Wise County Public Schools will be closed the week of November 25th for our Thanksgiving Break! We hope that all of our faculty, staff and students enjoy the break! We look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Monday, December 2, 2024!
Hello UMS! Tonight is the 29th Annual Academic Night at 6PM. We have 210 families signed up and ready to learn! Students will get their schedules at the end of the day today at school. It really helps if you bring those back with you when you return this evening.
We know the forecast, and if we have to stop in the middle of academic night to be safe, we will. But I do not think that will happen and we are proceeding!
This is a big night! We are excited and look forward to seeing everyone there!

Hello UMS! We received our school score from our performance last year on lots of different metrics. SOLs are not all we are graded on now, and things like attendance, growth, advanced scores, etc. matter.
I am very proud to say that our school score was 87.4. This puts us in the high portion of the "on track" designation. We are so happy to have this.
Our school is a good school and the reasons are the families, teachers, students, and staff. We have high expectations for ALL of our students and we try to push them to be better student-citizens. We are not perfect, but we work hard to be a good school.
Hello UMS, I learned something today. We have a third veteran on our staff.
One of our newest employees, Specialist Heather Allen who works in our cafeteria, is also a veteran.
She was in active combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Army.
Happy Veterans Day to Spc. Allen also!!!
Academic Night Registrations open tomorrow at 7AM. 8th graders get to go first!
8th grade registration is 11/12 beginning at 7am until midnight of that day.

You can also pay for your student. https://wisek12.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/1153/286/False/True
There is a $0.25 fee but this is the best and quickest way. Make sure you put the student’s name in the field.
UMS would like to wish a very happy VETERANS DAY to two of our finest; Sgt. Brian Renfro and Major Frank Brooks.
We are so happy to have them on our staff working with our kids. Both were highly decorated and retired from the armed services.
We are so proud of Sgt. Renfro and Maj. Brooks! And proud of all that have served to make this country great!
A great end to Red Ribbon week today with the mock election! Over 400 students voted today and we used the Town of Appalachia ballot.
We are closed Monday and Tuesday for a nice long break!
Thank you to everyone for supporting Red Ribbon Week and our students. I hope that everyone has an awesome break!
Go Bears, beat the Falcons! Go Cats, beat the Vols! LOL
