Wilmeth Elementary Newsletter

We have moved up our registration timeline for our returning McKinney ISD students. As we prepare for open enrollment, our priority is ensuring that all residential students secure their place in MISD. To help us serve our students effectively, we encourage you to complete your child’s registration as soon as possible. Registering early allows district leaders to make informed decisions regarding class sizes, teacher assignments, and campus needs.

Snap codes for students who were enrolled with MISD as of February 20, 2025, will start going out the week of March 3rd. Parents will need to complete their student's registration to have access to their student's 2025-26 schedule (secondary) and homeroom teacher (elementary).

In honor of Black History Month, we spotlight the remarkable life of Leonard Evans Jr., a man whose impact on McKinney ISD, and the entire McKinney community, is difficult to overstate. He was the first Black teacher to work at a white campus in McKinney ISD, and he became the first Black MISD school board member after more than 30 years as an educator. Today, his name adorns Evans Middle School, and his legacy endures through the multitude of lives that he touched.

We invite you to read more about the inspiring life of Leonard Evans Jr.: https://www.mckinneyisd.net/article/2038877
