In October of 2023, the Board of Elementary approved reopening Wiley School as a 6th Grade Center for the 2025-26 school year. The following outcomes are anticipated for sixth graders who have the opportunity to attend a self-contained 6th-grade center:
- A designated space to better prepare and transition from elementary school to the middle school model via a more controlled 6th-grade center will help grow their independence, maturity, and interdependent skills.
- More time for 6th-grade students to discover how to be productive learners and students.
- Students will thrive academically.
- Students will have more time to mature and learn to make age-appropriate decisions.
- Incidents resulting in office discipline referrals and behavioral incidents will decrease.
- A 6th-grade center will help improve the overall culture and climate at both middle school campuses.
- Fewer behavioral incidents and a positive culture and climate will also allow more time to focus on fostering a safe and nurturing learning environment for our students and staff.
- The space will allow the whole child to grow and develop.
