WISD was so excited to welcome all of our students this morning for the first day of school! Our classrooms are once again filled with eager learners and dedicated staff, ready to make this an amazing year. Here’s to a great 2025–2026 school year!

The first day of school is tomorrow, and we are so excited to welcome our students back!
Traffic Reminder: Please allow extra time during the morning and afternoon commute, and keep these safety tips in mind:
One-Way Traffic:
From 7–8 a.m. and again 3–4 p.m. Monday–Friday on school days, South Post Oak will be one-way from Coke Road to Newsome Street to allow for school drop-off and pick-up traffic.
School Bus Safety:
Flashing Yellow Lights means the bus is preparing to stop. Slow down, stay alert, and watch for children.
Extended Stop-Arm means you must come to a complete stop until the arm is retracted.
Let’s work together to keep our students safe and make tomorrow’s first day smooth for everyone!

Important Update for WISD Families!
We’re excited to announce that WISD is transitioning from Lunch Money Now to PaySchools Central—our new and improved online payment platform for student meals!
This upgraded system offers:
✅ Enhanced security
✅ Better functionality
✅ A more streamlined experience for families and staff
Please note: The Lunch Money Now platform has been disabled. A redirect is in place to help guide you straight to PaySchools Central so you can continue adding funds to your child’s lunch account without interruption.
If you haven’t checked out the new system yet, now’s the perfect time!
To help make the switch as easy as possible, we’ve put together a set of helpful resources just for you:
