, Tibbals and Whitt attendance boundaries will attend Wylie High School. The Smith boundary line will be split with students living south of an extension of Park Boulevard leading from Parker Road to Lake Lavon at Wylie East and students living north of the extension attending Wylie High. This configuration will place 60 percent of the current school attendance at Wylie High and 40 percent at Wylie East.

Parent Access, a feature of the computer program Assess+, allows parents of Wylie ISD students in grades 2nd through 12th to view the grades, meal account balances, course registration requests and monitor attendance online. Beyond grades, the program's features also include descriptions of assignments and an alert system if the child is having problems. Once registered, the account continues year to year. If a new student enrolls, transfers into the district or is promoted to the second grade, the parent will have to register. This process is done at each campus. Training sessions show parents how to access their children's grades via a username and password. For more information, contact Wylie ISD or your child's school.
