Car lines will move more slowly at all campuses.
Bus departure and drop-off times may be delayed.
Some routes may be adjusted to avoid hazardous areas.
How you can help:

Food Service Payment Update: Our payment system remains down across all campuses as we work with our vendor to fix it quickly. If you recently paid online and received confirmation, no further action is needed.
For now: Send cash or checks (payable to Wylie ISD) to your campus, and include your student’s first & last name and “lunch payment.”
Payments made during this time will post to accounts and appear online once the system is restored. We’ll send a notification when service is back up.
