PUBLIC RELEASE
Community Eligibility Provision
Wiley School District is participating in a Universal Breakfast and Lunch Program for the current school year (2023-2024). All students enrolled at Wiley School may participate in the breakfast/lunch program at no charge to them.
However, the application for free/reduced meals is used for many things besides school food. Filling out the application helps us receive additional program opportunities from the state to better serve Wiley students. As Colorado moves to free school meals, this application is still extremely important in getting us funding, program opportunities, and state support for change. Please help us and your child by filling out the application. We appreciate your participation and investment in your child's future.
The school breakfast and lunch that we serve follows U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The Universal Meals Program cannot succeed without your support; please encourage your children to participate in school meal programs.
All meals will be served to all students at no charge regardless of the eligibility status.

Hi Wiley Staff, Students and Families!
Just over a week and the 2023-24 school year will be under way! The school administrative team and I have themed this year "Under Construction!" We have been busy trying to construct a successful start to the 2023-24 school year. Much of that construction deserves a huge thank you to Mr. Bart Michael and his crew for the tremendous amount of work they have done this summer to help outfit Wiley School with new flooring, new paint, and new furniture. The school looks great!
Another welcome to the new staff joining the Wiley team this year and a warm welcome back to our wonderful returning staff. Your hard work and dedication to Wiley students, families, and community is appreciated and does not go unnoticed.
I am anticipating a productive two days of preparation, "construction," with staff on Monday August 14th and Tuesday August 15th. I know many staff members have been at school already setting up their classrooms to be welcoming learning spaces for students. I challenge all of us, including myself, to continue to make Wiley school the positive place that welcomes all and makes all students feel cared for and excited about their learning journey. Between the school day, extra-curricular activities and other events, many students spend as much time with us, or more, than they do at home. Each day, and for every one of our students, we have the ability to make their day great or simply make it better. It is a choice, each and every one of us can make as we enter the new school year. Our frame of mind, enthusiasm, compassion, humor and appreciation of all that we have is projected onto our students and the experiences they have each day. What we do, how we react, and the environment we create is so important for students to feel successful in our classrooms.
Fall sports and activities are getting underway and students are ready to proudly represent the Wiley Panthers! I look forward to cheering on your dedication, skill, and success. I know all Willey participants will compete with pride and dignity and promote good sportsmanship befitting Wiley Panther tradition!
I'm excited to see all the smiling faces of students, staff, and parents next week and celebrate the beginning of the school year with you all. Families, thank you for entrusting your student's education to us.
Ms. Erin Brophy, Superintendent
