WSD Launches New Bus Safety Program
WSD is partnering with our local law enforcement and BusPatrol to launch a new school bus safety enforcement program beginning September 30. All WSD buses will be outfitted with photo enforcement technology to detect the license plates of vehicles that fail to stop for school buses, putting children at risk.
National Hispanic Heritage Month
Wiss Nation is proud to recognize the history, culture, contributions, and influence of Hispanic and Latine Americans.
Shady Grove Designated No Place for Hate

Shady Grove SELebrates
The entire Shady Grove community of 711 students all came together for a supercharged SELebration, including a minute-it-to-win-it competition between the grade-level students selected for demonstrating the character trait of responsibility. In 60 seconds, K-2 students rushed to stack and unstack 10 cups in a pyramid, and grades 3-5 tried to balance a stack of dice on a popsicle stick. The assembly kicked off with a schoolwide activity where all students participated to make sounds that mimic a rainstorm.
Shady Grove Pride
Our school is proud to serve more than 670 students in grades K-5 with a strong sense of community, a rich curricular program, an inspiring learning atmosphere, and a commitment to character.
Wiss SELebrates: Belongingness
Each month, our schools incorporate lessons and activities that support social emotional learning (SEL) skills -- self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision making.
We Are Shady: PBIS Parody
This September, every staff member at Shady Grove participated in a parody song and dance to teach students about PBIS. The parody of Beyonce's "Texas Hold 'Em" taught students about being respectful, responsible, and safe in the classroom, hallways, bathroom, playground, and cafeteria. Thanks to Mrs. Cheryl Broderick, SGE teacher, for writing the lyrics and Ms. Karah Barrist, former SGE music teacher, for the vocals.
