Message from Darla Smith, WMS Principal
Hello Coyote Families!
This year is on a fast track to over! There is still learning to be done and many field trips to be taken. Please help your child stay focused on finishing the year academically strong while also making good decisions.:) We are almost to the finish line, so hang in there and please reach out to us if you need our partnership for any reason. I hope you all have a fantastic week!

WMS Substance Prevention Lessons
Dear Parent(s) and/or Guardian(s),
As part of ongoing efforts to partner with the #1LISD community, all Leander students will be provided lessons on the dangers of substance.
With the passage of HB 3908, each school district shall annually provide research-based instruction related to fentanyl abuse prevention and drug poisoning awareness to students in grades 6 through 12. These lessons incorporate this information. In addition to prevention education, students will also be taught skills to avoid substance use.

Mlisd Laptop Information for 2025 - 2026 School Year
LISD families, you can now secure their students’ district-provided laptops for the 2025-2026 school year. While participation in the mLISD program remains optional, we want to ensure you are well-informed about this transition to facilitate a smooth start to the new school year.
If students pay before the Campus cutoff date in May, they can keep their devices throughout the summer and the next school year.
ALL laptops from 6-8th grade WMS students will be collected:
- May 12: 7th & 8th grade
- May 14: 6th grade
This will be done through Social Studies classes. Unless those students have made their laptop payment form the 25-26 school year.

Athletic Physicals for 26-26 School Year/ Summer Camp Schedule
Dear WMS parent,
We are pleased to announce that we have Dr. Joel LeCombe, DC, from LeCombe Chiropractic coming to Wiley Middle School to perform physicals for your son or daughter for the 2025-2026 school year. As per state law, each student-athlete is required to have a physical to participate in UIL sports. You can schedule with a doctor of your choice, or we have Dr. Joel LeCombe, DC, from LeCombe Chiropractic coming to perform these physicals at a discounted rate of $20.00. We know that it is difficult to schedule a doctor’s visit, take off work, and pay for a physical, so we are presenting this as an option to our student-athletes. We must have a physical on file on the first day of school so that your child is eligible to participate in practice and enjoy the benefits of playing in the first game of the season.
The date he will be here is:
May 15th Physicals will start at 8:30 - 1:00.
Your child has been given a copy of the necessary document for the physical. The physical form is also available online on the district website at physical Form. Please fill out the required signatures and medical history before this time and return the physical and the $20.00 to Coach Shrader or Coach Henry. Cash only.
Completing your sports physical will satisfy the major responsibility required to participate in athletics. Our goal is to remove barriers for you and your child so that on-time participation is possible.
Other important upcoming dates: (Dates and times are tentative and subject to change) You can sign up for these camps at Camp List.
