When I went to Smith Elementary, it was one of the best Elementary schools I have been to. It was very fun with the most amazing teachers that taught me everything I needed to know! Two of my teachers that I am so grateful for were my 4th-grade teachers at Smith Elementary, Mr. Lederer and Mrs. Hartfield.
When I went to Davis Intermediate, It was the most amazing Intermediate school with many amazing teachers. I also made really great friends. My favorite teacher at Davis for 5th grade is Mrs. Stahr, and for 6th grade is Mrs. Schwartz. Don't get me wrong, I still loved my other teachers as well, but these two teachers were very fun and made learning the most fun ever!
Thank you so much to Wylie ISD!

I love how much Wylie ISD communicates with parents. This tells me they truly value the delicate balance of school and home life, and how we need to work together to help the student build confidence and feel success.
One of my children who attends Wylie schools is disabled and the love and care the teachers show is seen, felt, and appreciated. I see inclusion and acceptance happening in our community and I believe our Wylie public schools pave the way for that.
