These lessons incorporate this information. In addition to prevention education, students will also be taught skills to avoid substance use.

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.
