Wiss Nation Celebrates Native American Heritage Month
Students will learn about the accomplishments of the people who are the original United States inhabitants, explorers, and settlers.
Check out What I Learned: Annual Report to the Community
We invite the community to explore our 2024-2025 Annual Report to the Community which spotlights students across the district sharing what they learned via quotes and videos.Through their own words, you’ll see how education isn’t just about memorizing facts—it’s about exploring new ideas, asking big questions, and finding inspiration in unexpected places.

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.
