Wiley PTA

Don’t Forget Your School Supplies for 2026–27! Purchase your child’s 2026–27 school supplies through Wiley PTA’s partnership with EPI now through June 16! To order, visit www.educationalproducts.com/shoppacks and enter Wiley’s school ID: WIL772.

For each child, simply order one grade-level pack and one “All Lang. & Elective Classes” pack. School supply packs will be delivered directly to your child’s classroom.

You can also support students in need by adding extra packs to your cart and labeling them “Donation” (include first and last name).

Call for Committee Chairs ‍ ‍As the school year comes to a close, PTA is recruiting committee chairs for the 2026-27 school year. Please see https://www.wileypta.org/volunteer for a selection of opportunities or email Carie Chesarino at treasurer@wileypta.org for more information. We especially need Family Engagement Committee members and a chair, a Cultural Arts Chair, and a Fall Festival Chair.

Help Keep Wiley’s Vegetable Garden Growing This Summer! This school year may be coming to a close, but our vegetable garden still needs care! We're looking for volunteers to help water the garden throughout the summer so it can continue to grow and thrive until students return in the fall.

Thank you for supporting Wiley and helping our garden flourish!

Join the Wiley Band! ‍‍All 3rd, 4th and 5th graders are eligible to join the Wiley Band for the 2026-27 school year! No prior music experience is needed.

Band practice takes place before school, 8-9 a.m. For Beginning Band, practices are on Mondays and Wednesdays. For Continuing Band, practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

You don’t need to own an instrument to sign up; families can select and rent their instruments instead. In September, we’ll hold a Band Interest Meeting at Wiley where you can learn more.

While the Wiley Band is supported through the PTA, tuition donations are required to cover our Band Director and instructional supplies. For the 2026-27 school year, the minimum tuition donation is $520.

Lost and Found Donation Be sure to check the latest items in Lost and Found. Students can look during lunch, and parents are welcome to stop by during school hours. And remember, labeled items are never donated.

Wiley Elementary Foundation

What is the Wiley Elementary Foundation? The Wiley Elementary community is fortunate to have three nonprofits to support three distinctive causes. The Wiley Elementary Foundation’s role is to provide supplemental funding for staff salaries. If you and/or your employer (by way of a charitable contribution or employer match) are able to contribute to our organization, please use this link here. We look forward to seeing you at the next Wiley school event to talk more about the good work we do.

Budget Shortfall ‍ ‍We couldn’t do this without you!

Thanks to our amazing supporters, we’ve reached $26,800 of our $30,000 goal to supplement teacher and staff pay. Your generosity is already making a difference for the upcoming school year.

We’re so close—just $3,200 left.

Let’s cross the finish line together. Click here for donations

Legacy Brick Update We are excited to announce that the new bricks have been installed, and a brand-new column has begun, marking yet another bright chapter for our Wiley community!

Alongside all of the individual bricks donated, we once again secured enough donations to include the names of all graduating 5th graders. Your donations help us strengthen support for our teachers and staff while giving our graduating class a lasting symbol of their achievements and pride at Wiley.

Cecilia Rawlins Fund

Thank you! ‍ ‍The Cecilia Rawlins Fund wants to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this spring so special. Thanks to the Wiley community and our friends, the Cecilia Rawlins Fund had two successful community and fundraising events this spring, raising more than $8,400! Jeff Whiteside’s famous BBQ sold out with rave reviews, and Elite Fire Taekwondo’s festival and kick-a-thon brought so much fun and energy. Both events were an incredible success – and because of you, the Cecilia Rawlins Fund is able to continue supporting Wiley families in meaningful ways.

Thank you to local business partners Elite Fire Taekwondo, Longleaf Swine and BBQ Lab!
