It's Testing Time!
We’ve officially entered testing season, and our students are ready to shine! Thank you, parents and guardians, for all the support you've given at home to help prepare your childrenβ€”whether it’s ensuring a good night's sleep, a healthy breakfast, or words of encouragement. Your partnership makes a big difference, and we appreciate all you do!

Warm regards,
Mr. Diaz
Principal Wiggs Middle School
